T'was the week before Christmas

Not long now and still quite a bit to do. I'm looking forward to a break over Christmas and New Year.

The week started easily enough with two cot quilts...
The first has Irene Steele's "Timeless Hearts" on it.....The second "Bubble Meander"

I spent a LONG time on the above quilt...which is just what you DON'T want at this time of year...using Joanne Knott's P2P tall Triangle Feathers...

Quilted this enormous bargello with Lisa Calle's "raindrops"

This one got Lorien Quiltings "Hollyhock"

Had to quilt the borders only of this quilt with Deb Geisslers "Rose Border"...The quilt had it's centre already quilted....dont normally do jobs like this as you never know really what you are taking on....was thinking while doing it...WHY did I agree to do it? Can't seem to say NO!

Thankfully ended the week with a mindless tacking job....

Saturday was the last Juniors class for the year....I have loved teaching the girls...hope they have a great Christmas.....

Have a great week.

Christmas Parties and Concerts.

The week began VERY hot....of course ...as we were to attend the end of year concert for the school band that Miss Beth belongs to....EVERY year so far has been really hot on the day of the concert. LOVE sitting in the school hall under those conditions...but seriously it has been wonderful listening to her practice all those Christmas carols in the house...she has become quite good at the flute...

An E-2-E with Irene Steele's "Timeless Hearts"

A custom finished with a mixture of freehand outlining, ditching and background fills with some statler flowers...Designs by Vickie.

A semi-custom using Tammy Finklers log cabin block...turned out beautifully.

Finished the week yesterday by attending the "All About Sewing" christmas party.......have loved working there...great group of people.

Have a great week

The Quilt Purchase

I have never purchased someone else's quilt before, but when I saw that this one was for sale at a local patchwork shop "Blueberries" ..I just had to grab it.

I quilted it for Jackie the owner of "Blueberries" a LONG time ago..and I felt it just had to come home with me....

A few E-2-E's finished.....

My walking foot wholecloth finished.....

It is a pattern from Keryn Emmerson's collection....wholecloth's for beginners...designed to be stitched out entirely with your walking foot...took a few Sunday afternoons.

Have a great week

Another Busy One..

Began the week by finishing a custom quilt that I had been running late with.......

The quilt has been freehand quilted with a couple of motifs stitched out by the Statler...I'm really happy with how it turned out...

Got some baby quilts completed and delivered....

Finished some E-2-E's.....

The above quilt has "Yin Yang" from Lorien Quilting on it....

The fairy quilt has "Angel Wings" by Jodi Beamish on it.....

Worked on an Edge to Edge with trim....."Gossamer" by Lorien quilting in the background and the applique blocks trimmed out.....then the appliques outlined and stippled behind...turned out well...

Have also been working on some cot sized quilts to sell.....I have used hand dyed fabric from www.stitchesandspice.com.au and used "Echoshell" by Keryn Emmerson ....LOVE the result...

Enjoy your week...

Funny ol' Week

A funny ol' week with LOTS going on but not much to show...

I finished a candlewick quilt which was semi-custom quilted using Joanne Knott's "Cornice" border and corner set...and Deb Giessler's "swirls outline" frame. Minimal quilting...kept it soft.

I was pleased with the result.

Busy week ahead...have a good one
