New quilt patterns and packs

emma — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:56:12 +0000

I recently made a new version of our much loved quilt
Lime and Soda. I made this quilt using David Butler’s
range of fabric called Curious Nature.

The Lime and Soda pattern is available here.
We did have packs for this quilt available
but unfortunately we have sold out.
Please contact us if you would like us
to put a pack together in similar fabrics.

The next quilt is called Steppin Out
and had been designed by Lynn Wilson.
A really simple pattern that is extremely
effective. The pattern uses fat 1/4′s
so it is a great ay to use up your stash.

The pattern for Steppin Out is available
here and you can get the quilt pack here.

Colour Squared is a new pattern from
Ballarat Patchwork. A easy 9 patch
design and a great way to use up your scraps

The pattern for Colour Sqaured
can be purchased here.

Janelle from The Janelle Wind Collection
has been busy designing a beautiful
quilt called Forest Hill.

We also have a pack for this quilt,
unfortunately we have sold
out but we will have more shortly.

and finally we have a pack for
Harlequin Stars.
This pack includes the 64 different
fabrics needed for this quilt.
All the fabrics have been sorted
into 16 groups of 4, one group for each star.
So all the hard work of choosing the fabrics
has been done for you!
The pack does not include the white background fabric.

Colour Squared – a new scrappy quilt design

emma — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:34:58 +0000

I love scrappy quilts, and this new quilt has been
made with lots and lots of scraps.

I always cut up small left over scraps
into 2 1/2″ squares.

I then sorted the squares into colours.

Lots and lots of sewing!

and the finished quilt.

The pattern for “Colour Squared” will
be available soon!

A Year in Quilts

emma — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:06:20 +0000

I thought it might be nice to see what I have been working
on for the last 12 months and I was a bit shocked to find
that I hadn’t made as many quilts as I thought.

Then I remembered I made 2 Harlequin Stars Quilts and
also my new pickle dish quilt. These were very time consuming quilts!

The first Harlequin Stars quilt,
which was raffled and raised money for Vic Quilters.

My new nephew Angus got a quilt.

Noah’s quilt. I actually made two of these!
The original going to my friend’s baby
and the other for the shop.

Scrap Dots and Spots.
I still love this quilt and would like
to make another using different colours.

I even designed some cushions in 2011!

The 2nd Harlequin Stars Quilt.

Rainbow Circles.
A quilt I orginally designed for Quilters
Companion Magazine using a layer cake.

The pretty Poppy’s Quilt.
This ended up being the inspiration
for the Woodland Circles Quilt.

Pickled Orange Peel
The pattern for this quilt will be available
later in the year in Quilters Comapinion Magazine.

and finally Woodland Circles.

What a year!
Looking forward to 2012
and of course lots more quilts!!!

A Little Quilt I Have Been Working On….

emma — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:51:36 +0000

I have spent the last to week madly sewing.
The quilt I have been working on is a Pickle Dish
made mainly out of Joel Dewberry fabrics.

I was asked by Claire Mooney from Quilters Companion
to design a quilt for a special edition of this magazine.
It is going to feature traditional quilts made from modern fabrics.
Release date is June 2012.

I have always wanted to make a pickle dish quilt so this
was the perfect opportunity.

First job was to cut all the triangles
for the pointed arc pieces.
I then foundation pieced these arcs.

That sure was alot of sewing!

Then I had to sew the blocks together.

This is the finished block.
Just had to sew it all together.

and the finished quilt,

Ta Da

any ideas for a name?

Back in May a friend of mine had a little baby boy and called him Noah.

Noah’s quilt is made from colours I just love
at the moment, red, aqua and gray.

I designed this quilt for him using our Funky Scrap Quilt as a start.

I have always loved this quilt and decided I would
make a cot version of it.

as the original and you can check them out here.
