Kitchen Windows Repeat.
Posted on | October 20, 2023 | 9 Comments
I finally have a quilt to share. Both machines are still at the repair man, waiting for parts to arrive. I ended up piecing this quilt on the little machine that I borrowed, then had to send it away for quilting. Thankfully I was also able to complete the binding on the little machine.
The quilt is called Kitchen Windows and I have made this once before. My sister liked the design and chose the colours. She had a zero birthday so this was a special gift.
I had a lot of trouble getting a photo as it was a breezy day.
It certainly kept me guessing. Those little guys peeking under the quilt are the latest addition to the garden. They turned into a flock very quickly after starting with only one.
I hope they enjoy the clover. It grows better than grass in our lawn. (No, they are not real!)
Back to the quilt. All the fabrics are batiks. The quilting panto is very simple but very effective in creating texture on the quilt top.
Not sure if it can be picked up in the photo but a variegated thread has been used in the quilting and it looks great.
I used the same black in the binding as was used in the blocks.
I combined two fabrics for the backing. I had some lovely sunflower fabric which I had used in another project (thanks, Joan). But there wasn’t enough for the full backing so I added a second to reach the size needed.
Last weekend it was rolled up, tied with a bow and gifted.
Great result with such a tiny machine.
I wish we had a place that hired machines out for when your own was being worked on. Wonder if that is a good idea for a business?
We have been making the most of the sunshine this week. Lots of time in the garden and a few visits to local nurseries for plants. Loving the Spring weather.
Hope you have a good weekend lined up.
Cheers, Karen

I love how you’re taking your photos on your garden porch, with all your beautiful flowers in bloom! You did a great job, considering the wind! And yes, love your new flock!!! I’m sure your sister loves the quilt!!! Happy birthday to her!!!
A delightful finish! And I do love your little flock!
Great result with the quilt…. it really looks like stained glass kitchen windows! Those little machines are workhorses often….
Well done with a wonderful finish…

What a very pretty quilt! I love the colors and the backing is perfect! What a cute little flock. I have some of those, too, but mine are miniatures. They turn up in unusual places. LOL!
What a lovely birthdays gift. Those are ‘my’ colours.
Beautiful quilt. Love the colours
Dont you feel lost when your machine is away getting serviced. You will have to watch those sheep, growing from one to three so quickly, you will end up with a big flock before you know it.
I like the quilt, looks like stained glass! Your little flock of sheep are adorable, what a fun addition to the garden art.
your talk of two machines needing to be fixed reminds me that I really need to take in one to be repaired or at least find out what is wrong with it before I have trouble with the other
