Rosemary made this quilt 10 years ago, it has been having a gentle rest in the cupboard all this time, that is until Rosemary asked me to do some edge to edge quilting for her.
Rosemary's Round the World quilt measures 80" x 85" I quilted 'Feather Me' edge to edge pattern using Glides 'Maroon' thread.
The next photo is a good one for sharing the quilting pattern, it is a lovely flowing feathery pattern.
Last but not least, Loch's deer stalking quilt. Loch is a keen hunter and when he goes to his grandparents farm to spend time hunting and doing boys stuff his Mum Marcelle decided Loch needed a suitable quilt.
Measuring 67" x 78" Fantastico 'Walnut' thread, Loch chose cross hatching and his name quilted on the stag.
Thank you Rosemary, Marcelle and Loch.............enjoy your quilts!
On Sunday I headed out for a tramp exploring the Tangihua ranges. It's fairly rugged up there, lots of under and over fallen trees, walking along what's known as the 'razorback' - think very high, narrow and a sheer drop both sides! But the views are fabulous. Seven hours hard slog and all was enjoyable except for the wasp sting right at the end!
Always nice to finish a long-term UFO, whether it's our own or somebody else's! Love that hunter's quilt for Loch.
ReplyDeleteMust feel good to help people complete things from their cupboards that had been forgotten.
ReplyDeleteWow--that is quite a trek you took. I don't know how well I would do on the razorback. I don't do heights well, so unless the mountaintop is wide, I stay off. I do love the views from the top of our mountains, but I stick to the parts that are not narrow. You are much braver than I! : )
How wonderful to complete that quilt after 10 years. I am loving Lochs quilt - that stags head really pops out. The Mr would LoVe that quilt!!
ReplyDeleteNice finishes. Wow taht sounds like a wild tramp-would certainly blow the cobwebs out! Ouch wasp stings hurt.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have a finsih after 10 years. Beautiful quilting once again Leeanne. That tramp sounds like very hard work!!! What got up that wasps nose to sting you??
ReplyDeleteRosemary's quilt obviously enjoyed maturing in a dark place!
ReplyDeleteThere is hope for those unfinished WIP's... thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts. Shame about your stingy finish to your lovely tramp.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely quilts - very effective in their use of small squares! Sounds like a fun tramp - there are some great spots around aren't there?!
ReplyDeleteIt must take forever to put all those little squares together and straight, if I tried they would be wiggly for sure. Another gorgeous photo from your wanderings, glad you are enjoying it.
