Quilting

 Finally I have all my Butterfly Garden blocks together and ready to be machine appliqued and hand stitched. I can see the end in sight now, though it is over near the horizon!

BG is my night time stitching; aside from doing bindings.

 I have another An Angels Story block prepared ready to machine applique.

 This cute little quilt is half bound and I have almost finished quilting it; maybe it will be done by tomorrow for the end of the month????

Ah yes, quilting. Lots of it!

Even though it is pinned and ready to quilt I keep procrastinating about quilting the QS Luna Notte quilt (2nd from right).

Also ready to quilt is the Shheep quilt for DS5yrs. I kept putting off machine appliquing the sheep on it because it's awkward once the whole quilt is together. I am going to ditch the quilt then raw edge/quilt the sheep. Not sure how it will turn out but at least my son should get his quilt sooner rather than later!

The quilt on the left is a dissapearing nine patch with white sashings that I made using two charm packs of American Jane's 'Punctuation' range. I will quilt this and put it away for when I need a baby/toddler quilt.

The last quilt in the pic (2nd from left) is another dissapearing nine patch, but without the sashings. I used two charm packs of 'Max and Whiskers' by Urban Grey - gorgeous fabrics.... This quilt, small as it is, isn't pinned yet as I AM OUT OF BASTING PINS and need to quilt in order to baste some more!



Quilts in Progress

 I may not have done much sewing lately but did find this partially together quilt top in the cupboard recently.

Brimstone Fire.

It is made with the 'Good FOlks' range by Anna Maria Horner.

I played around with cool and warm colours with it. The blue squares are to be appliqued.

What do you think?

Something a bit different to what I normally make!

 Luna Notte.

I have two rows left to stitch together on this quilt, though I don't think any rows are stitched in the actual photo. I have made this quilt with just two jelly rolls and it is approx 80" x 80" - great size for my bed!

The photo above gives a better indication of the colours, so so pretty....

Spooky!

 My eldest DS, MrZ, has picked this quilt out for me to make for him. He is the son that 'outgrew' the previous quilts I was making for him....hehehe we won't mention here that I had one of those two quilt kits here for a number of years...LOL.

MrZ has also picked out another quilt for me to make; one that I don't really want to make and I told him. He offered to help so I thought he can help with this one first. Last weekend I went through with him how to trace the patterns onto heat'n'bond lite, then press them onto the fabric and cut them out and press them onto the background fabric. Now we have two blocks ready for me to machine blanket stitch in black thread, this is great! I hope the other blocks go just as smoothly; the quilt will be done in no time if they do!

 Now this quilt picture was up the right way but blogger turned it, not sure why and I couldn't turn it back - sorry you will just have to look at it sideways!

Here is a NEW project I am working on. I know, I can hear, I don'd need to start something NEW when I have so many half done projects....but a new project is just always so tempting, and inspiring!

It's gorgeous Luna Notte fabric by 3 Sisters.
