"Apples for Jam" Quilt finished...

Here is a picture of my "Apples for Jam" Quilt...why the name...I am inspired by the book "Apples for Jam" at the moment, the beautiful recipes and gorgeous pictures...




I choose the name because these fabrics look like Apples and Strawberry Jam... and not to mention this quilt was super easy!!

"Apples for Jam" Quilt...fresh and fabulous!!

I bought these fabrics the other day and have decided to do a quick block quilt using large strips surrounded by one of the other fabrics to make large rectangles. Then I plan to join them all together like bricks, using a half block to square of the edges. Will post pictures as it is getting stitched together.... but here are the fabrics, are they yummy!! The are Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry and I got them from Hawthorne Threads and Fabric..

The Lyrebird at the Garden Gate Quilt


This is my latest creation..."The Lyrebird at the Garden Gate Quilt" using Tula Pink fabric range called "Plume", which is my most favourite fabric range!! I found the garden gate quilt design on "Hyacinth Quilt Designs" blog and thought,yes, this will do the fabric range justice and really make the colours of the fabrics 'pop'. I love this quilt....now off to the quilters I go!!

My Whimsical Garden


Here is a picture of my finished "My Whimsical Garden" quilt. I had an absolute blast making this quilt; to be able to use so many different colours and fabrics. I did try to use the fabrics only once throughout the quilt, but there are some double-ups, but only because I loved the fabric so much I had to use it twice... The quilt is from "Piece 'o' Cake" designs...

'Lorry's Flower Garden" Quilt...


It has finally made it - into "Country Threads' magazine, Vol 12 No 1. I sent this quilt off about 6 months ago to be in the magazine and it is finally in print!!

This quilt was created in remembrance of the garden I used to play in as a kid...at my Grandma's house...a garden full of lavender and stunning, fragrant roses....

Simple nine patch piecing and fairly easy applique work, made this quilt a joy to make.

I hope you all like it...

Until next time
Stay safe
