Day 18 Fabadashery Advent Quilt Show - Helen's Heirloom Farmer's Wife Quilt, custom quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Helen's Heirloom Farmer's Wife Quilt

There is no doubt that the first lockdown allowed many quilter's to pull out their 'long term' projects and get them finally quilted.  On Day 18 of the Fabadashery Advent Quilt Show we have Helen's  heirloom Farmer's Wife Quilt, which was one of those quilts.  It was started on a Di Ford workshop and whilst it is not strictly a Famer's Wife Quilt, the blocks are taken from the original quilt and Helen has used her wonderful stitching skills to add a centrepiece and her own border designs.

Below you can see photos of the quilt on my HandiQuilter frame near the end of its quilting and the fancy heirloom feather quilting which I did on the outside border.  It was a very large quilt, 95" x 95" and custom quilting was required.  By the time it was done, we were into the next lockdown and it had to wait a while until Helen could pick it up, so I got to know it well.
