I bought a new ruler - I have a ruler problem haha, so had to try it out. This design was originally in red white and blue, but I pulled these pretty teal green and purple fabrics, complemented with grey grunge and a white, and got to work. It is a very effective pattern, and so many possibilities. Its not huge, but would go over a lounge for snuggling under or as a topper for a Queen bed. And, don't you love it when the wind blows so the quilt looks wonky in the pic?

The design for this quilt is called Walk in the Garden by Ann Visman. I have made it using ten pin bowling fabrics sourced in Australia and overseas. Perfect design for themed fabrics.

This quilt was made as a mystery in 2021. It is busy with lots of different star designs, how clever was Michelle (the designer) to come up with these. You could use it as a wall hanging or a lap quilt. For a bit of fun, I used a novelty background fabric and then pieced the backing with fabrics from the front, so essentially it could be reversible.

I never used to like brown but over the years have seen some really stunning brown colours (all under the blurky banner of brown). There are lots of different shades and colours in this quilt. Not pretty at all, but stunning in its own way.

This quilt was started in a workshop with the designer, Jacqueline de Jong, and completed in May 2012.I really enjoyed making it, and the quilting took many hours. Not to mention the application of the crystals.But, after travelling for shows, and then hanging in my studio, it is time to move on and find another home where it will be loved and admired.

I made this quilt using all different blues from my stash and sourced all over the place, including a star wars pattern, airplanes, flowers, animals and the list goes on. It is quite large and would be perfect for a lounge or a bed.

I have wanted to make this quilt for a while now, but needed to concentrate and pay attention to colour and tonal placement, so had to pick a quiet time to make it. The design is by Kitchen Table Quilting, and very easy to make. It is big enough for a double or a queen topper. Perfect gift for a non-pale loving person.

This beauty was a mystery run by Bonnie Hunter between Nov 2020 and Jan 2021. All the blocks are different but are brought together using a constant grey in the sashings. I had fun making this quilt.

Sale!I made this little quilt the other week after fighting with a complicated design which nearly did my head in . I needed something simple, small and modern. This pattern was perfect, and is by Kitchen Table Quilting, called The Sadie Quilt. Crisp clear non muddy fabrics, with a modern dotty background, which has a hint of blue in it, finished with the tag/label fabric on the back, it makes me happy. Perfect as a lap quilt (for a small person), a table decoration or as a gift for a new baby. If you want to hang it, it will need a rod pocket.

I made this quilt a while ago and it has languished in my pile of quilt tops because I didn't think I liked it any more. But when I got it out to quilt, I realised that, in fact, I love this quilt. lol. Amazing how your perspective can change when you're not up close and personal with the same thing all the time. I haven't really been attracted to modern quilts but when I saw this one in the Make Modern magazine I was immediately drawn to the randomness of the focus lines - in my case, the magenta. The designer is Mary Menzer, and it is called A Different Drummer, Issue 10. In my case, I have used all different green fabrics and have arranged them light to dark down the length of the quilt. It is a really lovely wall hanging, but would work as a snuggle quilt too if you wanted, although it is not really big enough. You could also use it as a runner for the foot of a bed. I think the attraction is to hang it, stand back and then look at the different greens and the way the magenta lines draw your eyes all over the quilt. At the moment it doesn't have a rod pocket, but would be easy to add later.

I made this quilt using a range of fabrics by Zen Chic called Just Red, with a few other coordinating fabrics. I had fun arranging the blocks into a colourwash style, with lighter blocks in the middle and darker on the outside. It could be a bed topper or a lap quilt, and with the colours and the heart theme could be a Valentine's gift.
-
I have been collecting cupcake fabrics for a while now and thought it was about time I made the quilt. It was fun to make and would be a fun gift for a cupcake lover, or to brighten up a room.

Evangeline - I looked up the meaning of this baby name and it means "good news, bringer of good news". People with this name tend to be orderly, a bit like the crosses in this quilt. (Thanks Kate for the quilt name :)). The crosses are described as modern vintage, I used modern fabrics, making them into traditional blocks of crosses and hourglasses. The fabrics are from my stash of pinks, watermelons, salmons and deep berry colours. Perfect size for a single bed, or as a topper for a larger bed. You could also hang it on the wall, though it will need a rod pocket.

My husband named this quilt Dazzle as he said it reminded him of Dazzle Camouflage. I had no idea there was such a thing, but apparently in WW1 (and to a lessor extent in WW2), it was used to confuse the enemy and make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading, rather than to conceal. (thanks to Wikipedia!) There is nothing concealing about this quilt. It is bright and dazzling (like that?) and a perfect masculine quilt. A good size for a twin bed, or as a snuggle quilt.
-
This is a smaller quilt than I normally make, but is as effective a design as the bigger bargellos. I used lots of different brown and yellow fabrics, including a couple of horsey ones - you'll need to look closely, hence the cowboy name. lol It is not really big enough to use as a quilt or lap quilt, but would work as a baby floor quilt, or, a striking wall hanging.
-
I am really pleased with the way the colours of this little wall-hanging have worked together to produce a vibrant and colourful piece, with a spiral of black and white asymmetrically across and around the centre. Each little square (or half square triangle) has been individually pieced and trimmed to an exact size, so the flow of the shapes and the quilting works beautifully. I have used some of my most favourite fabrics in this piece. If they (the fabrics) didn't make my senses sing, they went back into the cupboard to be used in something else. Have a look at the close up pictures to see some of the different colours, designs and patterns used. Not really big enough to use as a quilt, it would be perfect as a wall hanging. It has a rod pocked on the back to enable hanging.

This is a very large quilt and comfortably fits on a Queen sized bed with overhang. The design of the quilt is called a braid, and in this case the colours flow across the width of the quilt in a chevron style design.
-
Lime and Berry purple - a striking combination! I collected these fabrics wherever I went and finally found the perfect border fabric. It was completed in June 2011 and has been hanging in my house in a protected-from-light area, and the colours are still as vibrant as ever.

Size 41cm x 41cm (16" x 16") Made using cotton fabrics Sold as the cushion cover only - no insert is included. There is a grey zip hidden underneath the flap on the back so you can insert your cushion. I have used a 50cm feather insert from Pillow Talk, as I like my cushions soft and full. This is NOT included in the sale, only for display in the photo.

Sale!This quilt has taken several years to make and was my "in between" project. There are many different dark and light fabrics, often with interesting little things on them, like baseball bats. Have a look at the pictures to see what interesting things you might see. This quilt would work as a snuggle quilt, or a double bed topper.

This little quilt was made using a coordinated range of fabrics. I was very taken with the bicycles (hence the name), and the gorgeous teal and coral colours. Perfect as a lap quilt or a floor rug for a little person. Ideal gift.
