Monkey Business

Robby has only been quilting for about 12 months now and she continues to amaze me with her design choices. This is a quilt made for her middle aged friend who just loves monkeys .I love it. I quilted it with an all over design called monkey faces. Very appropriate. Another lovely quilt if a little bit cheeky Robby.LOL.

Custom quilting

I have had a run on e2e quilts lately but have a few custom quilts coming up. Here is the first of them. I have quilted this quilt several times before. Each customer wants it quilted the same as the others, which means I know wht I am going to do and cn just get into it. I do enjoy custom work occasionlly. I hope you enjoy seeing another one of these quilts, made from a kit brought from Quilters Bazaar Gisborne.

Starry,Starry,Night.

The yellow in this quilt really makes the stars pop. I think it would be really good in a larger size for a boys bed. It has been quilted in an overall swirly design to give the stars movement

This is another quilt made by a first timer. This time it has rustic applique on some of the blocks. I believe it is for her 12 year old granddaughter. I just know the little girl will love it. I have quilted it with an e2e design of butterflies and flowers.

oceanic

Here we have a quilt made from a panel of fbric by folklorica called oceania (I think).
I love the unusual shapes of the animals and flowers. This quilt has black batting to go with the black backing to prevent pokies. I quilted it with an all over design called under the sea.
