  • Flower designs
  • Leaf designs
  • Feather designs
  • Heart designs
  • Geometric designs
  • Designs to suit children’s quilts and many more

Meandering


A continuous design worked all over your quilt which may include flowers, loops and swirls.


Stippling


Medium to dense stippling covering large areas of your quilt top.


Stitch in the Ditch/Outlining


This is one of the most time consuming styles of quilting. The quality of the ditch stitching depends on the piecing and pressing of your quilt. If you would like ditch stitching, please ensure your seams are well pressed and flat.


Custom Quilting


Including stitch in the ditch, outlining and echo quilting, individual motifs, block and border designs, feathers and McTavishing.


Machine Basting


A machine basting service is available for hand quilters, or those who would like to quilt on their domestic machine. This means no more crawling around the floor, taping, pinning and hand basting. Simply drop your quilt to Sharon and it comes back ready for you to quilt. 


Binding Service


A binding service is available if required.
