Seeing Stars.
I am trying to make 24 of these. Still not at the half way mark !
At The Machine
Steady rain for most of the day here so a good excuse to stay in. I used my time to start quilting this quilt made with Kaffe Fassett fabric. Just using cross hatching. Sounds simple but lots of concentration needed to keep those lines straight.
A Good Week.
It seems to have been a busy week, but that’s fine. I have manged to achieve most of the things I had planned. I have made a good start on the needleturn for the Butterfly Garden quilt. I have nearly completed cutting out my beautiful Leesa Chandler fabric – Under The Australian Sun. And to […]
Roadwork and Blossom.
Strange combination – roadwork and blossom. Roadwork first. I started the quilt using the Little Hot Rod fabric from South Seas Imports. Like many fabric companies they have patterns for many of their ranges. This was the one I used to start the quilt – here. It was very quick to put together as all […]
Planning For The Week Ahead.
Lots of preparation needs to be done this week for a variety of projects to be started or continued. I have reached the point with my Butterfly Garden blocks, (Leanne’s House), where all the embroidery is done but not the applique. I did start off by doing both the embroidery and the needleturn on each […]
Continued Progress.
I have been able to continue working on the tops I basted and have now quilted a second one. This one now is also waiting for binding. I have used a combination of fat quarters in this quilt and I think the colours have a Summer feel about them. I have also been able to […]
Catching Up.
I seem to have accumulated a few quilt tops and decided I needed to get some quilting done. Over the weekend I was able to baste 4 tops, mainly because none of them were too large. I was even able to start quilting one of the smaller ones yesterday and then managed to finish it […]
A Bake Shop Quilt.
Last year in July there was a quilt in Moda Bake Shop that caught my eye. It used half square triangles of Winter Song and was made by Jodi of Simply this that and the other. The quilt used turnovers. I wasn’t able to get turnovers but did find a couple of charm packs and […]
Making Progress.
I have had some time at the sewing machine over the last weeks and have made good progress on two quilts. The dotty quilt top is together and has had a thin white border added. I am going to add an orange border as well to frame it, then will have to decide how to […]
Winter Weather
Yesterday was cold, wet and windy. Just a perfect day for staying inside and sewing. I decided to share my time between two projects. The first is a snowball quilt I have been making with a variety of pink fabrics. I did straight stitch quilting between the rows to secure the quilt. I am planning […]
