I have enlisted Brenda Gail smith to make this site for me
Gee it was lovely to get back into classes again and see my quilting friends and new students. Welcome everyone . I look forward to a wonderful creative year ahead. February classes have just finished and now into the march round.
It seems that December and January is a family, holiday time for most quilters. They have come back to class in February full of enthusiasm and eager to get back into stitching. Welcome back everyone.
I have been busy in the holidays revamping my Daisy Path quilt. This is the original quilt made in 2011. I made it for a Blind hem and Raw edge free motion class that I travelled extensively with. Daisy Paths was very popular and the was quilt remade over again by students. Having the opportunity to re design the quilt for others I wanted a new version too. The large quilt will be in Sydney Quilt NSW June show so I cant show that at the moment but I can show the accompanying cushion and runner.
Oh Okay just a snippet look:
Daisy Path cushion
The cushion is blind hem appliqued and Sketch free motion applique for the flowers and is 36 inches square
and of course the back is quilted with daisy's.....
Daisy Path Runner
A lovely bed or table runner measuring 16 wide x 66 inches long.
The paths have been decorative stitched raw edge appliqued with and the flowers Sketch appliqued.
A closer look
I am currently writing the book for all three projects now,. There is a 6 piece template set to accompany the book. Will be available soon.
Quilt Watch !!!!
Some students terrific work for February. Beautiful bright free form triangle work, hearts and lollipops clam shells, applique and tumbler quilts. Love them all....
