back to work.....................



First customer quilt of the year.



Lois made this for her young friend who has just had a baby boy. I did very simple quilting, meander & a few straight lines using cream bobbin fill top & bottom.

Next quilt is also a baby quilt, made by a new customer Sue.





Again, fairly simple quilting, meander, some swirls, writing,  these quilts will no doubt spend some of their life in the washing machine, no sense doing fancy custom quilting.
Sue supplied a soft blue minky for the backing.


Next on the list is one from a regular customer, Ngaire............



A simple nine patch with appliqued butterflies. I used Madeira poly neon threads, a really nice variegated on for the cross hatch & loopy meander.

Before I head off to continue with the next quilt, I thought I would share with you the last Advent swap present I gave Dawn.




I made a Trapunto table runner, Dawn said she loved it, I am happy that she did. I must make myself one, I tend to give them away!

    Beautiful quilting on all of them.
    Love the trapunto runner too - I follow a couple of overseas quilters who do this lovely work.
    Just a dream from where I'm at... one day but just baby steps at the mo!
    All very inspiring.

  7. The table runner is gorgeous. Lovely quilts from your customers. I think a simple meander is so effective on lots of quilts.
