This week on the machine I am doing big loopy feathers
Week 2 of Sylvia's Bridal Sampler with the girls ended with this
we wanted hand stitching blocks to take to Quilt Group .. hexagons and tumbling blocks
we all had homework to do and I sat with mine last night....
hmmmm... some reversing to be done today
Dzintra is also making this quilt and we are going to encourage each other ... woohoo.... anyone else?
the alphabet bears are going well
most of them are done but for the odd little pieces to be finished off....
... these are a Michelle Ridgeway set of designs ...
Righto, Gotta Go... need to have a serious conversation with my unpicker.... hmmmmm
Pretty feathers Fiona and those bears are very beautiful.
ReplyDeletebeautiful feathering and those litttle bears are the cutest, it's lovely seeing them all come to life.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll pass on the sewalong, I'd definitely need one to one for those.
they are looking great, bummer about the reverse sewing.
Sorry about the time needed with the unpicker, but we've all had our share of unpicking. I actually did some today, too. I love your feathered quilting. I AM going to master feathers. I AM.
ReplyDeleteHi my lovely friend,love those big feathers . I look forward to watching yours and Dzintras press with these blocks. Oh I do love Michelle's bear alphabet,you have stitched them beautifully,well done and I hope you have an awesome day my friend xx
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona, your bears are just so cute - and I'm in awe of your FMQ. Those feathers are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the feathers. Still thinking on the bridal sampler. I did get my book out. :) Love the bears too. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteToo much chatting and not enough watching I think!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous feathers!!! Lovely work on your blocks - both pieced and embroidered.
ReplyDeleteDera Fiona,
ReplyDeleteyour bears are just wonderful, love your new project.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Love those tumbling blocks Fiona and you've done a beautiful job of Michelle's bears
ReplyDeleteYou've been so very busy!
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona your quilting is just Beautiful! Very excited to do the Sampler but am going to be rather slow due to my 'distraction'....bummer about the unpicker!
ReplyDeleteThose bears are so cute, Fiona. You've been keeping yourself very busy.
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy Fiona.
ReplyDeleteI had to study your tumbling blocks closely to see what needed unpicking - I worked it out. I have only just entered the world of EPP with some hexagons. They are quite relaxing.
Your alphabet bears are looking great too. I love watching your progress. You must stitch in your sleep I think.
loving the alphabet bears, you've managed to make great progress with them, and more beautiful quilting
ReplyDeleteMore lovely quilting and tumbling blocks- it's a while since I have seen some of them but they always look so striking. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, but we all have days like that ...when the unpicker is your best friend :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful feathers, Fiona....I don't piece much so I don't see what needs to be unpicked, lol! I just adore those alphabet bears and your perfect stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot achieved--although you did have to unpick a little-- how frustrating. The stitcheries are very cute.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful feathers you talented person you!! Love the stitcheries! Hope your visit with the unpicker isn't too long!! Have done one block...need to catch up!! lol!!
ReplyDeleteJust love those bears..and your feathers are amazing..I have that book as well..got it down off the shelf and it is beside my chair to have a look at again..aren't unpickers just the best invention..
