Quilt tour part two....

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!

Hannahs Baskets 2009- a kit from Red Paisley Patchwork
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

My version of Jester - hand appliqued, machine quilted, 2010

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

Some more of Bum'bel-bee
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.

My version of Cream Tea - completed 2011

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??
