Kookaburracottage quilt



Firstly welcome to September....also spring is here in New Zealand!



Thelma's daughter is new to appliqué, she made this quilt for her daughter & I got the pleasure of quilting it. I can tell you she did a great job too!

 The pattern is called "Playing with Angels" designed by Kookaburra Cottage Quilts
Border design


Lots of Madeira polyneon threads used & a few Gunold ones too.

do you like the feathers on the angel wings?
Button's will be attached for eyes etc. 





Last but not least the back, I wish I could have captured the lovely soft green.

This quilt is also by the same Designers......    & this one

Matilda's Station finished & a quilt airing....


Matilda's Station is all finished. Megan has made this for her daughters Christmas present, she had me sew the binding on too, so hopefully she will find some secret time to hand stitch the binding down.
There are buttons and embellishments to be added. Also the sheep have 'wool' (aka : stipple) that was added after the photo shoot. The chickens have feathers too!



Some photo's of different parts of the quilt follows......










back of the quilt



I have added a few 'eye spy' things to find, maybe if you click on the photo's you will see clearer?

It was quilt airing at the home of 'Quiltme' today.................

Birthdays, Charity and a special day.....

The following photo's are a quilt I made for my niece who is turning 21 in a few weeks. I made this quilt as leader and ender of a few months. My original inspiration came from Julie  when she was doing a 'string -A -long' that made me get a move on, so thank you Julie!
I used fabric foundations and all my scrappy strips. The setting was from an old book called :'Scrap Quilt' -strips and spiderwebs -by Marcia Lasher.
I made a scrappy backing and had fun doing a quick quilting job.
 Next to show you is a charity quilt I have recently finished quilting for the Round Robin group I belong to. At the beginning of the year we decided to make a quilt to give away to charity. Rather than make a block I volunteered to quilt the finished top, someone else put the blocks together and everyone else made a block and if you pop over here you will see some of us sewing the binding down.
As a group we have decided to donate the quilt to Project Promise it is a local organisation. We will have this quilt plus another on display and for sale at The Country Yard's Annual Exhibtion  this Saturday.









Next is a wee peep of something I have just finished and will be on show this Saturday also.......
