This is another kit that I purchased from Kerry - 'Cottage on the Hill', as you can see the top is finished and that is as far as I have gone....I think I should count how many of these little things I have tucked away.......
Yes another one of those tops completed, but that's all, I really must send it to Betty to be quilted (this one is far too big for me)....I purchased the fabric from Kerry at 'Cottage on the Hill' (this lady has the best range of fabric ever) a couple of years ago....and I have always admired a pattern of Kerry's 'Stargazing with Friends' I think that is the name...but I wanted to make the block a lot smaller, so I adapted the pattern with help from Kerry and this is the finished product....If I had to describe myself and the only thing I could use was colours, this is what I would come up with......This is made from Thimbleberries......
This is block number 9 and there are only three more to go.....I must admit I have been enjoying doing these little fellows, have no idea why I stopped in the first place, but I guess it is the same old thing, a better offer came along.....
I have made this from Moda - Mistletoe Manor - charm pack - once again very simple, I have added a small pepper and a boarder...I just love the spot, spots and stripes just add so much to a quilt......
Friday was a great day, I had planned to quilt two quilts and I did, I have sewn down the bind on this one so it is totally finished...yippee......made with Moda - 3 Sisters - Roman Holiday.....don't your feel so good when you have completed a project.
Seed Packet Quilt.....by Red Brolly.....this top has been completed for a while, probably a couple of years....I just love the fabrics in this quilt, they are so happy.....I am going to source an appropriate backing and finish this off, not quite sure about the quilting...open to any ideas...????
I actually finished work early this afternoon had a few hours off....and I have spent the time getting two quilts together so that I can quilt them tomorrow, been a little bold also taking tomorrow off........yippee.....a long long weekend....We are celebrating Australia Day on Saturday 26th and Monday has been declared a Public Holiday, so I am having 4 days and two hours off from work...
This is block number 8 - and only four to go....it is amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it....
After finding my little stash earlier I have been on a bit of a roll trying to get these completed ....this is number 6 - only 6 more to go...
Peppertree Lane Productions - "Harrison Rose" Quilt....I purchased this kit several years ago at a Craft Show in Sydney, and I completed the top last year the design in the middle is appliqued, button hole stitch...the only thing I still need to do is on the middle cream boarder, there is a stitchery all around...the cream is osnaburg and it stretches so much and I am not sure I want to do battle with it....so I think I may complete the quilt as is...
One would not call me a gardener...but I do have a passion for plants and pots.....this is one of my favourite...my son Josh gave the plant to me several years ago for my birthday....we call it a 'black boy' I am not sure of its correct name, we have placed him partially under our patio and have never moved him except for when we re-potted him - the lovely pot was given to my by our special friends the Jacos a few year ago - but our black boy is just so happy in this spot, I thought they grew very slowly but not this fellow...
As I had mentioned in my previous post I had received some quilting books from Doe yesterday in the post, as a thankyou for the quilt I had made as her Secret Santa.....I have already picked out a couple of patterns I would like to make....Thanks again Doe....it was extremely generous
