Cross Hatch Heaven Quilt # 43

To we are working on Sandra.W's
quit.

This one is a little different this is a one piece
quilting..not something that i do very often 

today we have been doing cross Hatch over the entire Quilt 

this Quilt is a King size quilt 
as you can see it took up a lot of room  
Sandra will, when she takes delivery of the quilt 
will be adding some rainbow Dresden Plates 
all over the quilt..

I believe this quilt is for her daughter
this was the first time i had ever done anything 
this big with just cross hatch pattern 


I can say this i have learnt a lot from this project 
I found it a little difficult as we were working black and 
stitching with black cotton 
I got there in the end and i can't wait to see the 
end result with the Dresden plates on the quilt 
But it was a good experience 
And I did learn one thing I needed to get myself glasses for my eyes
are getting very sore by the end of the day.

So now I have also looked at getting better lighting  for my machine


I will add more pictures as they become available 
from Sandra.W 
so I better get cracking onto the next quilt

Blue Heaven Quilt #42


Today we worked on Lisa.A of Kingaroys 
quilt...this lovely Blue quilt of simple 
squares and rectangles is just divine

This is Lisa'a 2nd quilt that i have quilted for her 
and both of them have been blue 
they have been created for her Son's

we used a blue backing 
with planes of different types on it 
called Up and Away :) 
as her boys just love 
planes I have been told 





we used a cloud all over pattern 
to tie all the aspects of the quilt 
together...


we used a variegated thread of different 
shades of blue some of the quilt it 
disappears and on the border it just Pops ")


as you can see from the pictures this was 
a good size quilt 
and it turned out just lovely 


I am  sure that this quilt will be loved by her 
some for many years to come :) 
as the design both patchwork and quilting
will grow with them :) 

I better scoot and get onto the next quilt

Here Kitty Kitty Quilt #41

Here we are at quilt #41 
today we are looking at 
Janelle.S of Kingaroy's Quilt 

a lot of work has gone into this quilt 
as the title suggest it is all about 
cats 

every block is a Kitty 
we used an all over quilting pattern 
called wave on wave 
using a pastel variegated cotton top and bottom 
as you can see front he pictures this 
is large quilt...you can also see that the backing was a 
plane colour and with the variegated thread 
it has given Janelle the option to used the 
quilt either way 2 quilts for the price of one :) 
it is also a great way to use up all the scraps
that you might have laying around 

i am sure her sister will love this quilt 
for many years to come...


Now moving onto Lisa's Blue quilt

 Michele is fairly new to the quilting 
world she was introduced to the hobby 
by her sister Debby.S

this is the 3rd quilt that I have quilted
for Michele

so far all the quilts that i have done for her 
have had a truck theme

big rig backing fabric for this quilt
