See my blog posts: here - here - here for just some of the quilts, there have been many quilty pleasures with Juliet over the years. She is such a talented designer.

Three Personal Finishes.................

I have been a happy quilter as I have managed to finish three of my own quilts! I know exciting right.
A friend reminded me of one quilt I hadn't shared here on my blog, although I have shared on my Instagram and Facebook pages, but I think there are some of you who only follow me here on my blog.

Quilt Information:

Pattern - Atomic Starburst by Violet Craft
Measurements - 72" x 76"
Batting - Wool.
Backing - Tula Pink.
Quilting - Custom Quilting.

This was the perfect quilt design to showcase Tula Pink's All Stars, PomPom's & Stripes fabric ranges. I used a Robert Kaufman white fabric called Animal Kingdom and Kona Solid in the colour Pea Pod.

Quilt Information:

Pattern - Mandolin Quilt - English Paper Piecing paper & pattern from Tales of Cloth
Measurements - 75" x 75"
Batting - Wool
Backing - Pieced from two vintage embroidered tablecloths and other fabrics.
Quilting - E2E Quilting - Soft & Sweet.
Threads - Glide.

I started this quilt in January 2018 as a sew along with Tales of Cloth. I had enormous amounts of fun choosing fabrics. I wanted an eclectic look which I created with the middle hexagon's from vintage linen's (yes I cut them up!) then just played with fabric from my stash.

look closely, what looks like all straight lines, there is a custom quilted block!

Quilt Information:

Pattern - Chic Picnic by Sew Kind of Wonderful.
Measurements - 79" x 79"
Batting - Wool/Polyester.
Backing - Pieced from two Alison Glass panels, two of her other fabrics and some word fabric.

Threads - Glide.

Another great pattern to showcase some scrumptious fabrics, this time a good selection of Alison Glass fabrics. Finished off with a flange binding.

For all my New Zealand readers wanting to have some E2E (all over ) Quilting on their quilt tops, this special is running until the end of the month. So it's not too late to pop your quilt tops in the post for some E2E Quilting.
