A varied set of quilts arrived yesterday. Karen from Camooweal in the State’s north west sent 2 each of the hungry caterpillar and the princess quilts. The caterpillars were quilted with the dragonflies e2e machine quilting pattern and the princesses with happy times. The bottom quilt came from Lyn in Toowoomba and was quilted with the roseleaves e2e machine quilting pattern.
These quilts arrived on Friday, the left hand quilt is from Joan in Toowoomba and has been quilted in the sticky buns e2e machine quilting pattern. The other 2 quilts are from Narelle of Bollon who will collect these quilts early next week on her return trip from Brisbane. The brown quilt is being quilted in the daisy chain e2e machine quilting pattern and the cot quilt with happy times e2e.
The first quilt is from Betty of Warwick who selected the budget leaf meander e2e machine quilting pattern for her quilt. The next quilts are a similar pattern, but one is for a boy and the other, a girl. Jan from Toowoomba chose the paisley playtime pattern for the girl’s quilt and the budget Deb’s Swirls for the boy’s quilt. The double wedding ring quilt is one of the first quilts made by Pauline from Booval and is being quilted in the budget meander pattern.
The first quilt is from Jenny of Toowoomba and features blocks of hexagons in the quilt design. Jenny chose the budget I Love It trailing hearts e2e machine quilting pattern for this quilt. The blue and cream lap quilt from Margaret at Kenmore is being quilted in the daisy chain e2e machine quilting pattern in a cream thread.
Glenda from Toowoomba dropped in today with two quilts. Glenda was her normal bright, bubbly self and certainly livened up our day. She has chosen the clover e2e and budget meander e2e machine quilting patterns for these quilts.

The first quilt (top left) from Jennine of Toowoomba and the middle quilt from Robyn in Victoria demonstrate the power of referrals in bringing new customers to KoolKat. Thank you those existing KoolKats who referred their friends to us. Jennine chose the budget leaf meander e2e, while Robyn is having the Stars and Loops e2e machine quilting pattern. Last but not least, we welcome back Trish of Toowoomba who made the bottom quilt for her grand-daughter. Trish chose the Nautilus pattern for her quilt.
The Bali Butterfly on the left has been made from a kit and pattern purchased from the KoolKat stand at Toowoomba Quilt Show by Janet from Mt Omaney, Brisbane while the pink butterfly was made by Marie from Surat at last year’s KoolKat Quilting workshop held there.
We don’t normally work on Sundays, but it made sense as tomorrow is set aside for machine maintenance and repair. One never turns down a booking for sewing machine maintenance person. The first quilt is another large quilt from Christina of Toowoomba and it is being quilted in the budget I Love It trailing hearts e2e machine quilting pattern, as is the quilt from Sandy of Toowoomba further below. Sandy often requests labels for her quilts and two of these are also featured below.
At 112 x 110 inches (around 2.75m square), this is the largest quilt we have received at KoolKat Quilting for a while. Luckily it fits on the frame of the Statler Supreme, which is the largest of the Gammill computerised long arm quilting machines. This was the second of two large quilts from Christina of Toowoomba and it is being quilted in the frisky feathers e2e machine quilting pattern in a cream thread. Cream Caribbean backing and king size wool/poly wadding supplied by KoolKat Quilting. Two pieces of 120 inch long backing were used (2.75 wideback backing) and joined, the join being centred in the quilt. The quilt is a special one destined for Christina’s bed room.
It must be the season for large quilts here in Toowoomba. The quilt on the left has been made by Christina for her sister and it is being quilted in the Nouveau Scallops e2e machine quilting pattern in a light green thread. Light green K1002 Marble Scroll backing and cotton wadding supplied by KoolKat Quilting. The Kaffe Fassett quilt is being quilted in the budget Debs Swirls e2e machine quilting pattern in a watermelon pink thread. Batik backing and bamboo wadding supplied by KoolKat Quilting.
