Friday 25 July 2008

DOUBLE DELIGHT

This is a quilt made by a lady called Alice Proudfoot. it was entered in the Victorian Showcase at the Exhibition Centre in Melbourne 2008.
It won the Matilda's Own Longarm Quilting award so l can say l am a award winning quilter now LOL.
This is my 1st award that l have won, to say l am walking on cloud nine is an understatement.
The quilt is called Double Delight as when Alice finished it she was delighted as it had taken her 2 years to finish, and when l finished quilting it l was delighted , hence the name.

ABOUT REDGATE QUILTING

Marlene began knitting/crocheting/sewing for her 2 daughters (Nicole & Amee) 20+ years ago. She found an interest in patchwork and quilting 10 years ago when attending a sampler patchwork and quilting craft class. This is where her love for quilting began.

After years of time consuming hand quilting and struggling with large quilts on a domestic sewing machine, the decision to purchase an American Professional Quilting System was made by Marlene and her husband Shane, and early in 2004, Redgate Quilting was formed.

Marlene works out of the small central Victorian country town of Alexandra. Alexandra was formerly known as Red Gate. Marlene has a keen interest in the history of Alexandra, hence the name Redgate Quilting.

In 2008 Marlene won the first of what’s sure to be many awards for her quilting. She has also been had quilts featured on a number of quilting websites and Australian Patchwork & Quilting Magazines.
