Long time no see....


I'm so sorry, it's been such a long time since I posted. First up, I lost my iPhone which was hording lots of quilt photos then secondly my broadband has been down for at least two weeks and still isn't up to par. Throughout all of that it's been lambing time here on the farm with all that entails...


I'm hoping that my memory serves me well, I'm sure that this quilt is one pieced by Kevin at Fabric Focus in Edinburgh, quilted with a new design named Midsummer, there are stars, flowers, moons, pea pods and swirls, It's an open design that looks great on some of the more modern types of quilts.




Hazel's quilt is a special gift for her Grandson, we chose Seafoam and lovely swirling design with bubbles for this one, quilted with cream thread.



Linda's Sliding Stacked Coins quilt was calling out for a custom design, I freemotion, handguided feathers throughout the columns with a silver grey thread.



This quilt is a special commission for Talking Quilts, it's custom quilted with feathers and continuous curves inside of the blocks in cream and various other coloured threads as appropriate.




I'll be back in a bit with more quilt photos, I know I lost some photos on my phone that hadn't been backed up but only a few and I'm sure I should have other photos on my camera...



It was lovely to have this quilt home again after being away for 6 months in the US. Subtle Differences won a 3rd prize in the Traditional section in The World Quilt Show, New England, in August last year and has travelled around some of the Mancuso shows since then being exhibited in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Manchester, New England, California, and a few other shows, I'll look them up and edit ....
