Fabadashery Drop-Off dates May 2022, including Malvern Show pick up

I know a lot of my customers are starting to spend more time in the garden at this time of year, so if you have been completing a quilt top over the winter months, now is a great time to get it professionally longarm quilted, whilst you enjoy your garden. Please get in contact to arrange an appointment, email frances@fabadashery.co.uk 

In addition to the days I am available for appointments, I will be attending the Malvern Show on Thursday 12th May and have already made arrangements to pick up quilts there, so if you want to be added to the list let me know.

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.

Nicola brought this smashing modern quilt to me at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting.  With such a strong directional, geometric design, one particular quilting pattern seemed perfect for it - Modern Curves by Anita Shackleford. A strong design deserves a strong quilting finish and I think this did the trick. This quilt design is called 'Nellie Gray' and is a pattern from Emma Jean Jansen's quilt book "By the Bundle".
