I’ve been doing quite a bit of custom work lately and for those quilters amongst us will know how this slows us up. Sometimes I agonise over them, well mostly I do, but when they’re done I have such a sense of accomplishment that it’s worth it. Then the hard part……parting with them.
The first photo is the 2nd quilt I’ve done for Lyn – both the same – however it’s quite some time since I did the first one and this one had a “feather treatment”. Lyn had added all the embellishments before she booked the quilt in and it was quite challenging quilting around/between all the beads and bling – luckily there was only one casualty. The second is a Star…..lmao….I have no idea which star it is as I’m not a piecer as such and I simply don’t remember. It was all bias piecing so all in all the outcome was a good one. I love the greens and black – very striking.
This is another in the girls day out series…. I think….and I enjoyed quilting it. I quilted lots of different little designs in the various piecing and had quite a play.
The quilting on this had been started before it came to me – all the SID had been done and the Butterflies had been echoed around. This presented a few issues but sometimes working outside the square challenges us and increases our skill set…..not that I want to do that all the time. It was a pretty good outcome considering.
That’s it for now, I’ve surprised myself getting 2 blog posts done in a month, hopefully somebody reads it
.Hugs,
Sharon
