WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER TVQG COVID SHOW AND SHARE
VIRTUAL ONLINE QUILT SHOW
As it became evident that our usual guild meetings would not take place for some time, we began to think of ways to stay connected and see quilting projects that we would normally share at our meetings. We are thrilled that so many members have sent in photos of their beautiful handiwork. Some say a few words and others say more. Some sent in one photo and others sent in several. In any case, we are sure you will enjoy this display of our talented members.
Just click on the photos under each name to enlarge and scroll through them.
Enjoy the beauty and variety of our
TVQG COVID SHOW AND SHARE!

“Trade Winds” - 72” x 72” Quilt
5. Mary-Lou Gatward
Queen Sized Unity Quilt - The design is from Bonnie Hunter (Quiltville). Bonnie created this medallion quilt called Unity for all of her fans to have a project to work on during the pandemic. Each week she would give the instructions for the next round. All of the fabrics came from my stash. I will be gifting this quilt to my daughter.
6. Mary Veenman
Coffee mugs - I took a scorched workshop with Janet Scruggs. Coffee beans in the corners were used to attach it to the base which had already been match stick quilted and faced.
“Leaves” - This was started in a scorched workshop with Janet Scruggs. This small wall hanging quilt was match stick quilted and faced before attaching the "Scorched Leaves" piece by beads at the top and bottom.
Mug rugs (mirror images) are made from the leftover fabric from a table runner.
Christmas Stockings - in 2019, I made a Christmas stocking for my great nephew and his Momma liked the Buffalo Plaid and thought she would like one (made for 2020). Machine quilted and hand embroidered.
Batiked Fruit Series - Batiked these in the mid 70s
Mary Veenman
Yellow, grey and black quilt - shows front and back. A lot of the fabric came from one of the guild's auctions. Quilted by Pat Warr.
Quilt Donated to the London Chaplaincy - Made from partially completed blocks and fabric donated to the London Community Chaplaincy, this was given to a resident living in a low income housing development.
Cushions and Mug Rugs - the middle pillow was made from a kit which inspired me to dig into my Christmas fabric stash to make two more with matching mug rugs.
Maple Leaf Cushions - I found the maple leaf template on the Canadian Living website and resized it. I zigzagged around and echo quilted around the maple leaf, and quilted the side pieces.
Small Maps of the Netherlands/Nederland - Painted, hand and machine stitched, hand embroidered, stenciled, and faced. The second map of the Netherlands is in 1948 before they reclaimed land, the way the Netherlands looked when my parents immigrated to Canada.
Canada Themed Small Quilted Hangings - One was made from a Northcott kit, one made from leftover fabric from the kit and the other one to match one of the pillows I made.
Schlep Bags - I've made 3 schlep bags with Canada themed fabric purchased at a Guild auction. These photos are of two of them...as gifted

7. Betty Huygen
"Jewel Box" - I had a lot of pretty browns left over from another project. I never feel very confident when making a scrappy quilt; however, I do like the way this first one turned out.
I hand quilted it.
The second quilt is called "Ribbons" from Jordan Fabrics. I had the flowered print for a long time and could never find a quilt that appealed til I saw this pattern. I changed the border from the pattern and I really like how it turned out. It is hand quilted.
The last quilt is called "Interlocking Chains". I found it in a magazine and there was no name with it.
(You will notice that all three quilts are hanging nicely from something Betty's husband made for her so she could hang her quilts from her porch!)
Betty Huygen
"Friendship Runner" is from Jordan Fabrics. I have a very narrow hall table that needed a new runner. This pattern lets you make it as wide or as narrow as you need.
This is one of the few times that I have machine quilted a project.

8. Cindi Lee
Halloween Door Hanging
9. Maria Van Boxmeer
Three quilts I've worked on since COVID began.
The first quilt is queen size and done in earth tones and I quilted it. It is a Northcott “Disco” pattern I bought from Kalidescope in St. Marys. My husband refers to it as Pac Man Quilt but I would name it as “Circles.”
The second quilt for my grandson is done in blue and yellow tones and I quilted it as well. It is a “Yellow Brick Road” pattern and the fabrics are from Sew Creative in Mount Brydges. I think I would call this twin “Blue Bricks.”
The third quilt is a queen size French General kit from Sew Creative entitled “Estela.” The lovely rose and taupe colours make a beautiful blend for the awesome design. This is my next quilting project and I’m naming this one “Geometric Roses.”
10. Marie White
The wall hanging in gold and burgundy and the Dresden Plate are new quilts.
The Christening dress and jumper are older but I thought they were different and people might like to see them.
Marie White - three older quilts.
