Jane's Poppy Quilt, quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Jane's Poppy Quilt

This is Jane's Poppy Quilt, a project which she completed on a quilting cruise.  A simply pieced background with some stunning appliqued poppies taking centre stage.  Jane also took advantage of the Fabadashery Longarm Quilting partial finishing and binding service, which meant that she just had to hand finish the binding before gifting it to a family a member.

The quilting pattern is 'Breath of Gods' by Apricot Moon.

' Anchors Aweigh' Pirate Panel Quilt made by Valerie, quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

'Pirate Quilt' made by Valerie

With a new baby on the way, Valerie wanted to make sure that she was 'quilt ready' for the newborn and sourced this fun pirate quilt panel and the centre of her quilt.  The colourful quilt panel is 'Pirates Panel' sold by Makower and Valerie has made it bigger by adding her own blocks.  The black and white striped binding really finishes it off well.

Keeping with the seafaring theme, Valerie chose 'Anchors Aweigh' designed by Patricia Ritter for the longarm quilting pattern.

Yesterday was a beautiful autumn day, with the trees full of colour, which made me reach out for this lovely selection of fabrics, Cottage Cloth by Andover, which are waiting in my stash to be used. I haven't made a quilt for long time, but even I still have a few tops waiting to be quilted!

Katie's Unique Log Cabin

Katie is a textile designer, and she has made this unique log cabin quilt out of all her scraps of self-designed fabrics.  As a result, they are all in fabrics and colours she loves!  The fabrics were a heavier weight than quilting cotton, so to reduce the weight, Katie chose 100% wool for her wadding. 

Katie also chose a special Indian block print fabric from Merchant and Mills for the backing

To finish the quilt off, Katie chose 'Birds Eye View' designed by Barbara Becker.

Sheila's Turquoise Star Quilt - Quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Sheila's Turquoise Star Quilt

Sheila had a 'focus' fabric at the centre of her stars which led to this lovely colour turquoise and pink colour scheme for a quilt. Sheila is a very experienced quilter and it is evident from her clever use of batik fabrics, using dark navy, tones of turquoise blues and pale blues to get a magical mix of dark, medium and light tones.

Sheila's Turquoise Star Quilt

The batik fabrics are very forgiving when choosing a digital quilting pattern and on this occasion Sheila chose 'Bubbles' designed by Lorien Quilting.
