Farmyard


When I saw last seasons Tilda fabric Tiny Farm I thought of this sweet Ella and Skysie stitcheries and pattern...

I have made it before, many years ago - I don't even remember where it went to live....



The stitcheries are lovely and calming to do... just a little bit of satin stitch on the eyes...


I have been enjoying sewing these in front of the TV at night...

... or during marathon Messenger chats with friends....


I have started putting the blades I sewed at retreat together into half dresdens....


they still need their circles in the middle then will be appliqued to the final border of my love quilt ....

I have started thinking about quilts I want to make next year... and quilts I want to quilt next year....

hmmmmmm

Righto, Gotto Go... might be a good time to open one of those boxes with quilt tops in....  I will be making a list and photographing over the next few weeks...

One of the bundles of fabric I am hankering to use is this ....


It's called Perfect Union and I fell deeply in love with it .... I worked hard at election time and needed a reward!! haha... any excuse.   I don't know what I want to make with it yet....

Your stitcheries have made a lovely little quilt Fiona. Mmm, those fabrics look lovely. I have my eye on a fat quarter pack - just humming and aaaghing! about the cost of postage from UK! xx

I'm sure you will come up with the PeRFecT project to use that YuMMy fabric.
Love your Dresdens too.

Love your Barnyard Friends quilt. So cute. Did you applique those patches on the animals or is it embroidery? I can't really see it but they sure are cute!!
Love that bundle of well-deserved self-gift. Blue and Tan, what's not to love? Enjoy! ;^)

That is a rather beautiful bundle of fabric Fiona. I love your sweet stitcheries - I have bought some Tilda tiny farm & Maple farm & have yet to decide what to make with it. Ohhh the possibilities .....................

Janice said...

I’m looking forward to seeing what you decide to create with you latest fabric bundle. A very nice reward to yourself. The dresdens are coming along famously and the farmyard quilt will be super cute with the Tilda fabric.

Ooooo I am loving that bundle of fabrics. The quilt is beautiful and your stitcheries are sweet. I still have so many UFOs to carry me through next year. I just hope I can get to fabric shops and not be in lockdown again.

You have kept busy. The animal blocks are adorable and the blades have come together quickly.
That is a gorgeous bundle, too.

Nice Tilda quilt. Looking forward to your list of quilttops and pictures.

You will find the perfect project - they look lovely

I do love the farmyard animals.

I've just collated my list for 2021 = 2021 needs to be 48 months long and I need to work maybe 2 days a week not 4!