11. Deb Caldwell
Here are several completed projects. The large pieced black quilt was started before COVID and finished during COVID. The next five are all COVID quilts.
The Pinwheel quilt is for my friend to send to another granddaughter in B.C. for Christmas.
The crib quilt was hand quilted.
The oriental doll quilt was done at a workshop at Krafty Kennedy’s.
Deb Caldwell - The mat and scrappy quilt are from workshops held after our last quilt show.
Deb Caldwell - This puppy quilt was for a friend to gift to her 5-year old great niece.
Deb Caldwell - These photos are of placements for my daughter and granddaughters going back to school during COVID. Teaching colleagues of my daughter liked hers so much that I made three more to thank them for keeping our kids safe.
12. Judi Waters
"Happy Thanksgiving!" - I used this first project on my Thanksgiving table.
My second submission is called "October". A few years ago, the group that I quilted with gave ourselves a challenge. The background or part of the background had to be tiled. Then we had to produce something with our favourite season and our favourite colours.
For my grandson’s 9th birthday, he asked to go fishing. So for his Christmas gift I made him this quilt entitled "Steve’s Pond". It was longarm quilted by Pat Warr. Unfortunately Pat Warr’s amazing longarm quilting doesn’t show up very well in this picture. She has little frogs climbing up the borders. Her cobwebs can be seen though and she has added so many little touches. I was blown away by her work.
13. Linda McAffer
This is a recent Learn to Quilt Project
14. Dale Box
Thank goodness for a large fabric stash. I have been sewing and quilting from the start and continue. The first picture is a quilt I hand quilted for Sheila Cameron while I worked on something of my own to quilt.
I did the second one at a retreat in November.
By the way, I’m going to be a Great Grandma again in January
Dale Box - Three Smaller Projects
15. Kim Pallett
Fall and Halloween cushions
My Christmas Quilt is called "Stockings Are Hung". The size is 60” x 70”.
Design by Wendy Shepard from the Quilter’s World August 2019 magazine.
Quilted by Karen Luo
16. Vivian Cothros
"Moonlight" - This log cabin variation produces a sort of circular centre, which was the inspiration for the quilting in circles. It is machine pieced and hand quilted with pearl cotton
17. Andrea Manias
This king-size double wedding ring quilt was quilted by Linda Quinn. It will be presented to my goddaughter, married last summer.
18. Gail Kreek
The Baby Quilt was made for a niece’s newborn using a panel. I machine quilted it but did some hand quilting on the details.
“Crazy for You” is my second earth-toned scrap crazy quilt. It is foundation pieced, and machine stitched and assembled with the “quilt as you go” method. I work on squares for this type of quilt over time and finally had enough to put them together to form a twin size quilt.
“Summer Scraps 2020” – This scrap quilt was pieced in the spring then hand quilted over this past summer, mainly sitting on my back deck.
The winter themed quilt is made from the Holiday Heartland fabric collection from Henry Glass & Co. I fell in love with the pattern when I saw it in Annie's Christmas 2020 magazine and finally found the fabric online in a quilt shop in PEI. I did both machine and hand quilting on it.
19. Libby Thorne
"Monet Wedding Ring Quilt" - Pattern by Judy Martin
Made for the 2020 Mennonite Relief Quilt Auction, it is my second time making it.
The original auction is always the last Saturday of May in New Hamburg.
Because of COVID, it took place online this year.
Judy Martin’s patterns are very well written and Libby has a few more planned.
(By the way, Libby’s quilt brought in over $500.00 for the Mennonite Relief Auction! Congratulations Libby!)
20. Louise Newman
"Endless Summer" – 105” x 105”
This was machine quilted by Bonnie Wilson at Edge to Edge Designs.
21. Susan Olejnik
I made these quilts during COVID. The forest animals quilt is for my granddaughter and the floral quilt is for a friend. The forest animals quilt is for a double bed and the floral quilt is queen size.
22. Gwen McCall
Wall Hanging – “Distancing"
23. Jette Collins
I started making these to sell in our Quilt Show Boutique and then it became an obsession,
using up my stash.
24. Meribeth Dunkerley
Grey/maroon quilt - I use Japanese fabrics when I make a quilt for men. I loved this one although difficult to do. My son met this friend in high school and we have remained close. The colours were his high school and university colours but I also just like them. Pleased with result.
In the second quilt, each square was different. Loved the quilt. Cut out the quilt. Hundreds of pieces! Lent the pattern. Lost the pattern. No idea what the pattern was called. Started to call around to find it just with my description. Matched it in Seaforth. YEH! Continued making it. Found the original pattern in the envelope of a completely different pattern. After all that I’m keeping the quilt!
