In the Red....

Catching up again, I had a run of red quilts.....although my camera is refusing to show the true colours. My trusted to do the right thing camera is at the moment unreliable so am having to fall back on a previous purchase.....not the same.....

My lovely customer Anna sent me these beauties....

A smaller topper or lap quilt with a star centre....... lovely colours and fabrics.....custom quilted....

Another with strips, another beauty..... this time edge to edge quilting with a Surf pantograph.....

Lastly a beautiful improvised star quilt, again custom quilting using both freemotion and Quilt Path motifs.

All are beautiful Anna.....

Although this quilt isn't strictly red, in real life it shows more red, it does have a red border and it was made for the Ruby Wedding Anniversary of Linda and her husband...All kinds of everything in this quilt just like life......

A wonderful tribute to forty years of marriage.....

Moving right along....

I've had to put a hold on some of my own entertainment, pressure of work and all that. I did however manage to finish up my second Needlestar block Paula Nadelstern style.

I have also been playing with these blocks and now just have the borders to add....it's a big one, my design wall is otherwise occupied and the vacant floorspace isn't big enough.  I'm nearly done but who knows when it will be quilted...into the queue with all the others it goes....

I've been working on another deadline, but that is nearing completion and will be unveiled in the new year. So, following are a few customer quilts....

 The first is a soduko quilt hand pieced by Jean and quilted with wildflower edge to edge....

Another two for another Jeans Grandsons, quilted with Surf, such a wonderful design it looks great on a variety of quilts...

And while we still have a few leaves swirling around this is a fabulous autumnal quilt by Barbara quilted with 'botanical garden', love the purples, reds and oranges all together....

On Friday at Borderland Fabrics, Jedburgh, I was lucky enough to win four batik quilt tops in a Silent Charity Auction to raise funds for a young man to enable him to take part in Disabled games in Poland....I got ready made hand pieced quilt tops and Margaret raised some funds for her Grandson, good job all around...

We had a little 'Cheese and Wine' party while waiting for the count down to see who had won the fabrics...

Sneak peak of what's on my frame just now....I'll be gone awhile.....#Stonefields

Some customer quilts, It's been a while....

It's been a while since I posted any customer quilts, there have been a few, if I missed taking photos of yours it's just because life can be a little hectic sometimes, there is a lot to fit in.

If you have finished your quilt and have it bound you can always send me a photo and I'll include it on a future blog post...

This is a supersized king, all log cabins in pink and cream, Morag added appliqued freeform flowers to add a little interest. The edge to edge done with Quilt Path is Florence, it flows nicely with leaves and swirls with a cream Metro thread.

 This is another huge quilt, my customer Diane chose Happy Times with a white thread, lovely turquoise, pinks and a soft green, destined for a gift that was greatly appreciated. This photo was taken by Diane after the quilt was bound and gifted.

Vivid greens and browns with cracked ice type prints for this stunner. Liz chose Chocolated Leaves by One Song Needle Arts for the edge to edge or pantograph design. Glide thread in Linen in the needle and Glide gold in the bobbin.

I'll be back soon with more updates.....
