Student and Customer Quilts


I love getting photos of my students completed work and also of customer projects created with our fabrics. When I think of the thousands of metres of fabric we have dyed - it is great to see how it has been used.
Here is a collection.
Kathryn made my Party Time Quilt

Linda is a member of my Monthly Metres Club and has told me she loves using the fabrics in her projects. The bag is also from my fabrics and was in the recent bag Challenge at the Textile Arts Festival.
The Four Seasons, for her mother-in-law

Forest, for Dijanne Cervaal's KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Challenge

Judy Warner in the US is also one of the Monthly Metres Club members and this is her piece called Dance for the 3 Creative Studios 2010 Challenge.

Cutout Magic


Isn't this a wonderful version by Adele Preen who followed the DVD to make her own version. She wrote that she had adapted the size and also did blanket stitch around the shapes as it is to be a bed quilt and get more handling than a wall hanging.

Didn't she do a fabulous job?

Now that the magazine is no longer available in stores you can always buy them from me with the DVD. I also have fabric kits available.

Skipping Boys Quilt


This gorgeous quilt by Carolyn was made with some of my rainbow packs and a few metres of blue. Didn't she do a wonderful job?
And the backing fabric is just so cute too.

Wonderful Works


I always love it when students and customers send me photos of their work made either in workshops or from our fabric.

Judy in the USA is a new member of our Monthly Metre Club and has already been inspired to make this landscape using her latest fabric. You can join up to the Club too at http://www.dyedheaven.com/store/clubs/

I thought you might enjoy seeing the art quilt that I made from one monthly metre that you sent me. There is only one tiny piece of a mountain in the quilt that is not from one of your monthly metres. It is a scene adapted from a photo I took of some rice fields near Kyoto. I was absolutely fascinated when the metre arrived and I realized it had every color I needed from sky to green fields to mountains. The piece is a 12 inch square. Much thanks - I look forward to receiving many, many more metres.

These were some of the Fabrications quilts which were produced in my class for Western Quilters in Auckland
