ABOUT ME ")

My name is Nicole Reed and I am a ‘machine quilter for hire’ based in Kingaroy, in Country Queensland, Australia. I operate this service using a Avante Q18 HandiQuilter Quilting Machine with the Q-Bot computerised system. Quilting with a computerised system is good news for my clients because the results are better. My machine produces even, regular stitches and stitches-out a precise

and accurate design. A wide selection of quilting designs are available and so finding just the right pattern to suit your quilt will be an easy choice for you. I have been quilt-making and crafting for many years, so my knowledge about all aspects of patchwork and quilting is extensive and I have been helping other quilt makers complete their quilts since the year 2009. I am passionate about quilting so rest assured I will treat your quilt with the highest regard. If you are looking for a quilter to finish your quilting project, you can be confident that here at Darvanalee Designs you will receive quality service, at a fair price and the work will be completed for you in quick time. If you have not commissioned a machine quilter previously, I will be happy to explain all aspects of the quilting process. I can help you finish your quilts by machine quilting the top (in either a light custom style or an edge to edge design) and then, if you want, bind your quilt so it is ready to use. This can be very useful for those people who like to make the quilt tops but don't have the time or the inclination to quilt them - these are the quilts that end up stuffed in a cupboard, never to see the light of day again. Wouldn't it be better to have your quilts finished so you can use them? Or even so you can have the excuse that you need to make some more!! Actually, you don't need that excuse - having more than one quilt in progress is a good thing (though my husband would dispute that!). I use Signature, SoFine and Bottom line threads, depending on colours available and/or your preference. Thread cost is included in the quilting cost. Specialty threads can be supplied - just ask. This all looks very complicated but it really isn't. However, I am happy to talk about it over the phone or by email if you would prefer. You can contact me on either

🧵✨ Hey, hey, my crafty friends! ✨🧵

I’ve been making some more progress on the Birdsville Cushion by Wendy Williams, and I am honestly having so much fun with this wool felt project! 💖

Today, I spent some time putting down more fancy stitches, including French knots, long stitches, and whimsical cross stitches. Slowly but surely, this beautiful project is starting to come together, and I’m getting further along each week! 🪡✨

I still have a TON of embroidery left to do, and in that little section you can currently see without leaves or embellishments, there will eventually be a gorgeous bottom garden filled with lots of tiny little details and bits and pieces 🌿🌸

I’m super excited to keep working on this, so be sure to tune in next week as I add even more stitches to the project!
And don’t forget about Slow Stitching Saturday, where I’ll also be spending some more cozy stitching time with this piece 🧵☕

Make sure you’re subscribed to Darvanalee Designs Studio with Nicole Reed for more crafty goodness, slow stitching, tutorials, and creative inspiration 💕
