All the blue bird blocks have been quilted and the marks sprayed off
I do like looking at what it looks like from the back....
In the evenings I have been plodding along with this pretty table runner (pattern kindly donated by Susan) ... I think it's going to be a lovely runner...
... so today is hot again .... still.... I don't like to complain about the weather, I choose to live in Queensland.... so to be positive.. it is very nice to sit near the aircon and sew....
I have got out my curved perspex rulers and working lines in the triangles... (and making new marks of course!!)
... and then playing with feathers in the spaces....
My latest handstitching is some needleturn applique (pattern donated by Marina)
Haven't done needleturn for a while and I was a bit ham fisted to start with... going along nice and smoothly now... but they are little pieces....
Righto, Gotto Go... back to the bluebirds.... hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Your quilting is beautiful! :0)
ReplyDeleteas always, your work is beautiful! Thanks for sharing how you tackle the quilting - I am yet to try this style of quilting, I usually just stick to straight lines LOL
ReplyDeleteThat looks stunning with the blue, you have really been busy with your projects.

The bluebird quilt is a lovely pattern and the colors are just beautiful. Do you quilt on a longarm machine or your normal sewing maching. Its beautiful whatever you are using. Love the table runner too, just in time for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the bluebirds quilt....the blue borders really sets it off. Your quilting just lifts it to another level altogether!!! Looks like you are back in the needle turn groove x
ReplyDeletegreat job with your quilting Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI like your table runner stitching too.
I think you are going to do a great job of that pattern I sent you. It is going to look wonderful in needleturn applique.
We had 31 degrees today. Had to go into the city for an appointment. hot stuff.
Hi Fiona,gee i really love this quilt it is looking awesome,you are so clever my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona, that quilting is a delight. and love the appique
ReplyDeleteLovely quilting with the bluebirds. The patterns are looking lovely around the birds. I agree -- looking at the back really gives you a good idea of the pattern.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your stitching.
The back is just as beautiful as the front - amazing quilting.. Love the stitchery I bet one of your buddies in FHFS would love that.....
ReplyDeleteWi love looking at the back of quilting too, and yours is amazing. I can't believe you have done the christmas stitchery already, very speedy. I would stay by the aircon if I were you, it is hot here as well. Let's just skip over summer!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks fabulous and very professional. Your blogging friends have been keeping you very busy with lovely projects.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting, it really makes the embroidered squares special.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is outstanding Fiona. Love your bluebird blocks. Hugs.....
ReplyDeleteYour little bluebirds are so gorgeous Fiona. And your xmas runner is going to be lovely when finished. Do love redwork. I havn't done much needleturn but it is quite addictive one you start
ReplyDeleteYour bluebird quilt is stunning and I also love the redwork runner to be . I learned a new word here today "ham fisted" I will have to remember that one ;-) Great work as always Fiona . Hugs Sheila
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, love the bluebirds, have a great weekend xcx
ReplyDeleteYour machine quilting looks amazing as always. I am thinking that your needle turn project (and the lack of paper) is a method I might like to try - did you do a class or use a book for instructions on this method?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work. Love the blue birds.
ReplyDeleteLoving your quilting... it is making your bluebirds pop xxx
ReplyDeleteBluebirds is absolutely gorgeous, love those blue frames around the blocks...have fun with the stitchery and needleturn...
