Robyn posted this delightful clam shell quilt to me for custom quiling. Choosing wool/polyester blend batting, I used Glide thread in the colour 'warm grey'. Enjoy the photo's.....................
The backing.......................
Next is a sweet, fresh and rather funky quilt made by The Country Yard team. It's an Anni Downs Design called " The Story of my Day". If you look at some of the stitcheries they do capture snippets of my day and possibly our day too......................
Kerryn asked for the 'computer chip' quilting she had seen me quilt on other quilts then it was up to me to come up with something for the border, which if I'm honest had me stumped for awhile..........
But once I had SID around the appliqued pinwheels and 'boxed' them in the idea of soft wind tumbling the pinwheels came to me!
Kerryn asked for The Full Quiltmekiwi Binding Service.
You might enjoy a short video that travels over the quilt
Thank you Robyn and Kerryn for letting me loose on your lovely quilts, much appreciated.
Both beautiful quilts Leeanne ... love the fresh colours in the Ani Downs quilt. Yes a customer yesterday told me about the Festival of Quilts this weekend & I thought of you :-)
ReplyDeleteThe clamshell quilt is such a treat for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteLove the whimsical feel of "The Story of My Day". I would have been totally stumped by the border.
Both quilts are fabulous!! The clamshell is over the top gorgeous (I'm having a hard time believing I'm loving a quilt so much that only has a few fabrics in it) and the Days quilt is quite perfect, too.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous quilts Leeanne... I wondered how you'd tackle A Story of my Day - it looks great. And I adore the clamshell quilt, I love Robyn's fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteThe clamshell quilt is beautiful..I am motivated to get mine out now and get it finishex!! Love the stitcheries on the second quilt, it is very pretty. Enjoy the quilt show.
