In my last post I showed how I store and display some of my
excessively (never!) rather large number of quilts that lurk all over the house.
From some of your comments and questions I thought you might like better photos of some of these quilts - so here goes.
This one is hanging in a hallway. Lots of different techniques for hand and machine in the top, and lots of opportunity for much-needed machine quilting practice too!

| Mixture of different fabrics like silk and velvet |
Below is an oldie - just folded on display. I made it in 1930's repro fabrics and hand quilted - finished around 1990:
Next is a quilt hanging in the hallway - a pattern called Jester by Karen Cunningham

Here is another Karen Cunningham pattern - called
Bum'bel-bee. Hand and machine pieced, and machine quilted. It is hanging on the wall in the study - behind me right now!

| My version of Bum'bel-bee - finished in 2012 |

The quilt below lives folded on my bed and is all EPP hexagons, apart from the outer floral border. It was my version of another Karen Cunningham pattern - Cream Tea. As you may have guessed, for a couple of years I went to regular classes held locally by the very talented Karen.

Blogger is starting to behave very strangely - bored with quilt photos I think! I should take the hint. Maybe more quilt tour photos next post??

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post very much! Thanks! The velvet and silk are beautiful together. I also love the borders in the Jester quilt. You've used some lovely fabrics for backings. Yes - please more!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this and your previous post very much! You made such beautiful quilts and so many big ones. I like the Sara morell and the bumbel bee, pockets of posies and I saw your Patchwork of the crosses: beautiful. Great job to quilt that one on the machine, seems difficult to me. But I did see on a little quilt that you use lots of pins, that might help?
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't mind if you show more..:)
