Flowering Snowball Quilt

My Flowering Snowball quilt is finally finished and proudly displayed on my bedroom wall! :) 

It has taken me quite a while to complete and this was one of those quilts that make it fun to make - every minute of it. :) 

Probably one of my best works so far! Definitely, one made with the brightest fabrics! :-) 

I used Hobbs Wool batting here and it was a total joy to quilt it on my longarm. The wool has given the quilt nice puff and softness - I love wool batting! 

Enjoy yourselves and your quilting! :-)) x

Edinburgh - Melbourne MQG Mini Quilt Swap 2015

Now that my swap partner has received her mini, I can show it off here and once again - admire!! :-)

Sooo, back in summer we, the Edinburgh Modern Quilt Guild, decided to organise a swap with another modern quilt guild. I volunteered to  contact the guilds to see who wants to swap with us! And we were very lucky when the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild rep Maryjane responded to say they would be very keen! How exciting!!! 

When I asked Eleri Stephens, my swap partner from Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild, if she likes Liberty fabrics (we agreed between our guilds to use the fabrics from the UK and Australian designers respectively!), she gave me a challenge to create a modern quilt with traditional Liberty! Well, I think the combination has worked beautifully. :) 

Even more! I mistakenly cut twice as many pieces of fabrics than needed - which means I will make a copy of this very quilt and keep in for myself! :-)))) So, watch this space! :) xx

These are the pics of the quilt before I washed and dried it - and to me, it means unfinished yet! As I love those crinkles after washing! :)

Work in Progress... Gosh, that was such a joy to quilt! :))

And this is my swap partner Eleri with her lovely wee quilt - all the way from sunny Scotland! With Love from Tatyana xxx
