I don't usually sell my quilts - they take a long time and a lot of expense to make, plus I teach from them so I need to have the original quilt with me when I travel to classes. Also, I love them. Particularly the quilts that have a lot of hand quilting and applique. I love them to bits. So they hang around my house, get folded up on chairs, draped over beds, hung off ladders, and given to special friends, family and of course my boys.
However. There are only so many quilts one house can hold, and every now and then I do sell a few off. And so after MANY requests to sell the red colourway of my Made in Cherry quilt featured in Better Homes and Gardens this month, I have decided to sell all four.
Sorry though....the red quilt is already sold, but the pink and grey, eggplant and blue quilts are now for sale. Sorry the light is bad on these pics...if it would ever stop raining in Sydney I might be able to get some light!
The back of the blue quilt is a Japanese seersucker in a retro dot pattern. The quilting is done in light blue thread.
The eggplant quilt is a deep, rich browny purple that ges beautifully with the St Ives mauves and the purple Alexander Henry Heath fabric on the back.
The pink and grey quilt I think is my favourite. I love a pink and grey combo and I also love the huge swathes of my From Little Things check on the back!
I am also selling the Sandwich Short of a Picnic quilt (pattern in my book) that Erica made for me to take to Houston last year.
All these quilts have hung in my booth at Houston, and have been shown at my Schoolhouse. Please don't look at my face in this photo. :)
The star quilts are all 2m square and the Sandwich quilt is a King Single. They are all professionally machine quilted in a butterfly pattern by Kim Bradley my wonderful machine quilter. They are all made using my St Ives range of fabrics for Lecien, Japan.
If you are interested in any of the quilts please contact me at sarah@sarahfielke.com for prices and shipping estimates to where you are. Kits are still available for all 4 colourways at my website, or you can email me for meterage or fat quarter kits of St Ives or From Little Things. Happy quilting!
Dude, would you be interested in donating one to Oscar's school's Annual Moving Women's Lunch? It's being held next month, 16 March at the Hilton.

Hi Sarah, I know it will be a wrench for you to sell them but I hope they bring a great price as these are such beautiful quilts. People (non- quilters/ crafty people) do not realise how much time, money and skill goes into something like this. These are works of art!!
Thanks for sharing them with us, Fiona

I like the quilts and pink and brown are my favorite color. I think it is cheaper. I hope you can sell a lot.

Sarah,
How can tou part with them! I understand though my place is getting a bit like that, but I dont make large quilts. Hadn't seen the red quilt in Better Homes and Gardens, Bu I think its to die for.
