Do you have a quilting style?

 I definitely think Rachaeldaisy does.....



I was privileged to attend a truck show by Rachael 

today...



Here is a sample of just some of the quilts she shared...



Apart from this one, an earlier one....

I think Rachael's style is definitely hers....

distinctive and recognisable for its colour and vibrancy!

Maybe that's because she is a designer in the true 

sense of the word.

Me, I'm an imitator, making others designs my own with 

my fabric choices.

But I'm good with that!

You know what they say about imitation being the 

highest form of flattery.

I get joy from the making and the giving of quilts, not 

designing them.

I'd really like to have a go at these Pine Burr blocks.

My friend Deb bought the pattern and I had a quick 

look.


And Nifty Quilts has a tutorial of the round version here 

I certainly won't be making one like this...

Although Rachael jokingly said there were only none 

blocks to make....

not counting all the others smaller blocks needed to 

make it!


Do you think you have a quilting style, recognisable as 

yours?

I can think of another few bloggers that do!

Happy days!

Anna's Visit- Part II

In the evening Anna spoke for over 90 minutes 

about her creative journey

and the quilts that were part of it!


A colour study quilt, one of her early ones!


It was great to see the Feather quilt!

She remade it for her son, in a new design, with 

some of her favourite 



 Denyse Schmidt fabric.

She is a fan of a sawtooth border,

  
something I want to use in a quilt sometime soon!

There were various versions of "Folk Flowers".

  This one caught my eye for that stunning pink...

its a Free Spirit solid called "Tropical"!

This one was made for one of her daughters...

  she kept it hidden from her all throughout the 

making process!

Anna Maria has been collaborating with other fabric 


designers to produce a carefully curated range 




called Conservatory!


 These two quilts were made from these ranges...



When the talk was over we were given the 


opportunity to look at all the quilts close up!



Another sawtooth border!


Folk Flower in its different colourways!




And finally, this one is to showcase an upcoming 

range!


 Interestingly it is a little more traditional in its block 

setting.

But still an inspiration in every way!

Oh, and this one because it's just perfectly pretty!


Happy sewing!
