Happy to say our son arrived safely. He had booked on a flight which did not go via the Middle East fortunately.
Before he came I finished up the binding on this baby quilt, a panel I quilted up a while ago....
First kiss - rather cute
I had been working on my stitch sampler over evenings..... this project had been ignored for some time
 |
It's a real mix of different colours and stitches over the back of ticking..... some lines are braids I have attached. I'm really not very imaginative, I would have preferred a list of colours and stitches to work to!!
next I will make it up into a little project bag
I did get some machine sewing done and put together the top for this quilt made using Quick Curve Ruler and a pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful
Lucky Quilt - 57" square.
Binding is made in that green used in the centre.
Off to the Quilting Queue
A few years ago I made this one using the same book and ruler, Persimmon Quilt is 74" squared
Both are made from Bali batik bought when we holidayed there in 2015.
Quilting details is shown HERE
The ruler is fun and I do like the effect and improved accuracy (as one trims after sewing blocks) - there is another cut and started waiting for attention.
Righto, Gotto Go. Snuck in a bit of quiet coffee time whilst Hubz is at golf and Son gone for a run. This weekend we have one grandson playing cricket (today) and another playing Rugby League (tomorrow) to watch.
Have a lovely weekend....

Pleased your son arrived safely.
Sure is a cute panel.
Some nice catch up on the curves.
Enjoy your time with the boys.
Bothe beautiful quilts Fiona, good you are back to your stitching sampler, the baby quilt is very cute!
The baby quilt panel is really cute. Congrats on getting it across the finish line. I'm impressed with the stitches over the ticking. I believe I have a piece of that fabric and now I have a mind of doing the same thing. A bag would be really beautified by all these stitches. Great idea. Love the curve quilt. So different. Enjoy the weekend. ;^)
such lovely quilts Fiona.
Your embroidery sampler is beautiful, will make a great project bag.
Glad your son got here safely, enjoy your time with him
Your stitch sampleer is great - a lovely record of lots of stitches. Lucky and Persimmon are both great designs and look good in the fabrics you have chosen. So glad your son arrived safely. xx
Good to hear that your son didn't get stuck in the Middle East....a worrying time. I like your stitch sampler, it will make an interesting project bag.
Your stitch sampler will make a cute project bag. The curve pieced quilts look good. Something I’m still wary of. I’m glad your son’s travel wasn’t interrupted.
Great news that your son made it here without problems. It is such a worry with what is going on.
That embroidery sampler has turned our really well.
Good to see you sneaking in a bit of sewing time.
So behind in blog reading! Glad your son arrived safely. Didn't register about the about space issues. Scary. You've some lovely projects Fiona xx
So glad your son is safe. We are due to travel through Dubai at the end of May. Keep everything crossed for us please. Lovely panel quilt and oh my, I love your stitch sampler.
It sounds like I will have to further explore my Sew Wonderful ruler as both these projects are so nice. I love your stitch sampler and what a great idea to use it for a bag. I am guessing you were waiting anxiously for word from your son when flew home.
