I must say it is nice to have a bit of time to work on some of my stuff. I still have plenty of quilts from customers, with more coming, but life, well a happy one is about balance right?
First are my Dresden Plates............................
grapefruit free to a good home! |
This is a L O N G term project with no time line, just making for the pure pleasure! I love English paper piecing, I know there are many other methods, much quicker methods, eg; the wedge stitched on the machine, the glue stick etc, etc. But this is my choice of method as I find it very relaxing. I am unsure what fabric to use for the centre circles ???
Here is an earlier photo...............................
Also I have been working on a BOM for the shop
All I can say is yummy pattern, yummy fabrics!!!
I have washed a few quilts, weather permitting, it has been rain, sun, rain & heaps of humidity here in Northland!
I love your Dresden Plates--not only the colors, but also the alternating pointed and rounded wedges.
ReplyDeleteNice use of selvedges, Leeanne. : )
Please please please do a tutorial for those tissue box covers!! !! !!
ReplyDeleteI love your dresden plates
I'm thinking of doing some English Paper Piecing whilst camping I need a small project to start with though
Your dresden plates are beautiful, I love the colours you are choosing. We are having lots of rain and humidity too!
ReplyDeleteSo nice you're having some me time!!Your dresdens are looking lovely indeed!! The tissue boxes are way cool!! (love mine - aren't able to share it yet!)
ReplyDeleteHi Leeanne, I adore the colours in your dresden plates - one of my alltime favourite "old" quilt designs. Those tissue box covers are amazing - my friend made a cushion cover using selvedges. I hope to have a go this coming year. Have a lovely New Year. Julie :-)
ReplyDeleteI never made Dresden Plates, but I love yours! The new BOM looks Yummie indeed, I'm looking forward to see it. And the tissue box covers are so cute, I'll have to cut the edges of my fabric, too, from now on!
ReplyDeleteI wish you the very best for the New Year, Leeanne!
Me too I've not made a Dresden Plate quilt - yours look fun - NOPE I'm NOT starting anything new! Clever tissue box and would be fun spying ooh I had that range...
ReplyDeleteLove Leanne
