This beauty went home last week, and it is very obvious that I can't take a decent photo! The pinks and greens in this quilt were stunning and the simple piecing design needed simple quilting too, so as not to take over the quilt.</div>

Its been a while since I blogged, school holidays and quilts made by designers who would rather I not add pics to my blog mean slim pickings sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this beauty went home earlier this month and it is a design by <a href="http://www.kookaburracottagequilt.com.au/" target="_blank">Kookaburra Cottage Quilts</a> called Christmas Cards #148 (in the BOM section of the website if you're interested!).</div>

It is quilted freehand, in the centre of the quilt and I used 2 different fills behind the appliques in the blocks. <br />

This beauty went home this week, it is an original design by<a href="http://leighquilts.blogspot.com.au/p/cousin-wattle.html" target="_blank"> Leigh Latimore</a> of Port Macquare, and isn't it just lovely. It has lots of needleturn applique, rounded hexies, and scallops. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leonie, who made this lovely, has also put cording around the edge, (the blue), prior to adding the outside scallops. Very clever and beautifully done.</div>

It is quilted freehand with the aid of rulers and templates. Leonie said to "go for it" and that she liked more quilting than less, so this is the result. Feathers, feathers and more feathers, fill and some parallel lines, with a bit of cross hatching in the centre.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">PS I listen to audio books whilst I am quilting, and I can usually remember which book it was I was listening to when I see pictures later. This one was quilted to "The Ice Limit" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - if you're interested!!</span></div>

Another beauty which I have had the pleasure of watching being made during last year. My friend Eleanor made it for her sister, for a significant birthday, and we spent some time down at Bella Patchwork picking out the fabrics. I'm sure Del was pleased to see the end of us - we had blues and limes ALL over the shop....!</div>

I made this quilt using a pattern which my friend designed, called "Walk in the Garden", and used ten pin bowling themed fabrics. The theme fabrics came from <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/" target="_blank">Spoonflower</a> in the US, and they are great. I have just had another moment with them (Spoonflower, that is), with some Dr Who fabric to make another one for Terry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did have big ideas of making it myself, but I don't think my embroidery skills are up to scratch - check out the dress on the block above :). I bought the kit, and will sell it if someone wants to make this quilt themselves. I also have all the issues of the magazines with the designs in them. $180 plus postage. Let me know where you are and I'll give you a definite price on postage.</div>

I have quilted lots of these since the pattern was published by <a href="http://leanneshouse.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Leanne Beasley</a> as a BOM and I am alway impressed by the details in each of the little embroidered blocks. I am not an embroiderer, so the teeny weeny little stitches always look so lovely and I know there is heaps of work in them.<br />

I try not to do much quilting in the stitchery blocks as they are so delicate and the machine stitching would overpower some of the tiny blocks, but sometimes I need to put a wavy line in, especially when the block is bigger and needs some stabilising.</div>

This little beauty was made by Jane, is a design by Helen Stubbings of <a href="http://www.hugsnkisses.net/" target="_blank">Hugs 'n Kisse</a>s called "T'was the Night Before Christmas"; and while it is not very big, there is a lot of detail in the stitcheries and it has lots of little stars.</div>

With some ditching around the stitcheries to hold them down. I don't tend to do much in stitchery or applique blocks because the feature is the applique or stitcher, and my machine quilting doesn't need to overtake the design.</div>

