Malvern Quilts UK Show 2022 - Fabadashery Longarm Quilting Customer Quilts

Porcelain Petals Medallion Quilt made by Alyson Wells,
custom quilted by Frances Meredith at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Yesterday, I had a wonderful day at the Quilts UK Malvern Quilt Show organised by Grosvenor Shows.  I spent most of the day chatting to friends and customers who I know, but couldn't wait to see the competition quilts on display in the marquee at the back of the Hall. Amongst the competition quilts were some quilts I had help to finish for my customers, some of which had been waiting since 2020 to be displayed.  Firstly, this gorgeous red, white and blue medallion quilt made by Alyson, which won a  Judges Merit rosette, you can see more details in an earlier blog post.  Below you can see the other quilts by Eirwen, Christine Porter and Carol Allen.

Here is a little custom quilted wall hanging made by Valerie. It is a Monkey Buttons pattern featuring harebells, toadstools and leaping hares.  The multi-coloured strips were an opportunity to use a variety of custom quilt patterns and fills, to add texture.

Sheila's Batik Quilt, with Easy Peasy Quilting

'Easy Peasy' Digital Quilting pattern, 
designed by Hermione Agee

You know I love to share a photo of a quilt on the frame, with the sun shining across the quilt, showcasing the amazing work my APQS quilting machine does for me.  Here is today's offering, Sheila's Batik Stars Quilt.  Sheila has dipped into her batik stash of this one, using the colours from the border for the stars and a subtle range of neutral batiks for the background.

The quilting pattern is 'Easy Peasy' designed by Hermione Agee.  It is quite a small pattern, interlocking, which gives a soft allover texture.

quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Here is a beautiful blue and white quilt made by Eirwen. The feature fabric included lots of flowers and we took that for inspiration for the quilting pattern and used a very pale neutral thread - Glide Warm Grey 4 (I use a lot of it ...)

The quilting pattern is called 'Moxie' and is designed by Leisha Farmsworth and Patricia Ritter.  One of my favourites and one I like to use on my own quilts.

Sue's Geometric Baby Quilt with Blooms Quilting Pattern

 

Sue's Geometric Baby Quilt with Blooms Quilting Pattern

Sue brought me this quilt which she had made for a family member. I should have taken a photo of the backing fabric which was a lovely floral fabric and ended up being the inspiration for the floral quilting pattern on the front. Initially, we were unsure of how to mix the modern and floral, but the quilting pattern, Blooms designed by Anne Bright, worked wonderfully.
