25.01.2022 Are you sewing gifts and accessories for the Christmas season? Batch sewing is going to save you time in the long run. Then you can relax with the cuppa you deserve after a good sewing session. (or wine...) #sunflowerstitcheriesandquilting #hintsandtips #batchsewing

25.01.2022 'It's A Garden Party' Row Along has started and I am inspired by all the fabulous designs available. Some are released already, some are yet to come. You can choose blocks and make a totally unique quilt with the blocks available, all with a garden party theme. Check out the schedule listed on the blog, and keep checking it as there are more blocks being released each week until mid October. #itsagardenpartyrowalong

23.01.2022 Quilts heading home today are made by Carol. The first one a soft flannel back and front with a pantograph called Tendril. The second a revitalise of a 20 year old quilt, looks good hey! Just needed some fresh wadding and Carol opted for a snuggly flannel backing as well. Quilted in Zephyr pantograph . Also I love to hear about family members that appreciate the gift of a quilt. They understand the time and effort that goes into making the quilt and cherish that they were cho...sen to recieve such a gift. . #sunflowerquilting #longarmquilting #clientquilt #tendril #pantograph #zephyr See more

08.01.2022 The best way I can describe a long arm machine is a domestic machine on steroids. If you've never seen a longarm here a pic of me with mine, so you can see the size. I'm standing at the back to do a pantograph. I do custom work from the other side. My machine is 23 inches long and the frame is 12 feet long. KS quilts - no problem. ... #sunflowerquilting #longarmquilting #a1quiltingmachines

08.01.2022 A bit later than planned but I did promise a full pic of the quilt with the new cat panto. . The colors did not photograph well and my fiddling with filters may not have helped. . The quilt has a white background and we used a pale pink thread.... . #sunflowerquilting #longarmquilting #clientquilt #pantograph #cat-astrophe See more

07.01.2022 As we head into the end of year busyness I just wanted to encourage you to check your supplies and the projects you have planned for your holidays or days off. Do you have all you need, make a shopping list for the rest or order online to have it ready for those blissful days sewing and creating. Planning ahead and having it on hand will be so much more satisfying. #sunflowerstitcheriesandquilting

03.01.2022 We're reviving the SSQ Finish Along in 2021! As a quilter I am part of the finishing process for a quilt but something I love is seeing you all enjoy those projects you have made. To enjoy or give away a project, you need to finish it right! Join me in 2021 for 4 rounds of Finish Along. More info on the blog. .... Also my quilting schedule is closed for 2020 but I am accepting bookings for 2021 from February. January is my sew-like-crazy-for-myself month and a bit of time with my lads. #sunflowerstitcheriesandquilting #ssqfal2021 #finishalong2021 #longarmquiltingservice See more
