The Essential Sampler Quilt by Lynne Edwards

Lella brought her quilt top to Fabadashery Longarm Quilting after it had been stored in a cupboard for a number of years, waiting to be quilted.  She chose the fabrics with Ann Stuart of Busy Bees, Newport, when Ann was based at Taurus Crafts, near Lydney, and really enjoyed the workshops to put it together.  It was a large quilt, finished off with a lovely piano key border.  The longarm machine can make light work of the quilting of a quilt, and within a few days of delivering the quilt, Lella was back to pick it up.  With the binding attached as part of the services offered by Fabadashery Longarm Quilting, Lella is now able to do the final stitches of her project and have it on her bed in time for winter 2023.

Rosemary's HUGE Hexagon Quilt

 

Rosemary's HUGE Hexagon Quilt

Do you know of one of these types of quilts lurking in a cupboard somewhere? An English Paper Pieced quilt top, featuring fabrics from yesteryear, shoved in the back of a cupboard waiting for the day when it will be quilted?  Well, for Rosemary, the day came this summer  (in fact, I have done quite a few this summer...). This quilt had been with her for 25 years and she had picked it up in a Charity Shop, so it had a bit of history.  There were lots of Laura Ashley gems in this one and the few paper pieces still left in included cardboard from a vintage Kellog's Frosties packet. It was huge, 114" x 84", which required the extra wide wadding I supply and to bring it closer to the finish, Rosemary took advantage of the Fabadashery Longarm Quilting binding service.

For the pattern Rosemary chose a Floral block pattern, from my Art and Stitch catalogue.  This is a block pattern, so we were able to flip and mirror the blocks to create our own pattern.

If you know of one of these hexagon quilts sitting in a cupboard, pull it out and get in touch to see if Fabadashery Longarm Quilting can help to finish it.

Jill's William Morris Log Cabin Quilt, quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Jill's William Morris Log Cabin Quilt

Jill brought this quilt to Fabadashery Longarm Quilting and from the moment I saw it I was in love with it.  Jill has an eye for colour and using a William Morris print as a starting point, she created this Log Cabin quilt using a mix of other prints. There is a reason  William Morris is still so popular and that is because the prints are easy to live with. The quilting pattern was called 'Malachite' designed by Patricia E Ritter, and it made a perfect combination.  To save one extra job, Jill also took advantage of the binding service we offer.

Jude's Jelly Roll Quilt

Here is a great quilt which I longarm quilted for #jude_stitches.  A simple design which she devised herself to use up a Jelly Roll.  It was for her son and Jude chose this magnificent pattern called 'Dynamite' by Sarah Ann Myers, with a dynamic swirl and star.  I have been waiting to use this for ages - it looked great on the front and the back!
