Quilts January 2017

Oh well, these photos seem to have decided on a different sequence; however, I try to not meddle with Blogger! This is Polly's, I think and is 4 blocks of Dutchmans Puzzle coloured to create pinwheels - clever

Lynne's centre.  I love how they all turn out differently.

Linda's petals which, as you can see, she is handquilting

Jane's finished top, or flimsy



This quilt, and the one below, were one big quilt which size wise for Project Linus is not great, so Jane unpicked it across the middle and created two.  The wadding was donated by the the Warm Company who are great supporters of Project Linus, Jane provided the backing I think, Janet the binding, and she quilted it - J S Longarm Quilting

two different quilting designs - toys




..and rabbits


Another of Janet's quilts


with the most beautiful quilting design

this one we've shown previously, now complete


with another pretty design


This is the quilting of the quilt at the bottom.  No idea why Blogger put the pic down there, but I am not going to fiddle

Kim's completed round

set off beautifully by this little fillet of a border

Excuse Sarah's elbow - finished quilt for her mum ready to go....(and well received, apparently)

No, Sarah has not gone all peculiar, but we had to put her BOM middle on something that would show up what she was doing.  Sarah has put wadding behind this one now, so that when it is finished there will be a double layer behind the centre which will show it off.  Neat, eh?

This is Janet's sampler quilt which she quilted above.  Janet is a meticulous worker and made an awful lot of these blocks until she got fed up.  There are quite a few kicking around in her sewing studio, I believe.....

July

Jane's quilt made from her husband's shirts, for him.  It looks wonderful.


Rosemary's.  She has matched the blues beautifully.  It's a very striking quilt.

Janet made an awful lot of these sampler blocks using both Lynne Edwards' sampler blooks.  Here are some of them

Another one of Jane's, a very graphic quality and looking great

Jane is hand quilting this, she can't use a hoop at the momen,t and is discovering the joys of quilting using pins or spray glue and no hoop.  I have a big hoop but I also tend to just use pins though I have always used more pins than Jane does - she lives dangerously lol

the following are Steph's workbox pictures - it has a rich quality about it and is another stunner




Steph also made a thread catcher with a dachshund for the weight.

Sian's country garden quilt layered, glued, pinned and ready to consider how to quilt it.  Several people helped Sian cut the wadding, layer everything up and spray and pin it - that's one of the nice things about a group of like-minded people.  It was a hot evening and the floor was nice and cool so another good reason to take shoes off.     


We have had new grandchildren over the past couple of years - Rosemary and Elaine have grandsons and Linda and Sheila have a new granddaughter and grandson respectively.  More children to make for - lovely! And their arrival was celebrated by us with cake lol!
