Hello, I'm back in blogland after moving house and my quilting workshop twice within 12 months, along with quilting for customers that was a lot of hard work. I have spaces for a few customer quilts in February but I'll only be doing digitised quilting designs for the time being. That is edge to edge quilting using pantographs that flow over your pieced tops no matter which pattern you have used for your piecing.  I've just updated my Facebook Business page and my Website with my new contact details, so if you really need me that's where you'll find me. Just to feed your appetite's here ..read more

This one was no exception, I struggled to tame the fullness in the blocks, much starch, steam and cursing was had, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Quilted with khaki sand thread and 'crystal maize computerised quilting design. I hope Doreen was happy with the finished quilt, it went home with that crinkly old fashioned look ..read more
