Spinning Stars

Today we have a beautiful quilt called "spinning stars" I have custom quilted it using block designs called fleur flower from Joanne Knotts pattern club. See how the design curls around the Flying Geese blocks in the stars ? I love these designs they are sooo versatile.the sashings are a simple loopy border and stars in the cornerstones. Customer requested black thread. This quilt is 100" square. What a beauty!!

Almost Black and White

Almost black and white is the name for this beautifully handpieced dresden plate quilt After adding the rose border my customer realised that it is not black and white but black and cream hence the name.Esmae sows beautiful hand piecing and it is a pleasure to quilt for her. Even made the sufolk puffs. She wanted black thread on this one so I had to be careful not to quilt it too heavily.I believe it worked well.I love this quilt and it is the colours of my favourite football team.Come on the maggies(magpies).

Lonestar and Little Tailfeather

I have been busy quilting again and I forget to blog.
This is my first lonestar quilt. It was a huge job, but I love the way it turned out.This quilt top was handpieced.

This really cute little tailfeather quilt is available in kit form or as a block of the month from Quilters Bazaar in Gisborne.It was fun to do and I just love the fabrics

4 new quilts.

This georgous quilt was made to use up the border print. The quilter fell in love with it and wanted to make a quilt using it. It worked out nicely, I love it. It has been quilted with a design called simply roses in an all over design.

This blue and white dresden plate quilt is the first quilt made by this customer .It is for her own bed. My customer wanted an all over design of flowers not too loose. Bloomingdale by Anne Bright was just right. I had fun quilting this one

A pair of bears wallhangings. These 2 wallhangings were hand appliqued by the owner and then I crosshatched the background and did some freehand in the applique to make it pop. The quilter made one for herself and one for her friend.Arent they sooo cute?

Hello. I am sorry I have been quiet lately Ihave been quilting up a storm and genarally too tired to blog when I have finished for the evening. Lets see if i can make up for lost time.

This cute quilt made just for the maker herself because she loved the fabric. I had a design made to compliment the flowers and the cat at the customers request. I think it looks great.Don't you?

Four is a good measure.
