More Quilts from the Past

The studio is still in turmoil so I thought I would continue showing some photos of quilts I have designed and made in previous years.  Some of these quilts have been published as projects in Australian Patchwork & Quilting and Patchwork & Stitching and some were made as class samples.

Goodness, Frances, you certainly have a collection, and so varied, too. I like Westward Ho the best out of this batch. I love the pattern and the colors both!

Again I would have a difficult decision to choose my favourite. Did you know that there is a place called Westward Ho? It is on the North Devon coast.

Thanks again for sharing some of your past quilts. Love them all so much, but especially drawn to Learning Curves, and With Compliments [perhaps the simple colour schemes, perhaps the contrasts???]. Congratulations on another great 'quilt show'.

I love all your quilts Frances, but my favourite is the Westward Ho as well. I like the colours and the design. I am not a quilter, but I am in awe of those who are, and the amazing quilts they produce.

Pickle Dish, DWR and friends

Well its been a while but I have been inspired to post after seeing my quilt "In a Pretty Pickle" on the cover of the latest "Homespun" magazine https://www.facebook.com/frances.leate with the full project instructions featured inside with a brief profile about me.  This quilt was machine pieced and quilted on my Bernina domestic machine. "In a Pretty Pickle" by Frances Leate featured in Homespun, November 2017 Issue The Double Wedding Ring quilt with its melon shapes and curved centres has inspired me to design a series of quilts in this style.  One of these designs was "Ring of Roses" which featured solid arcs rather than pieced ones with applique on the centre pieces and melons.  This quilt was published as a project in Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol 25 No 12.  I hand pieced and hand appliqued this quilt using the fusible applique method and then quilted it on my domestic Bernina.

Blogger's Quilt Festival

  Its that time of year again when Amy over at Amy's Creative Side  is organising an online quilt festival so I thought I would add my quilt "Concerto for Mixed Peel" to the all the fun.     "Concerto for Mixed Peel" by Frances Leate This quilt is approximately 78" square and has been created using the Orange Peel block in three different sizes.  The blocks were hand appliqued using the fusible method with blanket stitch.  I chose this method of applique as I needed a very portable project at the time and this proved to be just the thing.  I  quilted "Concerto for Mixed Peel" on my Bernina 440 machine in a simple style and then added the scalloped edging.  It was commissioned by Australian Homespun magazine and the brief was for a quilt using the orange peel block, thirties style fabrics and to be bright and fresh in colour.  The project was published in Homespun No. 105 Vol 13 No 2.     Till next t...

Quilt Patterns on Cosy Project

Image
I am delighted to see two of my quilt designs now up on Cosy Project where a pattern can be purchased and downloaded.  First up is the quilt I named "Concerto for Mixed Peel" because the peel block is in three sections with the blocks differing in size.   Find out more here:  https://www.cosyproject.com/mixed-peel-quilt "Concerto for Mixed Peel" by Frances Leate Another project on this site is my quilt design "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" which uses a background fabric, a contrast one (I used a fuchsia colour) and approximately 20 fat quarters of various florals.  The name for this quilt was chosen because of the predominant use of the "Contrary Wife" block and also the fact that the given name for both my husband and my own mother was Mary although contrarily neither was known by this name.   See more here:   https://www.cosyproject.com/mary-mary-quite-contrary "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" by Frances Leate The Cosy P...
