It's not a quilt until it's quilted!


Hello friends and readers in far away places, today I am sharing Norma's lovely Batik beauty. She has had this quilt top sitting finished for a spell, but as that saying goes: It's not a quilt until it's quilted".


A lovely simple quilt measuring 67" x 91" with such pretty colours much like the upcoming photo of a fabulous sunset!
Norma is not sure who she is giving this quilt to but wanted it quilted, wise women! She asked for all over quilting (edge to edge). I used the popular "Square Spirals" and a variegated AeroQuilt thread by Madeira.


My next quilt is a fabulous foundation pieced Zebra by a very clever New Zealand pattern designer, watchout for sneak peeks.
The last couple of days I have been out having a wee break from quilting, I was tramping to Cape Brett, which is north of Russell in the Bay of Islands. A seven hour tramp one way with such spectacular scenery, I just had to share some photo's with you.

That's me about to start off.

That's Cape Brett! We are heading to that end point.

Sunset on arrival.

Leaving the next morning looking back, the red 'square' is the roof of our accommodation

Cape Brett light house.

  3. Square Spirals is such a great panto-so versatile. That sure is spectacular scenery but a long tramp for just a one night stay.
