Sampler quilt

Hi I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year as I have,but now I am back to work.
Here is another great sampler quilt .It is huge 94" x 96" if my memory serves me correctly. Beautifully pieced in a beginners class at Quilters Bazaar. Quilted in an all over design as requested by the owner.

Another quilt by Jenny

Jenny has been very busy finishing up Christmas presents and here is another one. This is a sampler quilt also done in a group with about 10 other ladies.I must be clear here each lady made her own quilt top. I have posted some of them earlier. I love the colour choices Jenny made in this quilt the finished quilt is lovely. Congratulations Jenny Quilted with an all over design by Anne Bright.

29 fat quarter quilt

Jenny and a group of fellow quilters decided to make this lovely quilt. Each one looks so different with the fabrics chosen. Jenny made this one for her grandson. I love the fossil fern fabrics she chose. The photo does not do the colours justice,and it is a really nice quilt for a young man. I quilted it with maple leaves all over design. Another great finish for you Jenny.

Oceanica quilt

Hi, I hope you had a great New Years Eve last night .I went out to a local Highland Society club with some friends for dinner and a show. They even had the piping in of the haggis.

Well now down to more quilty things.
We have pictured here a quilt made using the Oceanica range of fabrics. The fabric panel is quirky and I love it. this quilt is for a boy so I quilted fish all over it. Isn't it great?

hearts aflutter

My customer made this for a little girl in her life. She made it nice and bright and colourful then had it quilted with hearts. It is a very happy quilt for a little girl.

Music to my ears.

The ownr of this quilt loves asian fabrics and music,so she combined both types of fabric in this cute wall hanging - or bedtopper- for herself. I used gold thread to make the quilting pop, and another design by Kim Diamond.

Fat Quarters.

Here we have a beautiful fat quarter quilt made using the "Rural Jardin" range available from Quilters Bazaar. I used a really beautiful e2e design called lovebirds from the Keryn Emmerson Kitchen Sink Club. I will use this design often.I am very impressed with this quilt.

Oriental influence.

Today we have a lovely quilt made by Leanne for her nephew. Leanne used oriental fabrics with maple leaves dominating the fabrics so I used a maple lef design to quilt it. This is very suitable for a male. Nice job Leanne.

Unusual Quilt

I think this quilt was made using a Jelly Roll But can't swear to it. It would make a great scrappy quilt wouldn't it? I had fun quilting this with a nice scrolly,swirly design It suited this quilt well.

Footy anyone?

MyFor all the overseas visitors to my blog I would like to say hello and welcome. This quilt represents one of our Australian Rules Football Clubs called Hawthorne.The Hawks for short. My customers husband is a sign writer and drew up he central applique. It is very realistic Her son will just love this quilt for sure. I did an all over design of footballs and what looks like flames but I trimmed out the centre medallion and outline quilted the hawks head and did sunray lines behind as a background fill. As a Collingwood supporter I have to say this quilt is very ,very nice.

This back view is of my next quilt it is stars and horseshoes.

Motorcycles anyone?

This dear customer had he 80something birthday(it is a secret how old) on Thursdayand is still making quilts This one is for her great grand son, who is 3. I quilted it with an all over design of motorbikes and swirls. Pat does a wonderful job.

I love the backing fabric.

Country Mouse

Kim Diamond from "Sweet Dreams Quilt Studio" designed this cute quilting design for me for just this type of quilt. The design is called "Country Mouse" and has a doormouse,a squirrell, and a rabbit standing in clothes.It is sooo cute. I will be able to use this design quite a bit.
