Downloadable Quilting Pattern Catalogue
For those that are posting in, we have a catalogue of some of our favourite quilting patterns for you to choose from, please click the button below to download the PDF. We hope to add more patterns to the page soon. If you have a specific idea of pattern in mind and it is not included in the catalogue feel free to email or call and we can discuss what other patterns are available - for instance we even have a pattern of vikings in boats, granted we've only ever used this once, but it's really good.
With regards to thread colours when posting, we hope you can trust us to choose the right thread for your project, of course if you have a preferance please do let us know. Our aim whe quilting is to choose both pattern and thread to enhance your quilt without taking away from your patchwork and or applique.
