Quilting for Morag, Rachel & Veta

Hello Quilty Friends!

I write this while I wait for the little Trick or Treat people come knocking on our door.

It's always fun seeing all the cool costumes & the different levels of politeness!

I'm always polite & grateful when one of my customers trusts me to put the icing on their quilt & make it a quilt with long arm quilting.

Grab a comfy seat & take a look at my recent collaborations.

It's that time of the year in my garden. Spring is putting on a full show!

 Once upon a time gardening was my main passion before patchwork grabbed me by the ankles & pulled me under. Now I find myself grumbling when I'm working in the garden, I shouldn't I know, but I'd rather be sewing! But I do enjoy looking at our beautiful garden (maybe not the weeds!) & the native birds hanging out there too.

Here's a couple of photo's:

Thanks for stopping by.

Quilting for Christina, Emma, Leonie & Sonel

Hello Quilty Friends!

I can almost see the end of October, can you?

Geeze, soon there will be talk of Christmas! 

The Grinch lives at my house, so there's not much by the way of Christmas decorating.

 Spooky stuff talking about the "C" word. 

Lets talk quilts instead, that's far more interesting & less stressful.

Now if you've been hanging around me in any shape or form, you will know I LOVE LOVE to make quilts! But you know I can't keep them all. I give several to different charities, my family all has so many quilts made by me. So I make some to sell too.

Here are two new comers to my shop:

Dino Babies

Pickles

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!
