"Free Wheelin"

is my sixth finish for the year!

It is a scaled-down version of the Meadowland quilt.

I added a thin sashing to change it up some more.

             It's not a big quilt- about 52" square.

I quilted it in a variety of wavy lines 

both from my machine's stitching options and some 

free motion ones.

It's now looking for a new home!

This is quilt #106 on my all-time list!

Happy sewing!

Elaine's Legacy

I decided this quilt should be donated,

so when a work colleague said that her 

eighty-six year old Auntie Elaine was holding an 

afternoon tea for the Cancer Council....

I knew who I would give it too!

I had a great time FMQ those floral designs in the 

large white spaces.

I love the texture.....

even before I washed it!

And so crinkly after!

Oh, yes Elaine is the auntie's name!

And #4 for 2019!

Now onto #105!

Happy sewing!

Meadowland

I've been busy making quilt tops!

I'd seen the Meadowland popping up all over my 

Instagram feed and decided I needed to 

dive in!

  

I showed some of those initial blocks back here

The blocks are 16" finished.

Today, I basted it....

Finished size 48" by 64"

I've also made a scaled down version...

with blocks finishing at 12".

For this version, I went a little more scrappy for the 

corner blocks....

and added some thin sashing and cornerstones.

I think both designs have their merits,

Finished size 53" square

although this second one is my favourite! 

Have you ever made a different version of a pattern?

I'd love to know.

Happy sewing!

Missing in Action....

Has it really been nearly three weeks between blog posts?

Life got in the way, I guess!

But I have been sewing, so here's a quick recap-

I found a pattern for my lightweight denim 

purchased in New Zealand...

  New Look #6500

Believe me, it looks far better on ME than it does on 

the sewing dummy!

I really love the fringe details!

And, yes, I started a new quilt with these fabrics!

It is a pattern called Meadowland.

I do have it pieced together but will save that until I 

can get a better photo!

 Mr. Adventure Bear is slowly coming together!

 Most evenings have been spent hand quilting my 

"Shadows of Love" quilt....

The colour is off a bit in this photo

The texture is wonderful!

I'm hoping to have this finished soon!

What have you been up to the last few weeks?

Happy sewing!
