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.

This quilt is inspired by my husband's garden. I love the way the roses take over and even try escaping over the back fence. It's hand appliqued and machine free-motion quilted.100% cotton fabrics and batting. Various colours of stranded thread for the applique and various polyester thread for the quilting.

I found this printed panel in my travels and hand embroidered the lettering on and off over some time. The wadding is bamboo, very soft and a dream to quilt. I used DMC stranded embroidery threads for the lettering and polyester thread for the quilting.

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.

This quilt is from the book Quilts to make for children by Margaret Rolfe. A friend at work asked me for a quilt for a family member who was expecting a girl soon. This quilt came to mind and she loved it. Consequently Amelia's Teddies now have a new home.

This lovely nursery rhyme wall quilt came from an excellent book from Quiltmania called Special Children 2011. Only downside to the pattern is the metric measuring. Coming from France all the measurements although written in english are metric! All my rulers are feet and inches. Had to get some new rulers. Fun and unexpected patterns can be found in this book.
