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...
