Monsters and Rockets!


Yes friends this is a quilting blog, a place where you can stop by for a look at the lovely quilts I get to work on, so what on earth are monsters and rockets featuring here? Because they are quilts!


Debbie had many hours of fun making this cheery quilt for her grandson. A kit from Kids Quilts called "Monster Patch". Debbie asked for custom quilting.


          I used a mix of Madeira and Gunold threads and just turned on my machine and had fun!




                                               Check out the perfect border fabric!




                Now for the rocket quilt. Diane asked me to quilt an all over design (edge to edge).


It really is more of a Space quilt, the navy fabric features glow in the dark stars! Diane asked for a thread that just blends and doesn't really show on the front and a Silver Metallic thread on the back.



                       Diane bought a panel featuring a Nasa type Rocket for the backing.


                                  Diane also made this quilt for her grandson.
Thank you ladies, I am sure your young men will enjoy the quilts you lovingly made for them.

    I am loving that first quilt Leeanne with the monsters on it & the bright colours. Love how you have quilted it too. Am thinking my wee grandson would love something like that, it is such a boy thing.

    Each quilt is a beauty in its own way and two grandchildren are very happy now! And your quilting is superb as always!
