Quilt #21 Australian Tea Party

Well it has been a while since my last post on what we have been doing here at 

Darvanalee Designs,

I can tell you this is not through a lack of work as 

we have been very busy here with quilting and classes 

:) Lots of fun being had by all....

today I thought I would share this gorgeous quilt 

that was came to via my mail order service :) 

from St George Qld 

Gwen informed me that she was very keen to have the 

quilt finished asap as it is going into the local 

agricultural show in St George...

so after some lengthy discussions about what we were going to

quilt her gorgeous quilt...we decided to go with 

what as suggested in the pattern 

as there was so much Applique on the quilt

so micro stipple and larger stipple on the borders it was...

So a couple days later the quilt arrived safe and sound  YaY for Australia Post :) 

after unpacking Gwen's Quilt...which i might add the Pictures that I seen of it 

really did not do this quilt justice...it was soo beautiful...

as it was a mail order quilt and it arrived on a Friday and my Machine 

was free I loaded it in and got to quilting :) 

as you can see we try to blend the cotton as best as we could match 

it the background fabric...not always an easy feat but we got there

here you can see some of the work that has been done to it....

then it was finished out of the machine and trimmed and 

packed back up and heading back home 

Gwen received her quilt back home Safe and Sound 

and promptly rang me to tell me a big thank you 

and that she loved the work...

we are now waiting for the Picture to come through 

of the finished product....as Gwen is putting on 

all the Embellishments as I type :) 

Happy Quilting ") N

  

Better get cracking and get onto the next quilt
