Here is my new Stargazer Quilt Set shown on my Marmet Lady. I wanted to try something different and embroidered the lilies on my sewing machine on the dark navy background and added a crisp white lace frill. The 3D butterflies were also embroidered on my machine stiffened and then attached so that they seem to fultter slightly in a breeze or when the pram is moved. I haven't made a canopy cover for this yet. More photographs below, including some taken with the set on the Marmet Queen so that you can see what it looks like on different coloured prams.
This close up photograph of the large Lily motif on the quilt doesn't show the true colours I'm afraid because it was taken indoors and I have those eco bulbs which tend to give a yellow cast to everything. The photographs taken outside show the true colours I would say.
Rose Swag Quilt Set and canopy cover
Embroidered Rose Set
This is a beautiful set, extravagant without being overly fussy. There is a large rose spray embroidered in beautiful shiny thread onto the main part of the quilt and also on the pillowcase. On the quilt turnback there is a little butterfly which is repeated here and there on the canopy cover too. I just love this frothy lace, it is so different!
Gossamer fine lace with threaded ribbon trim
Another embroidered Rose set in red.
The butterflies on the canopy were completed in colours to tone with the red rose.
This is a very pretty quilt set I hope you'll agree. I fell in love with the fabric as soon as I saw it because it reminds me so much of the more traditional dressings for a coachbuilt pram. There weren't many of the really girly, frilly and lacey sets - which we tend to have now - when I was a little girl.
There are 3 distinctly different patterns on this fabric itself and I tried to use all three of them to best effect. There is a pretty double frill around the edge - each finished with rolled hems in a lovely shiny deep pink embroidery thread and then a 3 mm burgundy ribbon. I didn't want to go too OTT with this set and so I left it at that, why guild a lily? The fabric is poly cotton and so very easy care. I make my quilts with a separate removeable quilt inside a quilt cover and so this makes laundering very easy too.

This is the Butterfly Canopy Cover which I made to match the embroidered rose set
I added various motifs of butterflies to the cover, along with one or two 3D butterflies which do tend to move and flutter with the movement of the pram or the slightest breeze.

White Broderie Anglais set for large coachbuilt pram, trimmed very simply with blue 3 mm ribbon. The fabric is top quality traditional 5 hole broderie anglais, in pure white.
I thought this might be more suitable for the little boys than the very frilly 'pink' things that I am usually making. There are no rosebuds on this set, just a couple of bows here and there. This canopy cover has a cheeky little frill instead of the usual fringe to the edge of the canopy. I think it looks lovely on the Wedgwood pram.
Bobble pram covers. I made this pattern for crochet pram covers from an old crochet pattern that I found from the 70's and gradually it evolved to what it is today. It takes me a minimum of 2 weeks to make these, that's as long as I am not up to my eyes in other things, because I do them in my 'spare' time! ;-)
I can make them in any colour, but at the moment I have a navy and cream one and also a white one with lemon and blue bobbles, which are both finished.

Silver Leaf Pram Set and Canopy This is a beautiful pram set made in white taffeta material with leaves embroidered on it in silver metallic thread. I finished this set with silver ribbon and white fringing to the canopy.
Twinkly Set
This set was made very recently from a material which has glitter bonded to the surface of it, it really catches the light. I got the beautiful lace from America. It is trimmed with very narrow lilac ribbon and rosebuds.

I designed this Sweetheart Set around 5 hole broderie anglais and used ribbon rosebuds to make up the 'sweetheart'.
