Making Progress.
Posted on | April 27, 2015 | 17 Comments
It’s cold! I am trying to adjust to the quick change around from being hot and wearing short sleeves, to swapping into sweaters and shoes. This is only in a matter of two weeks.
Time has been well spent finishing off a quilt top.
This is a Viv Robinson design. Lots of raw edge applique. I have to check every block to make sure I have not missed any detail, then plan the quilting. (Just found a reindeer with-out eyes!)
It uses lots of fabrics from a variety of ranges from Lynette Anderson – plus a couple of others.
So, lots of thinking to be done.
The next part of the post is for Shez and Fiona who wanted to know what shopping I had done at AQC.
The photos will explain all.
Here are some of the lovely projects from the book.
I need to increase my supply of wool for these applique projects. A good aim for the next few months!
Have a great week and keep dry and warm
Cheers, Karen

What great goodies you have! I love that book, looks like lots of fun things to make.
It’s finally warm here…mid 70’s. 80’s next week.
In case you didn’t get a big enough (and fabulous) haul, you’re already thinking of the wool you’ll need to make some of the projects in the haul! A vicious circle, vicious, vicious! We just can’t have enough….ever!
Please tend to the blind reindeer…
Love this quilt of Viv’s Karen. In fact I just got mine out again at the weekend with the idea of finishing it this year. Lots of yummy purchases
Your quilt is gorgeous!! Looks like you had a great shopping adventure, I was gong to say it looks like you had Christmas on your mind, but there were a few other non-Christmas things bought as well!! Where will you start?!
I just love that Christmas quilt…. just stunning…. haha… great shopping… I do love seeing what people get and that wool book is great… do you want some of my self felted blanket wool… it’s a bit thick but might help your stash? (not sure if I’ve offerred or sent before!!!) x

Karen, your Christmas quilt is fabulous! Love seeing all those pretty purchases, especially love that book…wow, you will be busy this winter!
LOVE your Christmas quilt! It looks like you picked up some pretty nice stuff for future projects, too. Does the reindeer have eyes now?
Nothing like a bit of cold weather to make you want to keep inside and stitch. Looks like you have some wonderful projects to keep you busy now that the weather has changed. :-)
I think I have just worked out that you LOVE Christmas! The Wendy WIlliams book looks fabulous! The birds on that sewing kit are just too cute!!!!
What a beautiful top, I’ve never seen that pattern before, it’s got so many beautiful details. Lucky you remembered to give the reindeers their eyes.
You found some great new patterns and pretty fabrics. Winter is the perfect time for collecting pretty wool pieces.

Well done on your finish
