customer quilt & another productive Sunday.




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..................

Tee hee........don't ya love it when your photo's go Topsy Turvy.....................................
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!

  3. 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.
    What 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!
