Where has the time gone?

I didn't realise how long it had been since I posted here on my blog.   I have been busy quilting customer quilts as well as drawing and creating things for an exhibition of my work later in the year. 

This lovely quilt was made by Faridah from clothing offcuts - a true hand pieced quilt.  An unusual piecing of hexagons, but when you see it in real life, very rich and interesting.  Although the top was mostly polyester mix of some type ... you know, lots of shiny, slippery fabrics, it was still fairly easy to quilt on the longarm machine. I just had to go a little slower than usual.

Have you visited my other blog One Tangle... I post a new tangle drawing almost every day ... we are up to Day 281 today :)

Cheers for now ... happy quilting ... jane x

Longarm Quilting Starts for 2014

The quilting studio has been cleaned, the machine serviced, oiled and ready to go.  I can't wait to see what lovely quilts my customers will bring me in 2014.

First off is an edge to edge today and then I have a couple of wholecloth custom quilts to get finished. 

Happy Quilting everyone ... Jane xx

The Whole Quilt

This is the whole quilt ... beautiful tiny applique that I have stitched around each leaf and tree, I have then quilted bubbles into the background to give it texture without detracting from the simplicity of the piece.  I love it and my customer was very very happy.   Susan R does the most beautiful applique work and it is a pleasure to quilt it for her.

Happy Quilting for now ... Jane x

Bubbles for December

I have been madly quilting bubbles on this customer quilt I have loaded on my longarm quilting machine.   It is taking quite awhile, but is enjoyable just the same.   I think it is fitting to have bubbles for December :)  

Hope everyone is getting ready for the Christmas season and holidays.

A beautiful Autumn Quilt

 This quilt belongs to my customer LR...it has gone to Europe to live with her mother in law.   I just loved the colours that she used and how beautiful her borders were.   Very Autumnal...don't you think?

I quilted this with an Edge to Edge pattern called "Maple Leaf"

A close up.

If you have quilts that you wish to have finished, I can quilt them with an all-over pantograph (edge to edge) pattern for you with a one week turn around.  Reasonable rates.

Just email me jane@janemonkstudio.com  .. I'd love to hear from you.
