Blogger's Quilt Festival - A Walk In The Woods Quilt

I am once again participating in the Blogger's Quilt Festival organised by Amy of Amy's Creative Side from May 17 to May 31, 2013. The Blogger's Quilt Festival is an online quilt festival where bloggers from around the world showcase a quilt. Once you have had a look here, head on over and take some time viewing the other wonderful quilts.

 

This time, I am sharing a little baby quilt made by my customer Catherine. Catherine's quilt is a bright baby quilt made mainly from Aneela Hoey's range of A Walk In The Woods fabrics.

 

 

Catherine's quilt measures 38 x 42 inches and is going to be perfect for a friend's yet to be born baby girl.   I am sure it is going to be a much treasured quilt.  I have quilted it with one of my favourite designs - Daisies Galore - I do love the way the daisies stand out amongst the cute prints.

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed Catherine's quilt - remember to head on over to see many of the other wonderful quilts in the Blogger's Quilt Festival - enjoy!

"By My Hand" Quilt

"By My Hand" is a little quilt made by my customer Angela from the pattern by Brenda Riddle of Acorn Quilt & Gift Company.  Angela did a wonderful job with the piecing, applique and embroidery.

 

 

The quilting chosen was similar to the original quilt - I particularly love the feathers quilted around the letters.

 

 

This was a fun little quilt to work on - I hope Angela is as pleased with the results as I am.

Crosses Quilt

I have recently quilted and returned to Morag her modern Crosses Quilt.  From Morag's emails to me she sounds like she was thrilled with the results and I must say I was very excited also.

Morag's quilt is a spray of crosses in solid coloured fabrics across a white background with white borders of varying widths.  For the quilting we combined swirling traditional feathers with modern straight lines for the crosses and continuous curves for the background. 

I think the combination of traditional and modern quilting works beautifully on this quilt.

I love the way the feathers swirl from the borders into the body of the quilt to wind in amongst the crosses.

I hope you have enjoyed Morag's wonderful quilt.  Morag, I am sure it will look beautiful hanging in your new house.

Double Cream - a Sneak Peek

My current trapunto wholecloth quilt is on the machine - so far so good.

 

 

Hanging Lanterns Quilt

I have had a great time quilting Cherry's wonderful Hanging Lanterns Quilt.  The Hanging Lanterns Quilt is a pattern from Sarah Fielke's book Quilting:  from Little Things.  Cherry said that the making of her quilt has been a labour of love, spending so much time hand appliquéing that she couldn't face hand quilting it as well.  Cherry certainly did a wonderful job piecing the quilt and it was a pleasure to quilt. 

The quilting elements chosen were continuous curves on the dresden plate segments, loops in the blue background fabric and figure eights through the centres of the dresden plates.

 

 

 

Cherry has made this quilt for her young daughter - I am sure she will love it.  I certainly love the strawberry and chocolate colour combination on the blue background!

A Finished Jane Austen Quilt

Jenny's quilt is finished and I am thrilled with how this wonderful Jane Austen Quilt has turned out.  It may have sixty-four diamonds which have been quilted in sweltering Melbourne heat, but it has all been worthwhile.

 

Each of the diamonds has been quilted with curved cross-hatching.  The centre applique has been quilted with radiating straight lines to tie in with the straight lines in the setting diamonds.

 

 

The setting diamonds have been quilted with radiating lines which extend into the piano key border.

 

 



Enjoy your fabulous quilt Jenny!

On the Machine At the Moment - Jane Austen Quilt

I am busy quilting curved cross hatching on sixty-four Jane Austen diamonds! Only thirty-two to go ...  Pieced by my customer Jenny with incredible precision, it is a beautiful reproduction of the Jane Austen Quilt.  I will show you more once I have finished quilting it.

 

 

Wish me luck!
