Two'Charm' ing quilts and a Raffle Quilt


Happy Monday quilt fans! Today I have the pleasure of sharing three quilts. First up is Joan's William Morris charm pack quilt. Joan asked for edge to edge quilting, but as there is a sweet little peeper on the inner border, I suggested edge to edge for the middle of the quilt then a custom swirl for the border. Joan was happy.


Next is Levonne's charm pack quilt. Levonne wanted echoed squares on each charm and stipple on the border. I loved the backing fabric!




Thank you Joan and Levonne. Next is one of the quilts to be raffled at Whangarei Quilt Guild Bi annual exhibition. The pattern used is a Jewel Quilt. I had a bit of fun custom quilting this one.






How about renaming it the Sapphire Quilt! One last photo of the back. If you are in Whangarei on the 27th - 29th April pop along to the show and grab a ticket or two :-)

Autumn leaves

So I went to retreat Friday afternoon & came home Saturday afternoon.......what a party pooper I am!! I went along feeling a bit of a cold coming on but with all the excitement of a 'once a year retreat' I thought 'she'll be right'!! Well as the evening progressed I felt worse, my poor roomies, listening to me blow my nose every few moments, still they can't have been too disturbed as I heard each one having turns at putting out musical notes! (AKA....snoring! very feminine snoring I might say. ) When you are feeling like this sometimes the only place you you feel better is at home.

I did get some done & finished this afternoon when I had put my studio back in order. So here it is. A layer cake from Brannock & Patek called "Remembrance". Quilt pattern from: "Layer Cake & Jelly Roll & Charm Quilts". by Pam & Nicky Lintott. Simple quilt, no waste of fabric, now it just needs to be quilted!................Add it to the pile Leeanne!..................
this is the layout I chose at retreat

.
This is the finished top.........nice don't ya think?
 This is the me getting fancy/ showing off photo! I might give this to my Brother for his birthday or my Dad.
Here is a line up of one side of the hall, good advertising for SewEzi tables & Bernina don't you think?
Ok back to work stuff. This is a quilt I finished for the Whangarei Patchwork & Quilters club. I understand Fiona made & donated this to the club & had me quilt it. The quilt called ' Road to St Louis' (?) will be 2nd prize at the clubs exhibition in August.


  Sharing a couple more blocks of Angel Story.
Of course these could all do with a darn good press & trim.................happy days!
Wishing you all a free breathing nose!
