Well, some of it has gone on quilting!! Now that would be surprise to some of you out there??? I don't think so :) The rest of the time... I think has just been eaten up by the ether! Anyway, the following pics are of some of the recent quilts that came along my way to be quilted. I hope you enjoy looking at them all and get some inspiration.
Kay's Starry Quilt
Various sizes of the same quilt pattern were used on the main part of the quilt.
Another one of Kay's beautiful quilts.
This colourful quilt was made by Kerry - one of her first! Great job Kerry.
The back shows the lotus flower pattern that was used.
Another of Kerry's quilts. Once again nice and bright and a job well done by Kerry.
One of my favourite patterns that fits so many quilts and suits being small in pattern size or large - the dragonfly and hummingbird pattern.
Jennifer's Bee quilt. Cute little rug for Jennifer's Grandson.
This quilt was made by Claire for her cousin in the UK who is going through a bout of treatment for cancer. Beautiful colours and pattern and well put together.
The pattern used for quilting was a hearty leaf.
This bargello by Trudy is a testimony to patience! Fabulously put together and the colours are superb.
A paper pieced hexagon quilt by Katrina. Custom quilted but kept simple so as not to take away from the piecing.
The border was quilted with a flower pattern to enhance the Flower Garden.
A cute lap quilt by Meagan. Very simple but very effective. Quilted with a feather pattern.
Another of Meagan's Lap quilts - this was done with chenille and cotton and quilted with tumbling teddies.
A Civil War quilt made by Lorraine - fabulous work as always Lorraine! Quilted with the baptist fan pattern.
This quilt came down from the country and is a real country looking quilt. Made by Sarah while waiting for her baby to come along into this world. It was quilted with a horses head pattern.
The back of the horse pattern quilt.
A colourful quilt by Therese for her unborn grandchild! What a wonderful colour and pattern for a baby. Once again, tumbling teddies in orange!
An Irish Chain quilt all sewn by hand and given to my friend who passed it on to be quilted. I used swirly feathers for this one.
The back is as usable as the front on the bed!
Another hexagon quilt made by Jean this time. Once again custom quilted in a simple manner.
This quilt took Katrina a while to make and a while to quilt! Custom lines round each block kept it simple but effective.
Jenny made this lovely bright quilt for her grandson. Just needs the eyes to be added and of course the binding!
His name is Domenic - which was quilted using one of the old fashioned alphabet patterns. (Close up of a couple of the letters)
Well folks, thats all for now - off to bed and early to rise! Gets the quilter in the mood to use her eyes! LOL
A customer wanted a black and white quilt for a new grandson and it just happened that the latest Homespun arrived with a pattern of a quilt that I thought would suit. This is Spinning Wheel Ride by Roslyn Mirrington of Bloom. I changed the pattern a little and the end result delighted the customer!
I quilted it with double spirals as a panto.
