Applique Wisteria Floral Wall Quilt

Megan Byrne — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 01:06:36 GMT

This is my own design of the Wisteria growing in my garden in Spring. It's turning into a series of quilts, but I love designing with flowers. I made this into a pattern and its on the Craftsy site.

Life's a game

My grandson Joshua loves games. I was planning on a birthday quilt that was about cars and trucks 'cause he loves those but his sister said it had to be something brighter! he loves to play all the "old" games like ludo and chinese checkers and snakes and ladders. it was a no brainer really. Snakes and ladders is it. The hardest part was working out the pattern and how big to make it. I used cotton fabric, various coloured threads for the applique and invisible thread for the quilting, keeping it simple.

Squares

I chose the brown and cream spotted fabric first thinking of making something with an irish chain design, then i was given some modern prints and the quilt turned into this. I quilted some feathers around each square.

This is another colourway for the hidden stars pattern. The yellow and the grey work well together and the stars really shine. I tried an all over design of leaves and flowers hoping to get the pattern within the stars as well. I'll have to work on that!

I thought the beautiful border print needed a different sort of quilt so I tried the slash and put together technique, a little like writing music! It's 100% cotton fabric and batting and quilted on my home machine with an all over design of a treble clef.

I loved this material and wanted something to showcase it. What better than a classic

This was a first try at piecing a quilt as well as applique. It's from the book Bloom Creek Quilts. I was living in far north Newfoundland and Labrador and the winter was very cold and snowy and being inside sewing was the best thing. All the material was sent in by post which kind of hooked me on internet shopping!
