Getting a quick win with finishing off the binding on this small quilt.
I was lucky enough to be invited to join the Brisbane girls in a sewalong for this quilt called Floral Fun. (Pattern in Quilters Companion #127) Susan drew up a helpful schedule which was not too much each month.
The original pattern is this and was done in raw edge machine applique...
I chose to do mine mainly using my Tilda scraps (I did need to buy some plain for the flowers) and to needleturn the flowers....
Civil War Bride is finally being quilted. I finished this top in September 2023 (started January 2021) I am probably going to stick to outlining the applique and some small detail like leaf veins etc. Slow and steady.
I finished off my 'looped picots' hardanger square..... I will need to wait for the next class for guidance to a new stitch in a couple of weeks....
A new crochet blanket has started using these colours......
This one was finished last year but I forgot to post about it.
Roughly 1.2m by 1.6m
Here are a pair of Sulphur Crested Cockatoo's waiting for some seed to be put out. I do love their cheeky characters and they are beautiful, but destructive and naughty too! For those not in Australia they are a big bird (about 1/2m in length) and make the most dreadful scary squawk!
Righto, Gotto Go.... today I plan to get a bit of that quilting done.....
Have a good week everyone....xx
