Quilting update!

Looking back over the last few blog posts, you could be forgiven for thinking there was not much quilting happening here. So it must be time for a post just to let you know that Max has been working in between all the other activities.

First up is a quilt made by Marie for her granddaughter, who wanted purple! Marie did not have a lot of that colour in her stash, so used it as an excuse for some retail therapy. This is a disappearing nine patch quilt, and Marie started out with 10" squares, so it was quickly sewn together. I quilted this allover with a pattern called "A tisket, a tasket".

 

Robyn has just started patchwork and made 2 jelly roll quilts using the same range of fabrics. They both had the same backing and charcoal wadding which was all in one piece. I loaded the backing and both quilts fitted on the frame lengthwise, which meant I only had to pin once. I took the photo while they were on the frame and they were both quilted allover with "Florale". 

This is Sue's Starry Path quilt, cut out on the Go Cutter die of the same name. The quilt was made for her son, and was quilted allover with "Bubble Play", which gave it a lovely texture.

Pat made this Casa Felix quilt, which was one of the Quilters Guild of SA Mystery quilts of 2020 and designed by Chris O'Brien. William Morris fabrics featured in the quilt and it was quilted edge to edge with a pattern called Tapestry.

Erica made the next 2 quilts and the first is her Steps quilt that is for a child and was quilted allover with ABC's and loops.

This 1933 quilt was made with 1930's fabrics and was quilted allover with a pattern called '30's Flowers'.

Marree made this quilt using a jelly roll for a friend's 50th birthday gift. It was quilted allover with a Leaves pattern.

Another quilt made by Pat, and another one cut using the Go Cutter. This is Cleopatra's Fan and made using fabrics that Pat purchased on our US trip in 2018. It was custom quilted.

Helen is the group's scrap guru, and loves the challenge of using up all the little pieces that "some" of us would throw out. What a great quilt this has turned out to be. Just shows that someone's trash is another person's treasure!

                            Can you see that even some of the cornerstones are made using teeny, tiny bits!

           It was quilted allover with a pattern called Stars and loops, and even the backing is pieced.

That's my quilt catchup post now done, so better get back to the job at hand, which is sorting out fabrics for kits and getting the Go Cutter out to tame drawers of scraps! Quilting will wait now until another of Marie's quilts has talked to me.

It is already Thursday afternoon, and tomorrow I will be "going" to a wedding online. The face is getting very red and sore now, and I am at the half way mark. Am expecting a special visitor to arrive in a couple of days, so probably better think about food, and I know there are good supplies on hand, so that shouldn't be too hard.

Catch ya'll next time.
