Double Wedding Ring

I had the pleasure of quilting this lovely hand pieced double wedding ring quilt between Christmas and the first week of January. My customer wanted roses,so I used the Carmens roses set from One song needle art.It looks stunning.

Beautiful Bears

My customer embroidered these cute bears on her embroidery machine., then combined the blocks with plain blocks and borders for a new baby in her life. I quilted the plain blocks with a new design by Joanne knott of the Quilters Quilter. The trimmed background in the bear blocks is a design by Anita Shackleton. A very pretty cot quilt for a new baby.The binding was sewn on while still on the frame.

Fairies for Saffron

My customer made this georgous quilt for her granddaughter Saffron, from a book purchased at Quilters Bazaar. She couldn't help herself and added more applique and stitching and ended up with this beauty. I hope my quilting does it justice.The borders and background 2" squares are quilted using the statler and a fairy design by Anne Bright. Then I took the belts off and freehanded the blocks. It was lots of fun to do. The recipient of this quilt is one verrrry lucky little fairy princess. It is a shame I did not get a good photo of the whole quilt.

Asian Influence.

My customer visited a taylor in Vietnam and they gave her some scraps of silk. Carol has used them to make outfits for many different asian figures.They look awesome. I quilted it with an edge 2 edge design called Bamboo Butterfly by Kim Diamond. I trimmed out the cream blocks with the figures in them and used a background fill with trim by Anita Shackleton.This quilt is for one very lucky little granddaughter.

Oops !! this back view is for the next quilt to view. I am not very good at this blogging yet.LOL

Christmas is Nigh!!

These lovely table runners along with 2 more have been made by a lovely customer of mine. She is in her 80's and has macula degeneration ,so I don't know if she will be quilting at this time next year. I dearly hope so. Anyway she has made thes for her children and her neighbour who looks after her animals when she is away. I did a Holly berry panto on them and trimmed out the centre blocks and customed around the applique centres. What a lovely memory for her family to keep.

1930's daisy quilt

Today I have another hand pieced and appliqued quilt by Esmae. This time using 1930's fabrics. It is a lovely fresh looking quilt that reminds me of spring. I Trimmed out the applique, outlined around them to make them pop, and used a double line background fill. I used a Kim Diamond feather in the white border and an Anne bright flower border on the piano key border. I know I say it all the time but I really like this quilt.

1930'0 nine patch

today I have some photos of a quilt made with 1930's fabrics I custom quilted the white blocks with a block design called double heart block by Joanne Knott of " Its a Quilt Thing". the 9 patches have point to point curves and the borders were a feather design. I loved the way the quilting worked on this .I hope you like it too.

Grandmothers Flower Garden

I hsve just finished quilting this lovely Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt for my customer. It has been quilted the same as in the book provided. I think it looks very nice. the fabric choices were terrific and I love the quilt.

Sunbonnet Sue

I have just finished this lovely sunbonnet Sue for my customer. I used lovely Anne bright deigns in the borders and sashings.In the blocks I took off the belts and freemotion quilted ,grass,flowers,bushes sun rain,clouds,butterflies and even cows to name but a few things. I used mostly clear monofilament thread in the top as there would have been too many thread changes. It was fun to do and customer is delighted .This is for her granddaughter.

Samsara Spin

Here is a georgous quilt called Samsara Spin.Named for the range of fabric called Samsara. It is a stack n wack quilt=wall hanging. I used a set by Kathy Olsen to quilt the blocks.A paisley triangle block and border by Kim Diamond. Red thread on the black back looks stunning.Customer made labels using broderie purse flowers from the left over fabric. Very effective.

Bluebird of Hope

Here is another Quilt aid Quilt from last year with a different finishing kit.I used a feather block that looked like feather triangles in each of the pieced blocks so the applique looks like it is framed in feathers. The applique blocks were all individually quilted with the belts off using different background fills and outlining and frames.This is a beautiful quilt and will be a gift for a very special friend of the quilter.
