FOUR Tradewinds Quilts!

Hello Quilty Friends!

WARNING......these quilts might make you feel crossed eye, wobbly or even wondering if you've been smoking magic mushrooms! Same quilts, just slight variations.

It seems like light years ago I quilted these. Raewyn's one was quilted in May 2023!

 They had to remain a deep dark secret until Sue Spargo released this design to the public. 

I tried to quilt each one a little differently. See if you can spot the differences.

So here are Janine, Kay, Raewyn & Sherrill's gorgeous Tradewind quilts.

Janine personalised her quilt slightly to gift for her daughter that is a diver.

How many differences did you spot? 

I was told by these AMAZING creators that some of the hand embroidery stitches take two hours for each type of  embroidery, can you imagine just HOW LONG these quilts take to create? 

I know it takes me a long time to quilt each one.

Thank you Janine, Kay, Raewyn & Sherrill for letting me loose on your quilts!

Quilting for Julie, Linda and a Quilt Gift!

Hello Quilty Friends!

My last post was in August, it's nearly October!

Where the heck have I been & what have I been doing?

I've been quilting, making stuff & I popped away for a week to visit with my motley crew!

The first quilt I'm sharing is not a quilt - 

it's quilted bag batting ready for my customer Julie to take to Symposium 2024 next week for classes.

Then there is Linda's amazing quilt - yes it's a quilt!

Anyway, you are here to look, not read my woffle!

Quilt Information:

Pattern - Pieces for bag making.

Measurements - 44"x 40" x two pieces on one backing fabric.

Quilting - E2E Quilting - Larkspur & Overlapping Crop Circles.

Batting - Supplied by customer.

Backing - Supplied by customer.

Threads - Glide - Mocha.

My 'road map' - this is how I planned my design and how I kept track of where I was.

Quilt Information:

Pattern - Alaska by Laundry Basket Quilts.

Measurements - 82"x 82"

Quilting - Custom Quilting.

Batting - Cotton - Purchased from me.

Backing - Supplied by customer.

Threads - Glide - Linen & Ocean.

All Ruler work, Freemotion quilting, with the exception of the centre star & eight blue stars - 

that's a digital design from My Creative Stitches.

The following quilt is one I made for my dear friend's new granddaughter. The colours were curated from a photo my friend sent me when her daughter first conceived. These are the colours she loves. Of course when I heard she was having a girl I wanted to make another quilt in pink! 

Call me old fashioned! I knitted a couple of items & one of those is pink!

 

 I recently meet up with my family to surprise my grandson for his birthday. Nearly all the family arrived. That & the look on my grandsons face was priceless! We hung out with all the kids, big & small. A visit to an amazing zoo was also a highlight.

Thanks for stopping by!
