Nina from Yungaburra sent 2 quilts which arrived today. The first “Kaleido-blue” is being quilted with the Irish swirls e2e pattern, while “Day on the lake” is being quilted with the ebb and flow pattern.
This applique quilt was made by Leanne from Dalby and is being quilted with the starlight e2e machine quilting pattern. It demonstrates that e2e quilting is suitable for applique quilts, without the necessity of expensive custom quilting around the edges of the applique.
“True Blue” is another wall-hanging size quilt designed by Kat of KoolKat that will be featured in her quilt exhibition as part of the Quilts, Stitches and Textiles Trail during Carnival of Flowers week this month. The quilt features the thread painting technique and was constructed as 9 separate mini-quilts before joining together as one piece.
Many different thread colours were used in free motion quilting to give a great effect of depth, light and shade.
The grey cot quilt Forest Friends, was made by Raelene from St George and is being quilted with the simplicity e2e machine quilting pattern. The second king size quilt was made by Desley from Vale View for her caravan, and is being quilted with the budget leaf meander e2e pattern.
