July starts.....

Blooms has been quilted and the binding added (still to hand sew down)  I did custom quilt it as you can see.....



I do think it is pretty and fresh looking quilt..... sitting in the binding pile now.... top made in 2020


I started quilting this childrens one at the weekend...... going around the edges and lines on the borders so I got it done within the week....


I found some suitable fabric for binding in my stash so have added that....

It's now sitting in the binding queue too.....

Cherish 72 x 60- Top made July 2024


Finally finished off this section of the table-runner embroidery.....  only one section left and it is my goal to get it done this month......


Got back to the neglected 'Tuesleydale' sewing with Tracy this week..... we had to relearn how to do it so were pleased to get 4 done each.....


Tracy and I are already planning what next - we are both enjoying foundation piecing....


I saw Janice had done a panel quilt.... and remembered I had a bunch of panels so decided that will be my next quilting focus..... I found fabric for backings and some wadding left overs that are the right size and I now have a pile....  There are a couple of panels which are long and thin so I will piece some plains to go on the sides to make them a more useful shape.....


That road will be the first... I think it would be a fun floor mat for playtime.....

Righto, Gotto Go..... have a lovely weekend....xx

Your quilting on Blooms is gorgeous. You are certainly busy in the sewing room.

Your embroidery is absolutely lovely.
And so is that top from 2020 that you quilted so beautifully. I think I need to take more time with my own projects... so they have a chance to mature.
Of course, I’m also blown away by that fantastic children's quilt.
I hope you enjoy shaping your panels and sewing on the binding.
Warm regards, Viola

Well done, Fiona....you accomplished quite a lot! If you like foundation piecing, have you ever checked out Judy Niemeyer's designs? They are amazing.

Blooms is just so pretty and I love your table cloth. I do like your Tuesleydale and the Shooting Stars will be a great project to work on next. Lots happening as always. xx

Panels are always a good quick finish, have fun with them. I love foundation papers too and have finally purchased some Wensleydale papers, now to decide scrappy? Blue? Batiks? LOL Lovely to read all about your beautiful quilts.

Blooms is indeed very pretty and the quilting is lovely.
Cute kids quilt now nearly finished.
Good to get four more Tuesleydale blocks done. Interesting new project Tracy and you are looking at.
Beautiful work on the embroidery.
Two great panels that you’re finishing.
You have a busy week planned.

Blooms is looking great. Lovely work with your quilting. It really makes to quilt look special.
Another lovely finish with the children's top. You are well organised with your binding.
Great idea to use up those panels. I realised I had a lot that were too young for my grandies, so it was good to make them into donation quilts. And it is good to work on a smaller project now and then.

I love your newest quilts, you do beautiful appliqué work. I have a few panels that I plan on doing. They do tend to be odd shaped, so I have to add to some, to make them a better size. They are nice to do for something I can just quilt, for charity or a quick present.