This lovely belongs to Jane, and is a design by <a href="http://rosaliequinlandesigns.typepad.com/rosaliequinlandesigns/" target="_blank">Rosalie Quinlan</a> called Little Patchwork Village.<br />
<br />
I love all the little buildings in the stitcheries - especially this one, because who can resist a quilt shop? <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Well, actually my DS isn't keen, having retired from quilting, but he still gets the pleasure anyway. LOL. )</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMO9DQGkaMkQASXo1BLrbNTMdVvG259sO15Zt3TsEFsrS8Mgk8_lySN3PL6C3bmIvmCTjbUwYNkWO2mwDj1ThFiZjShdLQoHMtPAa51krQDENYH65fezRG6hM8l_IU6VbHYlINQaKGaYI/s1600/052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMO9DQGkaMkQASXo1BLrbNTMdVvG259sO15Zt3TsEFsrS8Mgk8_lySN3PL6C3bmIvmCTjbUwYNkWO2mwDj1ThFiZjShdLQoHMtPAa51krQDENYH65fezRG6hM8l_IU6VbHYlINQaKGaYI/s320/052.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, rather than treating each star block individually and then doing something separate in the sashings and borders, I had a little think and came up with this arrangement of quilting designs.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsflvYlUEPFw4gOuvKFpn1yvwFC_u96KgB-yZMGPm-KbnQsD23fzu5u8dGmwic_Tj4U2jioLwo1W-EzIMZr09_DtCrR0qH6gxEEtANKEliPpwVsREZmEftwPEFfD-xGXsDoTxb3lMEVXM/s1600/053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsflvYlUEPFw4gOuvKFpn1yvwFC_u96KgB-yZMGPm-KbnQsD23fzu5u8dGmwic_Tj4U2jioLwo1W-EzIMZr09_DtCrR0qH6gxEEtANKEliPpwVsREZmEftwPEFfD-xGXsDoTxb3lMEVXM/s320/053.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The feathered ovals were freehanded, using an oval template as the starting shape. The star points were also freehanded with a swirly continuous design.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLRkKRcOfA8bwGAVUvPBfprezAtMaez0rVvzr4rAvNZQF1nXlokFaPt-QZADCuASLJFNZU1TQo_a4mmn4USWWHFV7uLE9rHARpVr6Sqh9DGncb-V3vjFdRURFH3Z_Uu8A9uxzQn-zdFkk/s1600/049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLRkKRcOfA8bwGAVUvPBfprezAtMaez0rVvzr4rAvNZQF1nXlokFaPt-QZADCuASLJFNZU1TQo_a4mmn4USWWHFV7uLE9rHARpVr6Sqh9DGncb-V3vjFdRURFH3Z_Uu8A9uxzQn-zdFkk/s320/049.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The large flowery hearty design (called Nov hearts block by <a href="http://www.thequiltersquilter.com.au/" target="_blank">Joanne Knott</a>) then filled in the gaps, right to the edge of the quilt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like this arrangement, as the quilt itself is very simple, and too much quilting can overtake the little stitcheries, so this worked for me...and for Jane too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm off to finish a chocolate cake from this week's lesson, and so far the phone has rung when I was measuring out the cocoa, so some of that went on the floor; and our gas cooktop has a leak so I am cooking it on the BBQ, which seems to have man-turning-on instructions and gave me grief. After all of that, I hope it tastes OK. </div>

This lovely belongs to Niki, and is a design by Nancy Halvorsen of <a href="http://www.arttoheart.com/" target="_blank">Art to Heart</a>. It is out of her book 12 Days of Christmas. It is all hand appliqued, using black thread in the blanket stitch which really shows the details in the designs.<br />

The outside border was quilted using a design by <a href="http://www.kerynemmerson.com/" target="_blank">Keryn Emmerson</a> called Peyton Heart border. This was a huge plain cream border, and the design fitted the space perfectly. It is quilted with variegated purple Aurilux thread.</div>

I have really enjoyed quilting this quilt, and especially as I am making it myself. I had a lot of fun peering closely at the different designs to see what was coming up for my stitching pleasure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a design by Marg Sampson-George, called Fly Away with Me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMoYhYGZccaPN-DZtgn2pjNbwn_atfC6wIAHnT6QsQmGAq_AEzP8xxfBMDbqNzfC0V_CAFeZxUYo4bbGPiR7jUkvbBQEfDMFUJmVCxdJMdSn5NRxclR4Rx8SYH7g_1AMgyXvDHzI6LuQ0/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMoYhYGZccaPN-DZtgn2pjNbwn_atfC6wIAHnT6QsQmGAq_AEzP8xxfBMDbqNzfC0V_CAFeZxUYo4bbGPiR7jUkvbBQEfDMFUJmVCxdJMdSn5NRxclR4Rx8SYH7g_1AMgyXvDHzI6LuQ0/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quilted entirely freehand with rulers and templates. The outside borders have a simple curve in them so as not to detract from the beauty of those hexies. Scrummy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inside of the quilt has SID around the applique and some loose fill with the odd leafy shape thrown in for good measure.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what about this fabric as the backing? It also has a join right down the middle which I was hard pressed to find. Perfect choice.</div>

Sorry about the terrible colour in these pics, I couldn't manage a close up with the right colours. Obviously I can't use my camera properly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway this beauty was made by Marg for a family wedding. It is pieced both by hand and machine and hasn't she done a great job?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3uEqEhCeT4YYtpPVO2P7i12BGPtox4fRNXeD4OaT1CggqHLyVt5soqMZju0Sg20dT5oL8ymx-8dwnSO47laKjbRDBfcClNyFU3iPaxIwfIbyGkQYoCCkhpXmqQLRkve7EEbJZi1j8Kc/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3uEqEhCeT4YYtpPVO2P7i12BGPtox4fRNXeD4OaT1CggqHLyVt5soqMZju0Sg20dT5oL8ymx-8dwnSO47laKjbRDBfcClNyFU3iPaxIwfIbyGkQYoCCkhpXmqQLRkve7EEbJZi1j8Kc/s320/020.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quilted both freehand and on the Statler. The freehand is the SID and the continuous curve in the rings. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the navy sections I used 2 designs - the large design is by <a href="http://www.annebright.com/" target="_blank">Anne Bright</a> and is called dwr trellis vines; I'm not sure who designed the smaller pattern but it is a small circle design which fills the space perfectly.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used charcoal wadding in this quilt because it is so dark. The backing is a tie dye navy blue with hints of purple and pink in it.</div>
