I'm on a roll!

I'm so excited that for two months in a row I have actually finished more than one item in a month. Peg and Chris who organise OPAM will be shocked and amazed!!

My first finish is this block holder. A gift for my good friend Caron who recently celebrated her birthday. I couldn't show you earlier because I know she checks out my blog from time to time.

It is made with Tilda fabrics that I thought she might like.

My other finish is a quilt for a special person celebrating her 21st birthday this month. Just needs a label so I can wrap it up for her. The design is a giant log cabin.

I'm really happy with the clam shell quilting Meredith did for me at The Quilting House.

It is backed with a brushed cotton as the recipient feels the cold and I thought it might be snugglier (is that a real word?). Anyway, you know what I mean.

So I am also linking up to Finish It Up Friday with Amanda Jean as well.

Last night I joined in with Friday Night With Friends. I started with a little more free motion quilting.

And some hand quilting on my 'A Legacy from Violet' quilt. I can finally see the finish line!!

This quilt it 98" x 94" and is English Paper Pieced. I have an area 98" x 13.5" to left to quilt!! This has been a VERY long term project.

As I rolled the quilt on this week, I finally got to see the far edge of the quilt in my frame. This is pretty exciting as I started hand quilting this on the 7th June. I'm hoping it might be my finish for Finish It Up Friday next week!!

I worked on this during Friday Night With Friends.

Finally a few photos from the Wendy Williams workshop I attended at Material Obsession last Monday. Lea worked on her camel.

I started a new project called 'Wee Village Town Pillow'. This project is in Wendy's book.

 I finished one house...

 ...made a good start on a tree and attached the contrasting fabric to the cushion backing. As well as picking up a few tips as other people worked on their projects.

This is where I am up to now.

The houses and tree  are not attached yet. This is fun and fast. Love playing with felt. Could it be that I will have two finishes for OPAM this month?

I guess my progress will slow down as  the school holidays finish up on Monday. But it's been fun and full of lots of stitching get togethers with friends.

Tilda Quilt Finish

This quilt that I started last week is now finished.

The soft colours are difficult to capture in the sunlight. The design is a giant log cabin measuring about 87" x 91".

Closer is better.

Tilda design such pretty fabrics.

To update you on my dilema with my Violet quilt. Thank you to everyone who made some suggestions about my colour run problem.

General consensus was to keep going and use lots of colour catchers. I have done this. After all, this quilt is only going to adorn our bed in Summer, not the walls of any quilt show.

So I am linking up with Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday.

I decided it was time to start a new project. After all, I am on holidays. 

This quilt will be a gift for a very sweet person who will turn 21 soon. She has been part of our family for a while now. I feel she definitely deserves a quit.

It is made from Tilda fabrics. They are so pretty, I hope she likes them.

The pattern is a giant log cabin. Last night I added three more rows. 

Ten rows on...ten more to go.

It's another frost again this morning. Think I will say inside and sew until it warms up a little.
