Beautiful Feather Quilting

This is the current Raffle Quilt for the Wilted Quilters in George Town Tasmania - they are having their exhibition in George Town from 19 through 21 November 2009. I didn't want to quilt too much in behind the handbang stitcheries so did a nice diamond cross hatch which sets the stitcheries off nicely. The remainder of the quilt was quilted with my freehand feathers with the pink border having a little leaf vine.

And this quilt is Geraldine's lovely Picininni quilt - with feathers - it is a really nice quilt. I was impressed with how the colours looked - wonderful!

































So it's back to the quilt machine for me .... hope everyone is enjoying this lovely sunshine weather we are having. Happy quilting for now ... Jane x

The end of the year is too near!

Shadow - gazing across to our neighbour's property where the alpacas live - well she is probably checking out the birds in the trees really!










I love backing fabrics - this is another one from Brenda at Widebacks and I have quilted this lovely quilt by Marie F. with Celtic Scroll pattern.














Another "Matilda's Farm" quilt - this time with a simple all over pattern.














The next quilt is Sally's quilt which I have finished quilting and binding for her - as she is a non-quilter.


So life at the moment is pretty hectic with the pre-Christmas rush, school examination time for my son - so back and forth to school at odd times during the days ... sigh ... he only has one more year now and then he is finished school - seems like only yesterday that we first took him to pre-school.

Anyway ... happy quilting for now ... Jane
