Trunk show


Welcome to the Wehago Designs Trunk Show! 


Thank you to Whims and Fancies for hosting this link up to the Trunk Show for 2015.  I encourage you all to go and check everyones quilts out here!
Storm at Sea
Storm at sea was made for my youngest daughter for her move from Secondary School to University Study.  I did not finish it until her second year of University.  It measures 93" x 96".  I paper pieced this using the Freezer paper method and I hand quilted this with Aurifil 28wt.  She loves it!
Allison's quilt
This quilt was made for my eldest daughter on her move from Secondary School to University.  she loved pink and green and butterflies.  So this is the quilt I came up with for her.  It is not as big as the other daughters quilt.  And I am in the process of making her a new quilt, it is green and orange with greys.  I am looking forward to finishing it for her next year.

Lana's Quilt
This was a quilt I made for my niece for her 21st Birthday. This was a very interesting pinwheel design.  I was really please with this. It was a lap size quilt.
Another 21st Quilt
This is a bargello quilt I made for a daughters 21st, I actually made two of these in about 6 weeks as I had two 21st gifts.  I hand quilted these also, just simply to emphasise the flow of the quilt.  Both girls loved their quilts.


Josh's Swans Quilt
This is another 21st quilt.  This was made this year for my daughters boyfriend who is a Sydney Swans Fan.  I designed the new york beauty block to emulate the Sydney Opera House which is in their emblem.  I made this into a quillow and I hand quilted this with 12 wt thread from Aurifil.  This quilt was quilted in under two weeks and a week to put together.  It was a few days late for gifting.

Moulin Rouge

This little art quilt is part of a competition called One Red Thread.  This is my interpretation of Bastille Day in Paris with the girls from Moulin Rouge out dancing in the streets.
2015 Pantone colour of the year quilt
This is my Pantone entry for 2015.  I hand quilted this quilt and I call it Time Warp.  I have used reproduction fabrics but pieced it modern and heavily quilted it with 28wt Aurifil thread to emulate a 3D pattern in the hexagon with background like pebbles




Hexagon Royale
Hey Grub! lets fly a kite!
These last two where also using the hexagon trim tool by creative grids like Time Warp.  I love this tool and am always thinking of more ways I can experiment with it.  Both of these quilts were machine quilted by myself

Charm Dance
This quilt was made for someone special to help cheer her up and give her comfort as she has some health issues.  I made this within a week.  2 days to piece it and 5 days to quilt it.  I hand quilted this with 12 wt Aurifil.  I used a large daisy and just quilted a swirly vine between the flowers
Snuggle/floor play quilt

in the snuggle ready for baby
This quilt was made and machine quilted by me also.  This was made for a new born and it has room for her as she grows and needs to play on the floor.  Her mum adores it as uses it all the time.





Thanks again

    1. Kathi I think it is impossible to pick an all time favourite! But I like most because of different eras or that they were made for different people. I hope this makes sense

  2. You have stitched some lovely quilts, all so beautifully different. Your hexies are very cool. How clever is your Moulin Rouge quilt and the bargello quilt shouts gorgeous clever and pattern. Your trunk is filled with so many stitching delights!

    1. Thank you Kim, i though I would give a run though of a few quilts I have done over the years. My hexies are my latest phase along with using charms and other little templates and rulers. I am planning on doing a BOM next year on my blog and am hoping lots of people will join me. I have some cool ideas coming for that also. 💐
