Quilt In - Our Lovely Guest Speaker

Julie Adamson

Julie decided to start quilting to reduce her stress levels.  By all accounts they were raised considerably once she started!  This cushion was Julie's first attempt at quilting.  I heard many of the ladies at the Quilt In say they'd be happy if their quilting was this "bad"!  If you'd like a better look at the pictures click on them and they'll enlarge.

As time went by Julie's quilting became more adventurous.  She began with simple and traditional quilting lines and then added to them with double stitching lines, extra cross hatching and echo stitching.

 

 

 

 

 

This quilt was the turning point for Julie.  She approached the quilting in a similar way to how a machine quilter would and then her quilting really took off!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This quilt demonstrated how Julie had used two different methods of quilting.  Julie used running stitch quilting around the edges and stab and stitch quilting in the centre.  She assures us that whatever method works for you is the correct method!  Don't pay any attention to those quilt police!

 

 

 

 

 

This is Julie's aware winning Tribute quilt.

 

 

And last but not least a small quilt made using silks and batiks.
