Customer's Quilt

Just love seeing customer's quilts come in and go out.

They are all so different and on lots occasions...inspiring.

I also love trying to match fabric with a stitching pattern that I have.

Here is a block in the quilt, that was duplicated in various colours:

and here is the stitch I used .... this is the back of the quilt, as the stitching shows up better.

Perfect!

Until next post...

Another Christmas Quilt

Mum & I have been churning out the quilts lately.

Here is a Christmas Quilt ready for sale.

 It is 46" x 58.5"

Another panel to which borders have been added.

I manage to get some of my quilts quilted AFTER I have finished the customer's quilts.

Until next post...

2 more quilts finished

Firstly...

a Mum & Me Quilt

...using ALL Christmas fabric...called "Stacked Coins".
This was started in June last year.
(As you can see...straight sewing for Mum!)
It is a large quilt measuring 77" x 85"

 The close up shows the "Jingle Bells" stitching

and the backing is fabric I have had for YEARS and never knew what to do with it:

Now the other quilt:

the "CHEAT'S" quilt...56" x 66"
I saw this "panel"on the wall in a quilt shop in the States last June and asked to buy it, only to be told it was not for sale.... In the States (probably here too) a quilt is designed by using a range of fabrics, then the finished quilt is photographed and scanned onto a 60" wide cloth , then sent to the fabric shops, along with the pattern. I did some heavy grovelling (and heavy spending!) and eventually the lady agreed to sell it to me after 6 months...so at Christmas time the shop in the States contacted me & told me she bought a new one for me as her sample was no longer suitable to sell.

 even the stitching I used has Cowboy Boots & Hats!

I am REAL happy on how it turned out.

Until next post...
