This is my scrappy drunken path quilt I made years ago. I didn't like it anymore, so it was put away. I pulled it out to practice a pantograph pattern with my Nolting long-arm and it looks fab now! Quilting really changes the look!
This is a block I made for my Baltimore quilt. I wanted a grape wreath and Alex Anderson had this pattern in The Quilt Life magazine. I traced it and sewed it and then discovered the leaves were fixed on with a steam a seam or similar product. I had needle turned them all!!! Must remember to read the pattern next time!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I've called it The Running Peacock Quilter as these are my two favourite hobbies! I love making quilts and following what is happening in the quilting world. I have just extended this with the purchase on a Nolting longarm quilting machine. I have been busy practicing my quilting skills on my own quilts, my mothers quilts and charity quilts. The running side is because I enjoy getting outside and going for a nice run (well jog actually as I'm a bit slower than the marathon runners!) Today I completed a 10km run as part of the Wellington Armstrong Motors Marathon. I ran it with my running buddy and we finished faster than our target time.
