A Quilt Finish

  
This quilt top had been finished for some time, 

so it was time to bite and bullet and 

get it quilted and done! 


I started out with some simples straight diagonal 

lines, a quarter of an inch on either side of the 

piecing...


The centre panel was going to need something, so I 

decided to go with the swirls again!


There are some little red French knots on the wreath

While it is very time-consuming, time is something 

we all seem to have more of lately!


Perhaps it's snow?

Before our shutdown, Darn Cheap Fabrics had all 

patchwork fabric for $5 a metre....


so I picked up the red backing and dark green spot 

for binding!


I still have not named it....

Considering "Dear Deer"???

And no glamour shots- 

a simple blog post for a simple quilt!

Felt bunnies for Easter!

I made this little felt bunny about eight years ago,



so I thought it was time to make another...

one or two.


I was lucky to find my original sketch and used it 

and the photo to make another pattern.


and decided to make a carrot pouch as well as an 

Easter egg!


My grandsons were thrilled when I showed them on 

Facetime at the weekend.


Goodness knows when I will be able to give them to 

them! 😞

Happy sewing!

Shine Your Halo!

It's not often I name a quilt before I've made it, 

but this seems a good name for my version of 

Jen Kingwell's "Halo" pattern.

I had long admired it and had even found


 a version in this book: 


Although my busy blue version will look totally 

different from this one!

I am really enjoying cutting into my stash of blue 

fabrics, 



generously supplemented through a swap with Linda 

last year!



Here are a few more of the blocks I have been 

making.....



I'm enjoying the challenge of machine sewing curves again.


Here are the four blocks.






And I couldn't resist making a collage to get a bit of 

feel for the final layout....



And I love it!

Happy sewing!
