I have been rather AWOL from my blog lately, mainly because Januarys' are always so busy for me with tax deadlines.  Thankfully we are now in February and I am in full quilting mode again. 

 

This quilt was beautifully pieced by my customer Elaine made with some gorgeous Japanese floral fabrics, I love the contrast in this quilt.  It was a complete joy to work with and it was nice to quilt a design "Lorien Flower" not yet chosen before,  which quilted up very well over the large quilt.  I actually quilted this back in December, where does the time fly by?

 

Elaine chose a mauve/plum coloured thread which blended nicely accross the colours in the quilt.  The main threads which  I tend to stock and use are very subtle and light in texture, which do not tend to overpower the quilt.   I do also use heavier threads of course if my customers prefer, but on the whole most of my customers love my current "thread stash"   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It even has a pieced backing, which adds even more interest to this gorgeous quilt.
