not so traditional sampler
This stunning quilt was made by Jill, who was a student in a traditional sampler class held at The Country Yard. Some months back I quilted the shop sample, seen here ( Please click to enlarge photo's.)
This is a good example of a traditional quilt using not so traditional fabrics. The border fabric can be seen for something non quilty too, as seen here
If you are not sick of photo's there are a few close ups.
Because the border fabric is a dark purple paisley it was difficult to show the quilting I did, so here is a photo of the back.
It is sad the photo's never really do the quilt justice.
For a quilter who claims to have 'A Quilters Garden' I have done all right today, as I actually did some gardening! It is a lovely sunny day here in Northland New Zealand.
I hope what ever you are doing sun or not, that it makes you smile.

Girly quilt
I was battling the wind the day I took this photo, hence it not being square!
This quilt is made for a sample for The Country Yard , purely as inspiration for a lovely fabric range by Nancy Halvorsen called : " Curiosities" .
Using Madeira polyneon threads with a few simple quilting designs, has created a lovely row quilt perfect for a girl.

Some Kind of Wonderful!
Annie Downs design's the most yummiest quilts and here is one I recently quilted......."Some Kind of Wonderful".........with a slightly different look to Annie's original.
For the best viewing, click on the photo's.
A group effort for Aurely's 50th birthday. Aurely loves pink, & pastel's. Six friends each made a block they fancied. For a nice uniformed looked & using fabric we knew Aurely would like, we used Bunny Hill's range ~ "Puttin on the Ritz", with a touch of a green fabric. Most blocks were chosen from Annie's book, some were from other sources of inspiration. As one of Aurely's friends, rather than make a block I offered to do the quilting.
