This is a very pretty quilt made by the lovely Kath. I longarm quilted it using the Swirl 2 quilting design from Designs by Vickie using white thread. This quilt is so fresh looking and light as a feather because Kath chose Quilter’s Dream Puff wadding. To my surprise it stitched like a dream. I love the simple blocks used in this quilt. This block would be great to use up scraps. This is one to add to my To-Do List. Well done Kath.

Although the sun was shining and should have been enjoying being in the garden I decided to play with the longarm quilting system. So I worked on Judith’s quilt. I believe this block design lends itself to using Jelly Rolls but Judith used fat quarters or metre lengths. I longarm quilted it using the Flirtatious design from Timeless Quilting Designs and using a Rich Sand colour thread. All in all I would say this quilt will be treasured by the recipient. Well done Judith.
Today is longarm quilting day in happy quilter land. This lovely fresh quarter log cabin quilt pieced by Kate is only her second quilt ever. The quilt will be used by the lovely Pippa also known as Darling. Kate chose the butterflies and loops quilting design and white thread. I suggested the white thread because it suits the vintage look of the fabrics. The combination is great. I’m sure Pippa will love the quilt her mamma spent many hours making. Keep up the good work Kate.
Here is my longarm quilting effort for today. This is actually one of my own quilts. I pieced it using a Jelly Roll and some metre lengths for the borders. It was a very simple make and believe it or not my Sarah claimed it as her own even before I finished piecing it. I longarm quilted it using the Splat design by Designs by Vickie and aqua coloured thread. This photo doesn’t really capture the freshness of the quilt. This evening I will be doing the best part of any quilt which is hand finishing the binding!
I’ve been playing with the longarm quilting system today on this lovely bright star variation quilt. Pam chose the Stars and Loops quilting design by Designs by Vickie and a pale gold thread which blends in beautifully with all the lively fabrics. The quilting design is perfect for girls and boys.
I spent the day in the sewing room longarm quilting this fantastic Japanese Print fabric quilt. The lovely Loretta pieced this quilt using a fine selection of Japanese style prints. I longarm quilted it using the Water Lilies quilting design by Georgette of the Quilters Niche and 100% cotton thread in a pale gold colour. The overall effect is fantastic.
I loaded this quilt into the longarm quilting system earlier this week. Today I got up at stupid o’clock and hit the go button because I wanted to be able to finish up a bit sooner than usual. This lovely French Braid type quilt in lovely girly colours was longarm quilted using the Swirl design from Designs by Vickie and a soft pink thread. It looks absolutely beautiful. This quilt is fit for a little princess. Kath chose a beautiful palette of colours for this one. It’s fresh and very sweet. Longarm quilting quilts like this one make the job worth doing.
It’s been a pretty busy week for this happy longarm quilter. I haven’t had the time to post any of the work I’ve done this past week. So here’s a little peak at a few bits I have worked on since last Sunday.
There are some interesting things about to happen for this happy longarm quilter pretty soon. So be sure to check in regularly.
This lovely quilt top in several shades and prints of purple was pieced by Joan. This is only Joan’s second quilt I believe. She’s done a very good job on this one. I longarm quilted it using the Cotton Puffs quilting design by Vickie of Designs by Vickie using a 100% cotton thread colour called Delphinium which blends in really well. The photo doesn’t really do it justice. All these quilts are always better seen up close and in person.
This is what I have been working on today. Elizabeth pieced this quilt using several of my favourite fabrics. I longarm quilted using a quilting design named A Little Bit of This and a thread colour called Rich Sand. I think Elizabeth selected the perfect design for the job. And something else I’m really pleased about, Elizabeth pieced her back using a small selection of fabrics. It’s like going back to basics. I’ve made two quilts over the past year and pieced the backs using scraps. I think it’s a great idea. Well done Elizabeth.
