I am delighted to have Diane as another one of my new customers.
Diane wanted an all over meander through the middle of the quilt, then something a bit fancier on the border. I love the colours of this quilt.
Over cotton batting I used Madeira & Gunold threads for the meander, straight lines on the sashing & the hook feather on the border.
Diane was delighted when she picked up the quilt other day, she said was going to use the red for binding & it was going over the back of her lounge suite.
Enjoy Diane!
I managed to have another productive Sunday. On Thursday I picked up this months Sewing Essential Project from The Country Yard. So far I have been making two of everything.
A block holder, scissor fob & mini pincushion, arm chair husiff, clam shell case, & rotary cutter case.
Don't ya love these fabrics? If you click on the photo you will see I have a CD in the base ( under the pincushion ) as I need to get another tile. The tile is what is used to weight the whole creation!
My second one..................
The thread catcher on this one I put a slippery fabric for the lining of the bag & used RicRac & Velcro as I can take the bag off the empty the thread & the odd chocolate wrapping!
Wishing you all a happy & productive week!
Diane's quilt is lovely. The red border will be nice.Good on you with your sewer projects (hehe), a detachable bag is a good idea :-)The upside down back to front and inside out photo is very hard case!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in the quilt & yes I think the red binding will just finish it off perfectly :-)

That is a very rich collection of fabrics--great depth. Nice quilting. Hooked feather is another one on my list of "feathers to practice" this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun sewing essential. I always run into trouble when I try to do two of everything. I fall behind and can't always even get one done. Good on you for keeping up!
Love the fabrics Diane's used - it'll be a beauty with red binding. And don't your thread catchers look great hanging off your Singer?!
