Quilting for Juliet & Vanessa

Hello Quilty Friends!

Welcome back for a round of five woolen quilts that I recently custom quilted.

Juliet & Vanessa are friends in the same quilting group lead & tutored by Ngaire Brooks.

Two quilts are Ngaire's design, one made by Juliet, the other by Vanessa.

Then there are two Christmas quilts of the same design, again made by each women.

So with each quilt I did something a little different on each one to make them not identical.

The final quilt was made by Vanessa approximately Ten Years ago, one of Sue Spargo's earlier designs.

See if you can spot the little bugs in the first design.

The first two quilts are made by Juliet.

Over the past few months I have been knitting retro slippers for all my parents great grandchildren.

I used the same pattern my Mum use to use to knit for the family.

It might be time for me to knit myself some!

Keep safe & warm ( or cool if on the other side of the globe) & creative.

More customers quilts finished

Jill has been busy making table runners for Christmas presents. Jill is a newbee to quilting & is going great guns!

Five table runners, four with tea cups, one with roses. The tea cup runners I did simple straight lines & stipple, for the rose runner, I did scrolls & stipple.

This table runner is now ready to be trimmed for the binding, which Jill had me attach for her ready to hand stitch down.

Carol has also been busy making this next quilt for her daughter for Christmas. Jill made this quilt at a class at Grandmothers Garden with Ngaire Brookes.

Another lovely braid border that I quilted an orange peel design, in the cream border I broke the area up a bit with straight lines & a scroll/feather design. On the red ( not sure you can see that clearly) a curling ribbon.

I had the perfect stencil for the setting triangles.

Some of you might be thinking that I do a lot of sampler quilts....well you would be right! I am happy as I can explore new quilting ideas. I like each sampler block to be different, but have some continuity over the whole quilt. So for example, the curling ribbon I have used on the above block has also been used on the red border.

I used my favourite threads, Madeira polyneons & my up & coming new favourite, Gunold. I have bought quite a few new threads in the last few weeks to try.

The Christmas tree is up & decorated.....by me, my boys no longer think it is cool to get into the buzz of decorating for Christmas. Maybe I will take some photo's of what I did & blog about it. Maybe.......I have a new computer with a completely new operating system that is very different to what I am use to, so this post alone has taken a good couple of hours!!