The red and grey quilt is a gift made for my daughter-in-law's parents in the Netherlands. Trees have a little Canadian theme complete with the Canadian flag. They love Canada.
Next is a Halloween project.
The grey quilt is 92” by 98.” Karen Luo did the quilting and it was amazing.
25. Carol Thorley
This Log Cabin quilt was long armed by Dianne Weeks
26. Barbara Smith
I completed this quilt this year. It is called "Drop Box" and is from a Cathy Brown book from our quilt library. I machine quilted it with my domestic machine.
27. Rose Bowlby
The floral wall hanging is based on a pattern by Melinda Bula. It is appliqued by machine, raw edge, thread painted, using batik fabrics. I finished it in December 2019.
The other is a scrap quilt made with leftovers from a bargello quilt I'd made some time ago. COVID prompted me to complete it. The design is mine, it is quilted by machine in the modern style.
28. Betty Murray
Red Button flower: Dollarama's selection of packages of buttons in red tones along with my thrift store finds added up to a sizable collection that led to the making of the flower petals that were than attached to a vintage piece of green velvet fabric.
Green Piece: A challenge was issued by the committee organizing what was to be the 2020 Piecemakers Quilt Show. The rules were short and simple - size - 20" X 20" - Colour - blue and or green - with - if wanted - one additional colour limited to ten percent. That's all.
Brown Rectangle: Brooches, necklaces, metal belts, bracelets, and a button brooch made many years ago by my sister found their way into this piece.
Clear Piece: Clear buttons and beads along with a few chandelier sparklers were used for this piece.
Small Silver/gold frame: Links from a metal belt were shaped to give some dimension to the flower shape.
29. Deb Owens
I made this quilt this spring for my nephew and his fiancé who were supposed to be married the end of May. It is a queen size about 92 x 96 inches.
They are postponing their wedding until next year but ended up buying a house instead so I gave it to them to enjoy.
30. Brenda Marshall
My two wall hangings - 20" square - were for the Piecemakers guild challenge - for the 2020 quilt show that never was! The rules were 20" square, had to be 90% green and blue, with only about 10% of another colour. I labelled mine "Sunrise" and "Hexies in my Garden".
The larger wall hanging - "Fiesta Time" - is from a pattern in a magazine "Australian Patchwork and Quilting." I had a gift certificate for Hyggeligt Fabric store and treated myself to some Kaffe Fassett fabric.
31. Lynn Danby
The pattern of the first quilt is called "Chunky Churndash" from Quiltville’s Quilts & Snips free patterns. A great way to use scraps.
The second quilt is called American Country from a Quilter Magazine 2008. I chose to call it "Canadian Country". The fabric spoke to me and represented all outdoor things I have experienced and loved. It is quilted all over in maple leaves.
The table topper is made with my cotton scraps and wool for the centre flowers and vines. I misplaced my book so I am unable to share the name of the book and the pattern.
Lynn Danby - Winter/ Christmas Quilts - I love Christmas fabric!
The first quilt I made with Toile fabric that I have had in my stash for years. I loved the print so much I bought it in 2 other colours. I made it up using the Snowball pattern.
For the next quilt, I dug deep into my old stash and turned this fabric into a pattern called "Chillin" from Fons & Porter easy quilts. I wanted to show my fabric off and not cut it up to much. It worked well.
The next quilt is all flannel. If you take a closer look you will see snowmen throughout it. I seemed to be drawn to Christmas and winter fabrics. The quilt pattern came from a book called The Weekend Quilt by Leslie Lindley. It is an Irish Chain pattern.
Next, is this Christmas toile fabric that I love. I have had this fabric in my stash for years and it was time to find the right pattern and get er done. After I made this I passed the book on to someone else.
This next one is a Bird Brain pattern. I love red work plus Christmas. Quilted by Karen Cole.
I call the next one a "Cancer Survivor Quilt" and it's for a family member. I loved the cute little Canadian Gnomes print. Best of all it is all flannel so it will be cozy. It is quilted with snow flakes throughout the quilt. It was pretty simple with large blocks so the fabric print stood out.
The last quilt, "Long Time Ago In Bethlehem", was a fun one to make. The pattern was taken from the Australian Homespun Magazine. I loved the whimsical blocks but I was not too fussy with how it was assembled so I changed it up. I am very happy with how it turned out. I took a closeup of four of the blocks to give a better view.

Lynn Danby - I bought this block of the month pattern years ago from Temecula Quilt Co in California. I had the pleasure of visiting the store while on holidays. I just got around to completing it this past year. The pattern is called "Fair and Square" in Country Weekend Patchwork Quilts book.
