Quilting for Janis

Hello Quilty Friends!

Just like that another month has gone. The weather has f-i-n-a-l-l-y turned cooler. 

As a winter loving girl I'm happy! 

There's something about lighting the fire, making a pot of soup &

 snuggling under a quilt that makes me very happy.

I wonder if after so many years in the making of the following quilt, Janis will be snuggling under it?

I told her not to wait years to get that binding on so she can safely enjoy the fruits of her labour!

Quilting for Jan, Raewyn & Kay

Hello Quilty Friends!

I'm back so soon because I'm a 'Fun-guy'....fungi 😀

I quilted these three AMAZING quilts in 2022. 

Due to Sue Spargo's rules, makers & long arm quilters were asked to withhold sharing any photos publicly until she had released the book to the general public.

Just like with "Forest for the Trees" & here & here quilts I have been sitting on photos!

While each quilt is the same, I like to quilt each one with it's own personality.

As a note, Jan, Raewyn & Kay all gave me artistic license.

I hope you enjoy the photo's as much as I enjoyed quilting these spectacular works of art.

In my spare time I continue to make quilts to list in my shop, here is my latest creation:

Faraway Galaxy Quilt

I had fun making this one, rummaging to find some interesting dark print fabrics to round the olive centre square. Once I got to the quilting part, I started to think it would be a fun quilt for a teen boy who likes Starwars, gaming or Sci-fi movies, what do you think?
