QUILT COMPLETE!!

This is the back of my first machined quilt- done by ME!

Don't look too close! It's far from perfect!

I know I have blogged about this before, but I am so thrilled to have completed this one by my new Juki!

Can you see the quilting? I hope not because its in 'the ditch'!

Love that spotted binding! Really enjoyed hand sewing the binding on to finish it off!

Also great to have another quilt finished. Even my darling husband commented on its bright colors and how it might look on our dining table!

Have a great day !

Doll Quilt

This is what I have been working on.

Not sure of what the pattern is called, but it pops up quite often on various blogs.

Although I am not officially participating in the current Doll Quilt Swap #9 I thought I would give something a try.

Had lots of scraps left from my recent zig zag quilt, so rather than packing them away, and adding even more fabric to the stash, I decided to try to use them up.

I am more than happy with the result. It is a little brighter than I would normally use, but it is good to get out of one's comfort zone!

I am now going to try to machine quilt it on my new machine. After I get some practice in!

I'm heading back to the sewing machine.

Can't believe I am making another new quilt!

Have a good day!

A bit of sewing

A bit of an up-date on what I achieved over the weekend!

(Sorry about the quality of the photo - the light was surprisingly bright for a cool winter morning)

These squares were made from leftover scraps. They are going on the back of another quilt.

Pretty amazing really - they came together so easily!

Could make for an interesting design for a complete quilt. I will let that bubble away in my already busy brain and see what eventuates.

And this is going to be a doll quilt - even though I am not officially 'swapping'!

I love using up all those scraps!

Just another excuse to buy more fabric!

And this is what they were sewn on - I got a NEW machine! This baby is going to help me learn to machine quilt.

Then all those UFO's will be finished!

Process and Progress

Have spent a productive day sewing!

But not ready to share just yet!

But this will give you a clue!

This is my attempt at a zig-zag quilt, but constructed the easy way.

It is rectangles pieced in lines, on the diagonal.

I am also making a doll quilt (although not officially participating) from the scraps (that's what the first photo is showing!)

So I am honouring the Process Pledge!

Have a great weekend!
