This top was made in 2016 (I made some mistakes cutting it but I don't think it shows too much)
As you can see I used 1930' style fabrics on some white. This pattern is by Kate Henderson from Two Little Banshees and was in the December 2014 Homespun Magazine. Quilted in 2021
You can see what I did with the quilting clearer in this picture....
At a craft show I found metreage of that fabric I used for the backing going for a good price... perfect
The top of the flannel quilt is finished now that it has it's green border on.... I am just waiting on getting just the right fabric for the backing....
The binding fabric was included in the kit so that has been cut and made ready....
A few more Field Journal blocks have been finished too.....
I still have more of them to sew, but I am going to take a break for a while and do something else.... I do need to prepare a block to sew for Civil War Bride but in the meantime I have taken out a scrappy crochet project I started last year..... I saved all the left over yarn from previous crochet blankets (in that bag at the back) and will use up as much of that as possible.... (you know me - no waste if I can help it!)
Those big soft buckets you get in the hardware store are perfect for this!
My lemon tree has done well this year, and I got some buttermilk this week so made up a new to me recipe found HERE....
Passed the taste test and I don't think it will last long....
Righto, Gotto Go... I have picked up a head cold and am snuffly and blocked up and truely annoyed about it... who has time for that???
I can still play in 'that' room though.... so I will .... keep well, keep safe and keep sewing....
Sorry to hear you're not feeling so great. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery. Love the quilting on your soft-coloured quilt. It is so peaceful. Great job. Love your FJ blocks and the first picture is my favourite but they are all nice. I suddenly feel like having a desert. Maybe a little piece of cake would be nice. ;^)
ReplyDeleteCrochet scrap projects are like scrap quilt projects, you use up loads of left over, but the pile never seems to get smaller. LOL Your blanket is looking lovely so far.
