Mariner's Compass Weekend Retreat

 

 

I was invited to a retreat to do a Mariner's Compass Workshop, we stayed at a wonderful house in Samson near Fremantle.

The first lot of photo's are the beginning of the blocks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It didn't take to long before the blocks were made.

 

Rita plans to do a few more blocks and make a quilt.

 

Chris will make more blocks for a quilt.

 

 

Cassie is going to make a cushion.

 

Nikki will make a small quilt.

 

 

Val's block was quilted and made into a cushion. 

 

Eileen plans to make a few more blocks and turn them into cushions.

 

 

Janie will make a quilt.

 

 

All the blocks look great and I am looking forward to seeing the cushions and quilts all made up.

 

It was a great weekend and I look forward to our next workshop together.

Hexagon Quilting

 

When I received this quilt I really did not know what I was going to do.  

 

 

 

I thought I would carry the design through, so I digitized the star that was appliqued and stitched it inside the quilted hexagons.

 

Filling up all the space.

 

The stippled hexie was decided at the last minute.

 A few stars echoed floating in the stippling.

 

 

I quilted half stars in the half hexie border.

 

 

The applique stars were also quilted around.

 

Stars were quilted in the large hexagons.

 

 

 

 

Close up of the stippling.

 

 

Completed and I am happy with how it has quilted out.

 

 

Ready for pick up.

Labyrinth Quilting

 

This is my first custom quilting for 2014.

I was excited to start the quilting and happy with the result.

The quilt was made by a student at a workshop I had in my studio.

 Hope you enjoy the close ups.

 

 

 

Queen size.

 

 It is great when there is a plain back as you can flip the quilt just to show off the quilting.

 

Ready for pick up.

 

 

Thank you for taking a look
