Blue Stars

Trish made my “Check Out the Stars” design for her daughter.  Her daughter asked for stars and blue, so I think Trish hit the mark with this one.

It was quilting with a freehand allover star and curl pattern.

If you would like to see my version of this quilt, I have made it twice, and there are pictures on the My Quilts page which you can access by the navigation bar above – they are quilts number 15 and 30.

Caesar’s Crown Quilt

This quilt was designed and made by Michelle Yeo, a local quilt teacher and designer. (This is my second post this week featuring a quilt designed by Michelle).

It was an absolute pleasure to quilt. As a quilter I liked that it had interesting shapes that I could incorporate feathers into. Plus I love the reproduction fabrics.

Ballaarat Beauties

This intricately pieced quilt was made by Judy as a project that she shared with a group of friends.  They would go away together and all work on their version of this quilt - inspiring and encouraging each other.  I have had the pleasure of quilting several others made by this group of friends.

The design is by Michelle Yeo.

Art Deco Quilt

What a striking quilt! Made by Ann as a present for her son, he picked the quilt from the book Design Art Deco Quilts by Don Linn.

Unfortunately the book didn’t have the pattern for this particular quilt in it. So Ann had to draft the entire quilt just from the picture. I think she did an amazing job.

Ann wanted the quilting as close as possible to how it was done in the book, and I really enjoyed working on a quilt so unusual.

The back is also lovely.

Marylebone Quilt

This gorgeous quilt was made by Sue as a present for her husband.  Her husband picked all the fabrics, and I think he did a fantastic job.

The quilt is designed by Sue Ambrose, a local patchwork teacher and designer.  I have had the pleasure of quilting a number of this design.

Sue chose to have my allover Feather Plume on the quilt which gives it a lovely texture, and shows up beautifully on the cream.

Feathers, Flowers and Embroidery

I have finished Janet Sansom’s latest embroidery quilt (the one where I showed pictures of how I designed the quilting in the pink ‘v’ last week – click here to see post).

I really enjoyed quilting this one, especially the creative challenge.

Athenaeum Theatre

A couple of weeks back Paul and I went to see DUMPED! The musical at the Athenaeum Theatre. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the ceiling to add to my collection.
