Recently finished quilts (1 of 2)

Susan has been taking an online course learning to use Westerlee machine quilting rulers. At the end of the course, the quilted class pieces are put together into a stunning quilt. Susan used a subtle print for the joining strips and a variegated thread for the quilting. She found the course both challenging and rewarding, and obviously very effective!





Yvette spent three years making her ‘Dear Jane’ blocks, using foundation paper piecing and appliqué. Note that the blocks are four inches square as you look at the close ups and contemplate the scale of the individual pieces! 

This quilt was the last one Yvette finished on her long arm machine before packing it up for storage and an interstate move. We’ll miss you Yvette, and thank you for all that you have contributed to Fairholme.