Next, Michelle Dunn from Kallisti Quilts came to speak at our TVQG some time ago and I bought these blocks. I finally got around to making up this top. Fun and colourful.
The next one was made using up my scraps. I am sorry but I have given the pattern away.

32. Margaret Comrie
I saw this quilt in a quilt shop window in Destin, Florida and when the lady said "I only have one kit left", I knew I had to have it. My husband delighted in taking a nail with a piece of string attached and a pencil on the end to make my circle pattern. The quilt has been hanging on the wall in my daughter's office at Stouffville Secondary School, but with her retirement, it came home.
33. Heather Hunter
"Shadow Box" Scrap Quilt - I recently made this is one from some of my scrap strips.
34. Carol Tracy
Although the inspiration came from Make A Quilt In A Day by Eleanor Burns, it took me way longer than a day - but that’s just me! When I received this fabric from a friend who was moving, I made her this log cabin lap quilt. It’s 56” square and hand tufted. The colours go perfectly with the family room in her new house.
35. Eleaner Noon
My desire to make and use sample and experimental blocks led to this quilt which I finished in May. After seeing Gypsy Wife quilts, I decided to combine blocks from previous projects with the samples to make this double sized quilt. I used coordinating colours and stripes to complete this "Gypsy Quilt".
36. Elizabeth White
Elizabeth White's quilt was made with pansy fabrics collected on her trips across Canada. It is a Maple B pattern for a 90 inch square quilt and is made for her grandson's wedding.
37. Trudy Bain
The quilt with the animals is called "Jungle Walk" by Harebrained Happenings and Karen Luo quilted it for me. The snowman table runner was made using the Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool and I quilted it myself.
38. Sharon Elston
I enjoyed trying wool appliqué for the first time.
39. Helen Palmer
The sporty t-shirt quilt was made specifically for a teenage boy. It was donated to Ronald McDonald House and was given to a boy undergoing extensive cancer treatments this Thanksgiving 2020.
I made the Scrappy Log Cabin lap quilt and it was long-arm quilted by Karen Luo.
40. Mary Rowland
First is Henny my chicken pin cushion.
"Wheelhouse Medallion" - I chose this project because of it’s beautiful colours and complex design. Perfect for Covid lockdown and cancer recovery. It’s 80 x 80”.
This quilt is paper pieced and appliquéd.
"Chance of Flurries" - Just in time for winter. Needs to be quilted.
"Trip Around the World" - There are 18 fabrics in 1” squares. It was fun to do.
"North Woods" - A panel is the Center of this one. It is ready to be quilted now that my big project is complete.
41. Ellen James
This tuffett was done with my Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I always wanted to do one.
The cat likes it too!
The quilt is for my granddaughter who is as colourful as the fabrics.
42. Debbie Wyant
These quilt projects are named as follows: "Window on the City", "Dino Lovers Quilt", "For the Unicorn Love in my Life", "Bursting Out", "Trail" of Jenny’s new Template, "Let’s Start Christmas", and "Through with the UFO's"
43. Liz Brown
I made my “Starry Night” quilt from a kit purchased at a quaint quilt store in Wisconsin (pre-COVID). I wrongly thought it would be a bit tricky, but it was a simple quilt to put together. It is backed with a black fabric with silver owls on it as it is going to a Harry Potter fan. I quilted it myself by crossing through then echoing the stars.
The second quilt I just finished for my neighbour who is booked for serious surgery in December. Picking six fabrics for the very scrappy “magic six”, it went together quickly. I quilted it with organic wavy lines using the acufeed foot on my new Janome Skyline 7, and backed it with a soft flannel for coziness.
I made the reversible table runner for my son and daughter-in-law. A new project for me and one I’ve always wanted to do. I used seasonal scraps for the Christmas side and a pattern for the pumpkin. I like the way it turned out. I’m not giving the next one away! I’m glad I discovered sewing as a hobby
44. Pauline Hutchison
Three seasonal projects – Two for Halloween and placemats in process for Christmas.
45. Libby Valeriani
The gold quilt was inspired by the fabric. I was in Value Village and saw a window curtain that was a lovely shiny fabric and I just knew it needed to be a quilt!
I named the purple and white quilt "Harlequin". The checkerboard diamond is floating on the quilted bubbles. The bubbles drift off the edges of the quilt and are not contained by the purple binding.
The next quilt is called "Pastel Ruffles" - such a girlie quilt!
All of these quilts are my own design and were quilted by me.
The pink and green piece is a fibre art piece. I think it sort of looks like a geode.
