Lis and Hanne

It was such fun to quilt such lovely quilts,so beautifully stitched. Thank you ladies for entrusting me with your masterpieces I did enjoy working on them!

Gravity Quilt

This is an amazing Gravity quilt by Vibeke from Aarhus and I got the privilege of long arm quilting it for her, it is a very big queen/king size quilt beautifully pieced with fantastic colors.

Vibeke had some great ideas for the quilt and chose some wonderful designs.

We decided that it would be good to match the colours so I used three different grey tones and outlined each large diamond block.

Then colour for colour on each of the coloured diamond blocks and each block has a different design.

It was such a joy to work on, perfectly straight.

Atom Quilt

Its double sided quilt grey on one side and black on the other.

Its remarkable soft considering the amount of quilting on it, each design is individually quilted and hand finished so it took many many hours to complete.

IMG_8481

Its just a little bigger than a throw quilt and folds and rolls up to an easy to carry size.

Black and White

Abby

IMG_8638

My good friend Abby recently sent me a huge bundle of fabric and in among it I found  some black and white blocks some finished some just cut, I added a little of my own fabric and finished up the quilt.

IMG_8626

I quilted it with an all over flower design.

I used an amazing fabric for the back which adds even more drama.

IMG_8632

A totally fun finish and one I am going to keep for myself and will always think of Abby when I use it.

Picnic

IMG_8613

This is a fun little picnic quilt, its totally made out of scraps so not even the background white is not made from just one white. I used a lovely bright yellow with green dots that I found in a huge bag of fabric that my sister Susan gave me, (she hauled it up to Devon on the train from London believe me I don’t know how she did it I could hardly lift it!) for the backing and binding.

Its just a nice size to take to the beach or anywhere you just want to sit and stare at the sky.

I let a friend (you know who you are) practice her longarm quilting on it so there are a few issues with it but I don’t really mind as this quilt has sisterhood and friendship sewn into it.
