September 15, 2011 by

It’s been a while since I’ve done any quilting, so I started the $10 Quilt with Country Concessions, in Cookstown. I got my September block done! Woohoo!

My leaf quilt is all ready for the miniature raffle. I’ve attached a copy of the back as Traceyann requested. Learned a few more things about thread painting. There’s always something new to learn.

Heather sent me the picture she had taken of her wall hanging -

Now she is working on a wall hanging from a kit I bought a few years ago at the Waterloo Quilt Show. I think she’s going to try free motion quilting on that one.

Miniature Project – 2011

Auditioning background, border & binding

We are well ahead of schedule on our Miniature Project for the 2011 Quilt Show.

Next Project – Update

April 1, 2010 by

I’m not sure why I was procrastinating with this project… but the cutting is done now.

Next quilt fabric choice.

Decisions, decisions!

Fabrics have been selected and cut to 9″… why not the 10″ we discussed? Well, I used several fat quarters and one of them (ahem! the focus fabric) I couldn’t squeeze out the extra inch. I’m okay with that… However, I’m wondering about the green. Does it belong? My instinct is No! … Ah well, I’ll soon find out.

Okay, this will probably be my focus fabric for the next project… the question will be, “Do I have enough?” I have many pinks and reds, a few greens, and not so many beiges.

Finished!

It was finished a few days ago … It was a gift so I didn’t want to post till after Christmas :)

Bento Box

Bento Box

Did I mention that I backed it with ‘Fireside’? Really cozy and snuggly but tough to work with using the quilt as you go technique I used…. I quilted the centre box and added the borders which curled devilishly as I worked with it.
