Inspirational quilting and quilt labels are a must…
Jul
Do you love Judi Madsen’s amazing quilting?
Judi has recently released a new book and I’ve been waiting patiently for it to be available and arrive.
Introducing Serenity Quilt Book by Judi Madsen (self published)
Judi’s newest project “Serenity” is a must have for your next quilting adventure. She will take you through 4 possible quilt layouts and amazing quilting designs. She even adds curves to this newest project. Take your quilting to another level with this top notch quilting design. This book includes the instructions to piece the quilts and how to quilt them. You’re going to love it!
I have limited copies and have put these on sale until 31st July.
Sometimes we just need the inspiration and belief that we can create such beauty and Judi is a master at simple straight lines using her A1 Quilt Ruler and curves to make that happen.
Do you remember to label your quilts? I always suggest to my customers (after I’ve quilted their quilts) that labels are really important. Whether they be simple ones to show that you made this with love to gift, or whether they are more detailed with materials used, care instructions, recipients details etc
For some I like to personalise a label and embroider, paint and embellish it as well.
Recently I’ve discovered these great resources that can be used many times each to ‘iron-on’ wonderful designs to then embroider, stitch, paint over to truly become a work of art on your quilt. Whether you put it on the front or back it will look amazing.

Then get creative and stitch or color the labels to match your style or the project—each image will transfer several times.

Thankyou for your patience recently whilst we went on our epic outback South Australian holiday with our friends! 12 days away camping off-grid was a new experience. We encountered many dirt roads and mud along the way, but we got through pretty much unscathed! This was our home whilst away.
All orders that were made during that time have been sent and should have been received by now. It’s always a struggle to catch up after a break, both in mind and body. But I think I’m there…
There are quite a few more ‘new’ items in the shop that I’ve not let you know about. You can always see these on the home page under latest products. However a few have dropped off before I’ve even let you know, which I apologise for.
ONE very exciting new addition to Constantine Quilts is the NEW colours of Wonderfil Specialty Threads Konfetti range. Another 60 colours to choose from!
That means we now have the full range of 120 colours of this wonderful 100% cotton – 50wt thread so you can find the perfect match for your project.
Back in May I had a fantastic busload of quilters come visit my studio which prompted me to do rearrange everything to fit everyone in so they could clearly see what I have here. Normally I’m an online shop only and a machine quilting studio. Open by appointment to drop quilts off. So not really setup for easy browsing of products.
Here are a couple of pictures when everything was tidy and easier to see.
Just some of my wide backing collection – many more bolts in another area.
My toy sewing machine collection is finally on display all together in one cupboard!
Clare Quilters
It was great to host them and see all the new inspiration they were taking home from visiting 3 shops here on Yorke Peninsula in one day.
Keep an eye out for our next newsletter where there just might be a sale on ALL 8 ranges of Wonderfil Specialty Threads that we now stock…
Until next time…. happy quilting
