Quilting for Christmas

A bit late I know but here goes...........A Quilt for Christmas for my daughter.  The fabrics were a jelly roll from Fabric Freedom.  The design was a freebie pattern from Bonnie Hunter called Pineapple Blossom.  I have to say it went together like a dream.  I quilted it on my Longarm with an all over free motion swirl and heart.

This wall hanging was so much fun to make.  It is made up of different interlocking fonts to read Merry Christmas and it certainly brightened up our room.  I appliqued letters with steam a seam 2 (love that stuff) and then used the buttonhole stitch on my machine to finish them off.  Again, I free motion quilted it with an all over vermicelli.  It made the letters pop out.

These are my Christmas cushions - I had so much Christmas fabric that I knew I had to use up.  Snowball block, Stitch and Flip flying geese and a panel print.

There are some more but save that for another day.

Miranda's latest

My young pupil has mad her first skirt.  It is a needle cord print. She matches the seams nicely and her zip went in a treat!  Well done ....

Oscar's Quilt

A lot has been going on n the stitchshed lately, my fingers have been busy, busy busy.......

This quilt was the idea from Clare my youngest daughter - she wanted to preserve some of Oscar's baby items.  I suggested the bunting design.  I gave her a quick lesson on bondaweb as most of the fabrics were cotton jersey.  Clare ironed, cut and stitched the design onto 100% cotton sheet with the help of Oscar at times!   I free-motion quilted it with a triangle /bunting shape design and bound it.   

It was a resounding success as you can see......

Red Square

This quilt is purely made from scraps.  It is a Bonnie Hunter Free pattern and I must say it grew quite quickly.  The quilting is not brilliant as I was practising free motion quilting on my home longarm, but it's not too bad.

I have a little Fiat 500 and this quilt is destined for the back seat of Nippy Nora!

Silver Wedding Cushion

Some friends of ours celebrated their silver wedding today and I decided to make them a little momento.  It was an embroidered and patch worked cushion with applique hearts in the centre, their names and dates.  I then embroidered rows of hearts.

Wilderness Trail

Many moons ago I started this quilt at a local retreat and a few weeks ago I pulled it out of my unfinished projects where it was buried!   It now has a new home in our friends house.

It is a moda fabric called "wilderness trail".  It has a beautiful quality to work with and quilt.  I free motion quilters it on my home longarm.

My young pupil has been busy over the last few months learning lots of processes including zip insertion, seams, fitting and the list goes on.
