Finally February.
Posted on | February 6, 2026 | No Comments
It has taken until February for me to finally post a sewing item. I thought I would have had time to do this earlier, but obviously there have been a lot of distractions. But I am now spending time in my lovely sewing room, and definitely enjoying it!
This quilt is one of many started a while back. It was close to finished, but then was put aside as others came along. I am making an effort to work on all of them. There are not as many as I thought, thankfully. Seven found so far. I am realistic because I haven’t checked everywhere just yet.
This quilt was started when we were all going crazy for Denise Schmidt fabric. I bought pieces with no plan in mind. In the end I settled on this tumbler design. It has ended up at 55 inches square. I was able to finish sewing all the tumblers together and found I had plenty of fabric left for the borders.
I did have to add some blues to the mix and that was the first border before the wider one of DS fabric.
I also used the leftovers for backing. Again the blue came in handy just to make it the right width.
By this stage I had run out of DS stash, so found some blue with white dot for the binding.
I used the repeated teardrop design for the quilting. It seems good for adding texture.
So there we go. First finish for the year. And about time! I am glad to be back to some regular sewing.
Enjoy your weekend. Cheers, Karen
