This is Bev from Kingsthorpe’s bargello quilt.  It is being quilted with the budget deb’s swirls e2e machine quilting pattern.

The KoolKats will be away for most of next month.  The last day to receive quilts will be May 30.  We leave June 2 and expect to be back around Monday 20.  We have a workshop in Eulo on June 4, after which we intend to do some travelling in our van.  Some of this will be in remote country and we will be out of reach of phone and email communication.  Our mail will be collected during that period and if you wish to send a quilt, it will be collected and stored safely pending our return.

The first quilt is from Alison of Mudgeeraba who requested a pattern suitable for man, something without flowers.  KoolKat chose the plush e2e machine quilting pattern for this quilt. Liz from The Dawn near Gympie is heading off to New Zealand next week, and had a rush job for a king size quilt with a label and binding both sides.  As the quilt took 3 days to arrive, the KoolKats realised they would have to complete this quilt in today, and shortly before the post closed, the job was done.  It has been quilted in the budget meander e2e chosen by Liz.  The final Japanese quilt from Mavis at Roma, also required a label, and it has been quilted in the blowing pampass grass e2e.  Time to put our feet up!

These two quilts are from Kym at Springsure.  The blue star quilt is being quilted with the starlight e2e machine quilting pattern and the cream and red memory quilt with the roseleaves e2e pattern.

This is Judy’s flannelette fabric quilt which is being quilted with the nautilus e2e machine quilting pattern.  Judy who lives in Toowoomba,  dropped this quilt in to KoolKat yesterday.