It is 10 x 10 inches.

The “Family” panel was purchased online at the beginning of the COVID lockdown. My married
daughter has ‘family’ tattooed on her wrist. I made it for her.
"Noah’s Ark" and "Whales" are baby quilts.
Table Quilt - The blue/beige quilt is for our kitchen table. I made it after our guest speaker Laura Coia asked our members how many ate on their quilts?
I thought it was time to do that.
47. Donna Sandy
I've had this fabric for a few years and kept looking for the right project. With Christmas around the corner I realized the colours were perfect for our son's girlfriend and she loves to be wrapped in a shawl to be warm. This will also keep her cozy through the coming winter.
48. Marlene Dunlap
Quilts for twin grandsons finally all done and on their beds. Sew fresh pattern.
Autumn table runner
Jewel Box Table Topper - I have a lap quilt sandwiched and ready for quilting
and this is the same table topper.
49. Laurie Palmer
This is Laurie's President's Challenge quilt combining both curves and a new colourway for her. She ended up cutting 560 curves BY HAND because her template didn't work properly. It took her most of a month at her cottage. Apparently the sewing went much faster!
50. Diana Maguire
"Be My Neighbour" Quilt
51. Deb Gorman-Smith
The quilt is one I made for a great-niece's sixth birthday from a unicorn panel and then did walking foot quilting on it. Each solid block has a different quilt pattern for interest.
The other is my finally finished project from Pat Palmer's One Block Wonder workshop a few years ago.
I am currently quilting a t-shirt quilt (my first) for our eldest son for Christmas.
52. Sharon Morgan-Hayward
I thought I would never get this “quilt-as-you-go” Christmas project finished but extra time during COVID did the trick!
53. Barbara Loomis
I have made three Queen sized quilts.
The first quilt “Holiday Dazzle" is a Christmas quilt that I made for my daughter's birthday.
The second quilt is "My COVID Quilt".
The third quilt is "Turquoise Twinkle".
I am also doing the mystery quilt which I am anxious to get sewing on and I have a grey one going that I would like to finish by Christmas. You can see that I have very little else to do with my time except sew, knit and unfortunately eat too much.
54. Susan McVittie
The first quilt is the one that Deb sent out the pattern for. This is made from 2 1/2 inch strips and I thought it would be a useful pattern as we spent a year trading this size at the guild. The pattern is called “Off Course”. I used all my scrappy brights. It is hand quilted using double threads and slightly larger stitches.
The second quilt is a “fractured nine-patch”. The pattern was from Diane Litowski at a guild workshop several years ago. This is all civil war reproduction fabrics that were left over when I finished my 11 year “Dear Jane” quilt. It was machine quilted by a friend.
55. Christine VanDyk
I have been quilting a lot during these times.
In March, I finished “The Whole World”, a wall hanging, 28”x 40” My own design. It’s machine quilted simply with “Stitch in The Ditch”. It includes fabrics from different countries we’ve have had the opportunity to visit.
Then I completed a 43”x 47” improv quilt from my scrap bins, “ WE are in this TOGETHER”.
It is hanging in the front window and I’ve had a lot of comments on it as neighbours are on their walks. The centre fabric is from Australia, an Aborigines design for community, and the other shapes also indicate togetherness, no matter where we are. On the back, I included a Canadian map that has the words from the CBC show: STRONGER TOGETHER/ TOUS ENSEMBLE.
The WIP quilt from last year “Lanterns Glow in the Dark” is 52”x 76”, a Christa Watson QAL, using up some of my Japanese fabrics from previous quilts.
It is hand stitched with kantha big-stitch.
I have many more because we haven’t done the travelling as in past years and I’m really trying to use fabrics from my curated collection. It seems as if my bits and pieces are reproducing during the night, because my bins are always full again.
56. Marg Hillis
This is my wall hanging that I started last Feb 2020 - it gave me a rewarding project during COVID and I have just finished in time for Christmas! I really wanted a religious themed wall hanging and I purchased the pattern online from Amazon. I wasn’t sure I could accomplish it with so much appliqué but I am thrilled.
57. Maureen & Mary Kirkland
Remembrance Day Quilt and label for Remembrance Day Quilt
"I Spy" by Maureen Kirkland, for her granddaughter Claire Dubet
"Hello World" by Cori Dantini, machine pieced by Maureen Kirkland, machine quilted by Pat Warr for her grandson Theo Dubet

59. Dorothy Maynard
The blue and white is a full bed size and hand quilted.
The triangle quilt is a baby sized quilt, machine quilted on my Janome.
The Celtic set of the tote, pouch, and coin purse are all machine quilted.
