ABOUT ME

My name is Debbie MacLeod and I live in the beautiful hamlet of Island Lake, Alberta, Canada.  I have been quilting for about 17 years and machine quilting for others since 2001.  I love machine quilting much more than piecing - so I can't wait to finish a project, so I can quilt it!

I started machine quilting on my Husqvarna and soon found that I became tired of fighting with quilts under the short arm.  I bought a Brother 1500 and a handiquilter frame and quilted with those for about two years.  A lot bigger area but still not what I wanted.

I was very fortunate to work at a Local Quilt Store  in Calgary using a Gammilll Long Arm for about a year - that is when I decided to purchase a machine of my own.  I wanted something smaller and lighter than what I had been using and so I purchased an HQ 16, which I truly love.  The machine is stitch regulated, ensuring a wonderful even stitch, and allows me to be as creative as I want.  

My style of custom, freehand quilting will enchance your quilting project.  I rarely use pantographs or patterns, and prefer to interpret your quilt with a freehand design that will compliment your work; therefore each machine quilting project is as unique as you are!  

In 2008, I made a decision to add  a selection of pantograph style patterns and this was a result of customer demand.  Now I can offer a wide range of quilting styles and pricing - ultimately that makes for happy customers!
