WE cannot thank you all enough for the support and encouragement we receive for our designs.
A HUGE thank you to the 63 ladies who joined us for Summer School yesterday. WE LOVED IT and we saw some amazing work being done.
So here is a very 'picture heavy' post of Braeside.
A large English paper pieced and appliquéd quilt....
This is Lisa's before and after quilting.
This is Lou's:
And here is the Braeside Birds mini quilt. Lou's on the left & Lisa's on the right:
We've included this one to show you what a difference quilting makes.
Lisa hand quilted hers and Lou's is machine quilted. Lou's was 'sucked in' over a 1/4" once quilted.
Lisa's is much more relaxed with the soft hand quilting.
and some close ups:
Before and after being stitched and pressed...
Patterns are available now at Lilly Patches and Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop.
Mandy at The Fabric Parcel will have her patterns by the end of the week (fingers crossed) with other shops to be not to far behind....
Hope you all find some time for stitching,
Lou & Lisa
