Wisteria

I collected all the fabrics in this quilt's background while travelling through the east coast of USA not knowing that they would become a brick wall. I made the brick wall thinking to put graffiti on it, something wild and urban, but I saw my wisteria flowering on my verandah and wisteria wall it became. Sometimes i think quilts make themselves! All the fabrics are 100% cotton, raw edged appliqued on my machine (for the first time!), various threads and the wadding is a thin iron on type I wanted to try.

My daughter organises a cupcake day each year for Telethon, our local children's hospital fundraiser. Volunteer bakers donate their cupcakes and time and all proceeds of their sale goes to Telethon. I can't bake so I am making these sets for her. They are from a web bonus pattern in Quilt magazine Oct/Nov 2012.

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 love the leafy print in this quilt.I made the design myself. Its 100% cotton fabric and batting and made on my home machine. The feathers are stitched freehand as are the dragonflys.
