Caramel Kisses Quilt by Lynda



A delicious quilt impeccably pieced by Lynda, makes me want to go out and get a salted caramel chocolate bar, or ice-cream!  Caramel Kisses was part of a block of the month program at a local quilt shop.

Paisley Max pantograph by Jodi Beamish and a rust coloured thread complete this appealing quilt.

I think love is caramel. Sweet and fragrant; always welcome. It is the gentle golden colour of a setting harvest sun; the warmth of a squeezed embrace; the easy melting of two souls into one and a taste that lingers even when everything else has melted away. Once tasted it is never forgotten. ~ Jenny Colgan

Fortune Cookie Quilt by Sharron



I think Sharron had this quilt top for a while, possibly hoping to quilt it herself, I’m glad she brought it to me.  I wasn’t sure which photo I liked better, one shows the colours so nicely

And the other features the quilting.

Sharron had a lovely cushion already finished that matches this quilt, she wanted the quilting and  thread to match what she had already started.  We decided on a Rainbow variegated thread the Entangle pantograph.  I should have taken a picture of the cushion, however it was a good match.

For some reason I took a picture while the quilt was on the machine, I like how it turned out.

I always like back art and I think it’s nice to make use of fabric that we have, so of course I like what Sharron did with the back of her quilt.
