Hazels Quilt Retreat 2015

This week we have some lovely ladies here on their own quilt retreat.

There has been lots of productive work completed over the last few days and they have also kept me very busy longarm quilting some of their makes.

This first quilt has been made for charity. Its going to be raffled for Ovarian Cancer, so I quilted this with my compliments.

The pattern chosen by the ladies was 'dragonflies' . This is a gorgeous quilt in lovely aqua & jades - the pictures don't really do this quilt justice and I really hope that they raise lots of money for the charity.


The next quilt had been on the go for some twenty years!

The pattern chosen for this one was 'circles & squares'

and the back

The third quilt - modern feathers was started in one of Hazels classes and finished here during the retreat.

The pattern chosen was 'funky feathers'

Next up, this lavender & green quilt. The pattern is called 'pansies'

& finally, quilt number five
 the pattern chosen for this one is called 'bountiful feathers'

well my poor Rodney & DellBoy now deserve a rest - they have been on overtime for these ladies, but we are all pleased that they have had a super retreat and we look forward to welcoming them back to Quilt Sandwich at The Royal Bridlington soon. 

Two More Happy Customers - Long arm quilting

Well today two customers have collected their quilts.

This customer was recommended to come to me by a local shop.  She told me that this started out as a practice piece for leaning different techniques and just grew with more borders and became too big for her to tackle.

The quilting design she chose is called 'Bountiful Feathers'  and here is the back

She was happily stunned when she saw what I had done to her top.....phew!
Its so lovely when your customers are thrilled with your work.


My next customer has made this pretty tulip top as a present for her grandchild.

Here it is just after loading on my ABM Innova.

The Pattern chosen is called 'Daisy Fast'.......although I must say it was not that fast ... I think someone was having a laugh and it took around 5 hours. Some of the fabrics in the quilt had a very similar design of daisy and so this worked really well I feel.

and here is the back

I would like to thank both customers for first of all trusting me with their treasured tops and secondily for allowing me to share the pictures.
