Quilt Patterns on Cosy Project

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.

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.

The Cosy Project site also has also published a profile on me and you can read it here:  https://www.cosyproject.com/cosy-community/cosy-designers/frances-leate

A lot of quilting has been going on in my studio over the last few months as I delve into cupboards and boxes to finish off lots of projects.  The next priority is now my chair full of quilts awaiting quilting both by hand and machine.

Till next time
Frances

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.

Distractions

 I have definitely been missing from my blog of late and one of the distractions is that I spend too much time on Facebook.  So for those of you that I don't see there I thought I would let you know that I am still alive although not so productive on the quilting side at the moment as I seem to start things but have not finished too much. Another distraction is the fun I have with my collections particularly reorganising my thimbles which come under many categories and besides decorative and novelty everyday useful ones. I also just love pin cushions and can never have too many. The squares on this narrow runner at the end of a bookcase filled with quilting books are gradually filling up with badges from various location. Of course there is the ever increasing owl collection.  Owls lurk in every corner and available space in my studio and seem to breed when the lights are out! Next time I will get back to quilting.
