I've been busy....some photos for you!

Finally I have managed to get some quilts done! It seems no matter how much I 'want' to quilt, there is always something else that has priority....

In the last few weeks I have been spending ALOT of time drawing up designs and quilting this special quilt for a customer. It has been a huge job, but I think well worth it. It was on/off my machine a few times to enable classes, maintenance and other stuff to be done, but finally it is finished yeahhh!!!

During this time I also managed to get quite a few quilts completed on my other machine with the Intelliquilter. Here are a few photos, but I didn't take any of a couple of the quilts that were completed ....

This first one is actually 90" long and only 38" wide and is intended to be a tablecloth. I used a very flat 100% Matildas cotton as the batting, King Tut variagated on top & Bottom Line in the bobbin. It really only needed a simple panto so that is what it got! It is by Quilter's Niche and called More Doodling.

This sweet lap quilt called Rose Trellis also received a panto using the Intelliquilter. This time I used wool wadding with a little more loft to it, King Tut variegated thread on top & Bottom Line in the bobbin again. Panto was from One Song Needlearts called Villa Rose Panto. It was the first time I'd stitched this out & we both loved it!!

Lastly, this is one that has been partly done on my IQ and the rest freehand on the A1 machine. I used Masterpiece and Rasant (cotton wrapped poly) on the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin for this one along with wool wadding from Mini Jumbuck. The design is called Fairy Kisses (designed by my sister, Helen Stubbings of www.hugsnkisses.net) and made by a lovely, busy lady in Tasmania. Hope she likes it!! It was hard to show all the quilting but there are fairies in the four outer corners, flowers in the courthouse step blocks and also in the centre of the quilt as well. The gorgeous backing fabric is from www.widebacks.com.au and was just perfect for this quilt!
