Amazing quilts

This quilt by Terry of And Sew It Goes–first it made my jaw drop; then it made me itch to run to my studio and applique and embroider like crazy. The 15″ x 35″ fire quilt is an en…

As I type this, the great movie "How to Make an American Quilt" is playing on the TV which is appropriate as I stitch quickly to finish my Twisted Hexagons quilt for the Canberra Quilters Exhibition. I got my quilt back from the longarm quilter a few weeks ago, and then spent over a week agonising. Raylee did a brilliant job on the quilting, however I didn't think through those pointy side bits very well. I mean, I only had seven years to think it over. A night of practicing a different…

I’ve just spent the past two hours trying to set up some kind of graduated layout using the 2″ squares I cut from the jellyroll I bought from Whims. Not an easy task I discovered –…

Wander into any quilt store today and you’ll see aisles and aisles bursting with a rainbow of fabrics – and the hardest part will be deciding which prints to bring home. In the presence of so many amazing patterns and products, it’s hard to remember that quilting has a surprisingly thrifty background. Some of history’s most amazing quilts are rendered from the leftovers from other projects.

I am in love with this quilt! It's bright rich colours and dimension just make it come alive. It's actually more like a piece of art than a quilt. The pattern is called Pretty Pyramid and is made using a graduated fabric. Each piece cut out to make the pyramids create an optical illusion. Here you can see the triangle pieced before it is quilted. Hoary for my customer she did an amazing job piecing together all of those tricky Y seams. For the quilting I stitched in the ditch around all of…

I finally finished a quilt!!! Do you remember this quilt top? I finished the top about a year ago. This summer I finally got the back put together, and sent it off to the local quilter. A week ago, I got it back and immediately got to work on the binding (it's my favorite part, eek!). On Saturday, I took it to my moms house (she will be fostering the quilt for me), and we got some quick pictures outside before the rain came in. The weather has started to cool here, and the trees are changing…

It’s been a busy ten days. It’s hard to believe that after sewing and posting for so many days in a row, I haven’t done a bit of sewing or posted to my blog for over ten days! Wor…

I like the "sparkle" the printed fabric gives to this bargello quilt made with ombre' solids.

On my third trip walking through the exhibit at Festival , I took pictures of some of the quilts that really grabbed me. It's a pretty ecle...
