WoW What a Week :)

Whoa!!!!! is all I can say 

about this week....

I have been quilting up a 

storm 

to say the least....

here is some of what I have been working 

on...now I have only quilted these 

quilts with my 

Handi Quilter Avante Q18   

which I must say I am in 

love with :) 

the following Quilts have been 

pieced by some very talented ladies 

here in Kingaroy Qld 

this is Margie.R.of Kingaroy  

 The Quilt she is doing is a charity quilt 

for the Koala Foundation here 

in Australia

it is being put up for Auction 

and all funds are going to the foundation :) 

the lucky owner of this quilt will 

be very happy indeed :) 

below is the close up of the 

gum leave pattern    

   

 

The following 4 quilts were all done 

by Leanne. M of Nanango Qld ...

Leanne is new to the world of Patchwork and 

quilting...but has already shown 

that she has talent...she is self taught 

but has some sewing experience....I adore 

her colour choices and the simplicity of her 

quilts...they look so effective :) 

it is a pleasure to quilt for her            

Close up of the pattern of the 2 Aqua and orange 

quilts 

Moda fabric called Flirt 

here she has just used one Moda layer cake for 

her 2  quilts...these are going to make 

great gifts ...

next we move on to Leanne's 3rd quilt 

which i might add ...

when she dropped it off for quilting 

she was not very happy with the colours 

as it is for someone else...

but to me and many others that have seen the quilt

they thought it was just 

gorgeous...and she executed the 

10 minute block nicely 

not bad for a beginner quilter :)   

 

a close up of the pattern we did on the 

10 minute Block quilt  

and now we move on to the final quilt

for Leanne

this one of all of them would

have to be my favorite....

That is if I had to choose 

I just love the Blue and cream 

colour scheme...

she also wanted to have navy blue 

cotton and backing too...

as you can see below it 

 is just gorgeous  

this is the close up of the pattern Leanne Chose :) 

 it suited the quilt so well  

the quilt below was a class that i was teaching 

to some of the beginner patchworker's

this one we called orange passion 

as you can see it has lost of orange 

and it will be finished with rounded 

corners and orange binding 

it has a butterfly pattern all

over quilting...

and it was pieced by Janet.F   

of Nanango Qld...

I just love the colours 

and I can tell you that not many are 

a fan of the Colour orange...but this 

quilt made a few step out of their comfort Zone 

and as a teacher i am happy when people 

are looking out of the box :)      

    

 so by the time I have finished the post 

I will have done 6 quilts in total for 

the week and moving onto the 

7th quilt...

  and next week is looking 

very much the same....

with more quilts coming in daily...

*************

I love my job and would not trade it for 

anything in the world..

I am very thankful to have found my Bliss 

that day I walk into that little fabric shop

called Milly's House of Craft 

here in Kingaroy...

that is where I got my start in quilting...

sadly that little shop has now closed 

but I am determind to keep the art of 

Quilting and Crafting alive for the 

younger and older generation alike  :) 

Happy Quilting <3 N
