'Country Sampler' quilt made by Barbara

'Country Sampler' Quilt

This is Barbara's 'Country Sampler' quilt which she made as part of a workshop with Jennifer at Sew Forest of Dean.  She made a lovely job of it and had really appreciated the guidance that Jennifer gave her throughout the project.  I never tire of sampler quilts as they are a great way to find out what techniques we enjoy the most.  Some times we are so keen to move onto the next project that taking advantage of your local longarm quilting service is a great way to make sure projects get finished.
This quilt is heading with love to a family member, so it had to be hearts!

Eirwen's Log Cabin Quilt

All my wonderful customers are keeping me busy on my longarm quilting machine at the moment. Eirwen usually leaves it to me to decide what quilting to put on her quilts.  On this occasion I used my new Sea Green Glide thread with  a'Bubbles' quilting design.  The Sea Green blended nicely with the colours she used for her log cabins and then added interest to the lighter areas.

Modern Yellow Ochre Quilt made by Penny

Modern Yellow Ochre Quilt made by Penny

It's a while since I have shown a quilt featuring the 'Modern Curves' quilting pattern that is so popular.  Here Penny has made a striking modern quilt using ochre yellow fabrics from the same range. The quilting really adds to the modern feel.

Firestorm Quilt designed by Bonnie Sullivan, featured in Quiltmania, made by Valerie

Quilted by Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

The quilt pattern, called the Firestorm Quilt designed by Bonnie Sullivan, was featured in Quiltmania magazine. Valerie liked this quilt so much she made two! I also really enjoyed quilting this quilt because it was made out of MODA Flannel fabric, which is beautifully soft.  It's lovely texture quilted beautifully and really made me want to make a flannel quilt too.

The quilt was for a male relative and to quilt it Valerie chose this simple Paisley pattern called 'Kiss'.

Sampler Quilt - GCSE Texiles Project, a family affair

Sampler Quilt - GCSE Texiles Project, a family affair

I really love to hear the stories behind the quilts which my customers bring me. This sampler quilt started off as Emily's GCSE Textiles project many, many years ago.  Mum took it up as a project and more recently finished the quilt top.  It measures 98" x 114".  It was an epic project and once a quilt top becomes this large, it makes sense to consider having it longarm quilted.  Fabadashery Longarm Quilting also offers a partial binding service which adds the binding to the quilt and trims it down, leaving just the final binding seam - giving you the pleasure of finishing off the whole project.

The quilting on this sampler quilt was called  Diagonal Plaid Bias.

This weekend has been celebrating National Jelly Roll Day, so I thought I would share with you one of the recent Jelly Roll quilts I have had the pleasure of quilting for Cath. The Jelly Roll pattern is called 'Jitterbug' by Pam & Nicky Lintott, which was featured in Issue 33 of Today's Quilter 2018.
