Red Love

Hello watchers, followers and readers. (and stalkers!) I am sharing some red love with you today.
First is a quilt Meg made using up the leftover  fabric serviettes from her daughters wedding.

Simple straight lines seemed to work well on this quilt. Thanks Meg!

Next is a quilt Kerryn has been stitching away diligently on all year.

Bought as an unwanted kit, Kerryn had a great time stitching these Wendy Briggs stitcheries, she used Cottage Garden Thread.

Kerryn decided on diagonal lines going over her stitcheries, which has often been the traditional design chosen to quilt stitchery and redwork quilts.

I kept the quilting fairly low key around the stitcheries, swirling spirals. The same can't be said for the borders............those feathers are back!

I loved the backing fabric.....................printed log cabins! You can see the curved cross hatching I quilted in the four outer corners. This really shows up the custom quilting.

Isn't that backing amazing!!

One day you will see my finished version, here is my progress so far.

Next up is a lovely quilt Norma made to give as a gift.

I was asked to quilt an all over design in the middle, then something separate for the border.
I quilted meandering leaves..........................................

........................and some twirly feathers for the border.
The back......................................

Over on my Facebook page I often share sneak peeks of what I am quilting, I will leave you with the quilt I was working on today.
