Pandemonium Completed

After four days and almost 1500m of thread there is one very happy quilt owner in Gatton this evening.

As I have to make my daughter's wedding dress I delivered it this afternoon.  I did not  count all the circles and I didn't ask the owner how many there were.  I will find out when it hangs at our State Quilt Show in two months.


I need to get a longer rod for this wall if I am going to take photos of finished quilts on it. This quilt was 90" x 90" and larger than my rod and longer than my wall.

The owner took 9 months and 1 week to piece and applique this beauty.  After all that time a quilt she no longer wanted to see again, is being petted, loved and admired all over again.

Congratulations GC it was a huge task but I enjoyed the challenge.

Pandemonium Day 3

Another 70 blocks completed and I can now see the end of the quilt.  I have rolled the quilt all the way on and quilted the last row even, so I could make sure everything was keeping straight.  The owner keeps checking on Facebook and says it is looking good so that is what really counts.

So 28 blocks to finish on Wednesday.  Which means I am starting to sew my daughter's wedding dress on Thursday.   That gives me just under three weeks to get it finished, and her quilt, and my own skirt...... Doable.  :)

Pandemonium Day Two

64 blocks completed today.  That takes me close to 40% of it quilted.  It will now be three days until I  get back to it.

This was the largest block for today before I quilted it.  Forgot to take a pic with my camera before I rolled it on.
If  I could work out how to get photos from my phone to the computer it would be handy.

This was the second largest block for today. It has 133 quilted circles on it,  Was even brave enough that I videoed myself with my  phone and posted it on my facebook page.
Love the Glide feature of my machine and the Bliss wheels too.  One hand quilting while I was videoing.

Pandemonium Day One

Day one of Kim McLeans Pandemonium quilt for a customer.  This quilt is 90"x90" largest background area is about 6square inches.  Lots of teeny tiny applique.  Bright colours from the same customer who did Flowerpots.  40 blocks quilted, have no idea how many more to do.

Kim McLean's Flower Pots

 My customer loves to do applique quilts.  Usually she would be a traditional quilter, but the colours of Kim McLean's patterns with Kaffe Fassett fabrics have appealed to her.

All freehand except for the centre circles on the outer appliqued circles.

Thread So Fine Fiery Opals,  Omni Wild Lavendar and Bottomline Silver.

The wadding was Nuwool which gave a great definition to the shapes quilted.

This is the Flower Pots quilt.  Customer asked for "quirky but not heavily quilted."

She was rapt when I dropped it off to her today.

 Love the look of the back with the early morning sunlight on it.
