This week I had the pleasure to quilt this gorgeous Japanese quilt in wonderful hues of orange and red. We thought a clamshell design would be fitting and it suited it so well, all in Aurufil thread in matching gold. She is delighted and so am I.
William Morris Quilt finished
After a few glitches with my computer I am back. There has been a lot of sewing and quite a few WIP’s are now finished. First on the list was my William Morris appliqué quilt. There was some hand appliqué and some machine appliqué depending on my mood. I machine quilted on my longarm with a stipple allover, and finished her off with a matching binding. She is well admired in our visitors room.
Safe & Happy Easter
I would like to wish all my quilting friends a safe and happy Easter this weekend. Maybe you are travelling or maybe you can settle into your sewing room for some creative time. At our house we are getting ready for a house full of visitors, some special family we haven’t seen for a while. So I have some hand sewing ready so I can be productive and sociable in between meals and sight seeing. I hope to finish the borders on my William Morris quilt.
I am looking at taking bookings for Machine Quilting for April so if you need help finishing your quilts, whatever stage they are at, give me ring or email me to discuss and get a quote. I can collect from the Brisbane / Ipswich area.
I can do simple freehands or computerised edge to edge or block patterns. Lots of variety to choose from.
Remember, A Quilt is not a Quilt till its quilted.
Happy Easter,
Lyn.
Fun Baby Quilt
This was fun. I used various fillers and echoes to turn this panel into a Baby quilt. Quick to bind and ready to go.
Vintage Bears all done
I finished my Vintage Bears today. This is a gorgeous pattern from Calico Farm Designs. I quilted it with my freehand hearts and loopies and added little lace features. The binding is fully machined. I’m loving it, no hand sewing and the job is done. Hope you like it too.
William Morris getting closer
The appliqué borders are on, just need to be stitched. Looking good.

William Morris madness
Finally! Well not really, but the blocks are done and together. This labour of love has been in the sewing basket for a number of years and on the list of to do’s since Michelle Hill published it in 2004. It has taken several full days to knock over the last blocks and get it to this stage.
I can now add the appliqué borders and plan the quilting.
More soon.
Happy Quilting, Lyn.
