Toby's quilt

This gorgeous quilt was made by Toby H and the photos don't really show how lovely the quilt actually is. The colours are very strong and contrasting, and the designs of the fabrics are stunning, especially the outside tree and bird border fabric and the red pompom designs. And the back is gorgeous too!

Anyway, it is quilted both freehand and on the statler using One Song Needle Arts designs.

On a sheep note my Lizzie is still going and is still eating although her front leg is very sore. They are forecasting more rain for this weekend, so I hope she is settled before that comes along.

See you later

Waratah quilt

This beauty was made by Ruthie a couple of years ago and whenever I come across it in my photo album I still love the pattern and the fabrics. Ruthie was my saviour when Harry was little as she was my day care mum and I was still working as an ambo, and she sometimes had very long days if I couldn't get away from work on time.

Anyway, we managed to corrupt her into some patchwork and I hope she is still doing it even though she is busy doing other things, and still being the super day care mum.

The quilting designs on this quilt came from The Quilter's Quilter, and it was stitched on my statler - no freehand this time.

Lots of feathers

This masterpiece went home last week to Deidre, after having the living daylights quilted out of it! It is very heavily quilted with lots of feathers and background fill. The applique is all done by hand, and there little bits of ribbon and braid mixed in with the stems. Beautifully made and it was a pleasure to quilt. The patterns are from a book by Pat Andreatta called "Heirloom Applique", 1985 and it was taught in a class with Tita Leach.

Thank you to everyone who commented and emailed me, I'm glad you enjoyed the first post. And, to Fairlie - here is the second post you thought I wouldn't write!

See you soon
