Normally I send my quilts off to Sydney to get them quilted by the fantastic Kim Bradley. But recently, finished quilt tops have been piling up in my project box. Maybe it is time that I learned to do this myself.
I already have two quilts that need to be quilted and at least two [...]

I haven’t done anything “new” quilting wise in a long time. The last couple of quilts I have made were very project orientated. Meaning the focus was more on the end result rather than the process. I am a process kind-a-gal.
So when scouring the net for something interesting I came across [...]

I received my gorgeous doll quilt from Sheridan last week which is just perfect. She chose fabrics which I absolutely adore and has put so much effort into the little quilt. There are so many little pieces in this pattern and her hand quilting is SOO pretty.
These photos are from Sheridans blog, my camera is [...]

My sister is having a baby in August and has asked me to make her a cot quilt.
She has decided that she is going with a red and yellow theme which will suit either a boy or girl. She bought some fabrics through Z and S and I also picked some up at the [...]

In the mail last week my doll quilt arrived for DQS3.
It is a beautiful blue quilt called springtime, lovingly made by annieshouse.
She has done a spectacular job and I feel extremely lucky that this quilt now belongs to me. She also sent me a very appropriate book to read to my kids which is [...]

this post is pretty photo intensive
Sheridan and i decided to do a doll quilt swap between us – just for something to do. One of the rules was that we had to use what was in our stash. She got it yesterday (check out her blog post)
I picked the orange fabrics before she started this [...]
doll quilt swap update
Posted in completed projects, doll quilts, quilting, sewing on 14, April 2008 | 6 Comments »
I have pretty much finished my doll quilt for the swap, all I have to do is sew down the binding.
The stitching looks good and goes really well with the fabrics. But I was having trouble with the wash out pen marks. I tried to dab it with a damp cloth but when [...]
when redwork is … orange!

For Doll Quilt Swap 3 I am making something similar to what Sheridan made last time for her swap partner.
I really wanted to try and incorporate some redwork but also wanted to use the orange fabrics from my previous post.
So I decided to make my redwork – using oranges.
I got the stitching [...]
