For a pattern designed in a weekend as occupational therapy while Geoff and a friend went camping, Bali Butterfly has proved to be Kathy Adams’s most popular pattern during her decade of experience as a quilt pattern designer. Several hundred Bali Butterflies have winged their way to many parts of the world, especially in the US and also have swarmed throughout Australia. It is purchased regularly by quilt shops and distributors. Kathy has taught classes in this pattern throughout western and south western Queensland, while it has been purchased in bulk by quilt instructors as far north as Bali and Mount Isa down to northern NSW. It has also featured in quilting retreats in Bali. The pattern has been made in many colour combinations and sizes. One particular fan of this pattern has made it several times, including one king size quilt where the design was used as the centre panel. Happy birthday Bali Butterfly, the pages of this blog testify to Kathy’s very inspired weekend some years ago! Thank you all those who love this pattern and it is still part of Kathy’s teaching program.

This is Sue’s king size quilt from Roma. It will be a wedding gift. She asked for a western theme, or something with stars, so we chose the stars and loops e2e machine quilting pattern. We teamed this with a deep red backing and matching thread, after ensuring Sue was happy with a strong thread colour.
The first quilt is from Betty of Warwick who selected the budget leaf meander e2e machine quilting pattern for her quilt. The next quilts are a similar pattern, but one is for a boy and the other, a girl. Jan from Toowoomba chose the paisley playtime pattern for the girl’s quilt and the budget Deb’s Swirls for the boy’s quilt. The double wedding ring quilt is one of the first quilts made by Pauline from Booval and is being quilted in the budget meander pattern.
Lesleigh from Westlake in Brisbane is moving house and decided to have these quilts machine quilted during her move. The large quilt is being quilted in the budget I Love It trailing hearts e2e machine quilting pattern and the cot quilt with the budget meander e2e.
This pretty floral applique quilt arrived from Jennifer of Brookfield in Brisbane today. She asked for the clover e2e machine quilting pattern in a neutral thread.
