King David’s Crown


Sorry I haven’t posted for a little while, there has been an “issue preventing the post editor from loading for some users”.  I unfortunately was one of the 'some users'.  But it seems to be fixed now even though I have to load the photos a slightly different way.

I quilted this for Barb in 2008.  Barb is one of my favourite customers and has being bringing quilts to me for years now.  She makes beautiful quilts, often in reproduction fabrics.  But what I like best is that she likes to leave nice areas of plain fabric for the quilting.  Then she entrusts her quilt to me and lets me have fun with it.  As we both love feathers, it’s a match made in heaven.  Barb’s blog is – Love to Quilt.

This quilt is a Michelle Yeo design.  Michelle Yeo is a Melbourne based designer and teacher that makes beautiful quilts inspired by antique quilts.  To view her web site where she has her patterns click here.

I wanted to create something special for Barb in the diamonds, and was really happy with the result.  This quilt won second in the Custom Quilting category in the 2008 Vic Quilters Show.

    I love this quilt. I first saw it here http://quiltsonbastings.blogspot.com/2010/07/ribbon-for-king-davids-modern-crown.html last year and almost made my version of it at the time! Fun to see other people's interpretations of the same design :-)

    Thanks for your excellent work on my quilt Desley - it makes the quilt something to really enjoy. In fact, I thought my quilt looked 'pretty ordinary' until you quilted it!! As they say the quilting makes the quilt.
