Churn Dash

I love the colour contrast of purple and beige, who would have thought of such a combination? Doreen did! Quilts which have blocks set on point, or diagonal set often come with their own unique set of problems. This one was no exception, I struggled to tame the fullness in the blocks, much starch, steam and cursing was had, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Quilted with khaki sand thread and 'crystal maize computerised quilting design. I hope Doreen was happy with the finished quilt, it went home with that crinkly old fashioned look.... 

Five pantos...

A USA Wedding, Double Wedding Ring quilt...

I recently had the pleasure of quilting this beautiful hand pieced Double Wedding Ring quilt.
Bridget made this quilt as a wedding gift for her Son and his new wife, the deed is already done but the actual celebrations will take place in early May is America.

Bridget requested simple but custom quilting similar to a quilt I had already made myself (Circles of Life) and gifted in 2018. This quilt will already be jetting of to the USA with the family for the wedding.
