Commissions
 

Two of my favourite commissions are Lindsay's quilt and Annabelle's quilt. Pictures and details are below.

 

      "Lindsay's quilt"                                                           Details of quilt below

 

 

Commissioned in 2004 by  Ms. Felicity Johnson for her daughter Lindsay.

 

Size: 72" wide by 108" long.

 

Fabrics used: 100% cotton fabric and washable batting.

  

  

Technique: 9" cotton squares were pieced together to create the quilt top. Then a secondary design was created by free motion machine embroidery. These squares were embroidered on point. The quilt was then quilted in a grid pattern to reinforce the embroidery design.

                          "Annabelle's quilt"                                               Details of quilt below

 

 

Commissioned in 2006 by Mrs. Chrissy Erskine for her daughter Annabelle.

Size: 82" wide by 100" long.

Fabrics used: 100% cotton fabric and washable batting.

 

 

Technique: I drafted a 16 pointed star. Circles of fabric were pieced in squares and then the star template was placed on top of the squares, traced around, cut out and appliquéd by machine onto a second set of pieced squares. Then the 16 pointed stars, or Annabelle's flowers as I call them, were appliquéd onto the quilt top. The machine quilting was designed by me and was done by Kathy Schaerer on her long arm quilting machine.
