I can finally show you more of the quilt made by Linda Collins from Quilts in the Barn which I quilted a few months ago. Linda's quilt "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" has just been published as a project in Australian Country Craft and Decorating Vol 22 No 6. The magazine came out today and I have managed to pick up a copy. It is always great to see a quilt you have worked on in a magazine.
Linda's quilt was inspired by a bundle of fabrics and a Dresden Plate wedge purchased at the Australian Quilt Convention earlier this year. During a retreat that same weekend, she played with both the fabrics and the wedge, desiging this quilt. The result is a stunning quilt based on a traditional design.
I quilted Linda's quilt with swirling feathers in between the dresden plates and along the borders. The dresden plates are quilted with continuous curves and a small feather flower in the centre.
Congratulations Linda on having your beautiful quilt published. Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows would make a great holiday project - remember to pick up your own copy of Australian Country Craft and Decorating.
Linda has picked the perfect name for her joyous quilt!! Isn't it a showstopper!! Your quilting is exquisite as usual, really adding an extra dimension.
