Customer quilts- Linen cushions and lots of feathers!

These are the second set of cushion covers I quilted for Alison who made the felted coin cushion covers that I posted about in a previous blog. You can see that here.
Again these were made from linen but this time with felt leaves.  Alison gave me free reign to do what I wanted.

 This is a small sketch I did before I started.

 I had to go over the leaf shape several times to get a nice thick line.  I used Glide threads and the wadding is Hobbs 80/20.

 I decided on a pebble background fading into bigger leaves around the edges.

Next up was the second quilt for Gail.  At first glance it seemed fairly straight forward but the blocks in the center were all different and there were two wide borders on two sides of the quilt.
Gail requested some feathers in the quilt.

 I love the autumnal colours of this quilt and the beautiful fabrics.

 I decided to do a continuous feather in the two large borders.

 In the center blocks I kept the design the same for all of them.  A large outlined feather going from corner to corner.

 I love how this quilt turned out. Happy to say Gail was very pleased too!

Thanks for visiting my blog today. Be back soon with more quilting!

Customer quilts

Hello there
I have recently started to do a few customer quilts.
This is one I finished.

 A simple circle design for the center section and some feathers and vertical lines for the borders.

                                                                            Back

My customer was very happy with what I did.  I confess it is a little nerve wracking working on someone else s work but I just pretended it was my quilt.
Next up was a lovely batik quilt.

This is the last quilt which will be worked with my Janome 1600p because my husband gave me the surprise of my life the other night when he told me he'd bought me the Q'nique 14+.
I am so unbelievably happy.  It is a dream come true.

Isn't it lovely ?
It arrived yesterday and I will be spending this week playing.
Happy days.
Hopefully have something to show you next time.
Happy sewing until then
Rhianon.
