One for Christmas display.....


I quilted this quilt for my good friend Anne over at Frayed at the Edge . It's a special quilt to Anne as she was gifted the top on a visit to Australia earlier this year. Anne decided on light custom but I decided to quilt a little extra....we were both very happy with the results and I'm sure this quilt will have pride of place in Anne's home over the festive period......

I quilted feathers in the paler background fabrics and continuous curves in the blocks with feathers in the inner border and piano keys in the outer border.  Anne chose a lovely Moda fabric called Papillon in the red colourway, I used a gold coloured metro thread which looks metallic but isn't.  This quilt is the perfect size to drape over the back of your couch.

  11. Hi Kay, I was there when the quilt was gifted to Anne, and the gifter, Helen, is my dear friend! The quilt looks amazing - your workmanship is stunning! I know Helen is so pleased that this quilt top has received a new lease of life. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. Ooh, so exciting!

  12. Hi Kay I am Helen who gave the quilt to Anne. I had to laugh at your comment that you loved the "BIRD" border print!!! - that is the reason I gave the quilt top away as I hate bird fabric!! and its everywhere. My good friend Meredithe (who wrote the comment above) is always buying bird fabric - I think it is just to annoy me! You did a fantastic job with the quilting - the close ups are exquisite!!! I luv what you have done with it - and that it has gone to a good home with Anne. We had a lovely visit when she was in Australia fitted in with us perfectly - we really miss her!!!! Helen F
