Bargello heart table runner

This was the third of the quilts I dropped off from the ‘out of town’ quilter.  Because of all the different fabric colours in the bargello wave, I knew full custom quilting would not show up much.  I spoke to the maker, and we decided to use a combination of edge-to-edge bargello with simple straight lines in the background.

I had this quilt loaded on the frame during Easter, and so badly wanted to start on Monday, but at 18:30 on Sunday evening, the electricity in large parts of our city went out due to a fault.  Monday, therefore, was hell, sitting around unable to do anything.  By lunch, the electricity was back on, but with my tummy full (eating was most of what I did during this time), I was simply too lazy and unmotivated to start.  The quilt had to stand over until Tuesday.

Kaffet Fasset squares

Another quilt with squares to be used as a tablecloth, so no batting in this one, only flannel in the middle.  This is my customer preferring large-scale meandering. After doing all the tedious straight lines in the previous quilt, I welcomed something light and loose.

Postage stamp quilt

Somewhere along the line, I forgot to keep my blog updated. This led me to decide not to share quilts on Facebook, but rather to have them written about on my blog.

This quilt came to me via a local quilt teacher who presented a class in a town some 200 kilometres from us.  The teacher would return the next week, and I had to finish the quilt before then.  The quilt maker only requested diagonal lines over the centre of the quilt and left the choice of what to do on the border to me.

The border had massive waves, and the best I could do was quilt it to death so the sides would lie as flat as possible.  The maker seemed satisfied after seeing a photo I sent her.

ABC quilt alphabet blocks

I haven’t seen one of these in ages, and the worst part is, I can not remember the name of a single block starting with that letter of the alphabet.

Old age is not for sissies. I often use AI just to help refresh my memory.  This one took forever to finish, or so it felt.  My feet, knees, hips and lower back knew I was at the frame most of the day.  Thus, going to bed at 19:30 was nothing strange.  Not because I was all that tired, but I just needed to get my body in a different position.

Quilt for a soon to be born granddaughter

This quilter is expecting her first granddaughter soon, and they are leaving our city for the coast towards the end of the month.  She, therefore, wanted this to be quilted ASAP, I guess, so they could get packing for this huge move.
