Beginning of March

Another Field Journal block has been done ... I have been rather neglecting these, but they will happen



I worked on one of two quilts I am making from my farmers (son and DIL) shirts... they have two daughters and these quilts are specially being made for them.


this one is based on the Broken Dishes block.... I wanted fairly uncomplicated blocks as the fabric moves and it was hard to get good points.... they won't mind that some have been chopped off.


Part 2 of Gossip in the Garden has been completed....

Michelle has a different version


and I have done February's quilting session ....


On Williams Street gives instruction on quilting , which I am following as her style is quite different to my own and it's getting me to try different patterns....

I really like the block too and think it would be lovely in two colours only.... another on my want to do list!



I spotted this bag at The Quilters Angel.... and made it up in Easter fabrics.... its not very big but would certainly hold a few lovely easter eggs...



It was good to get this little bag finished, I feel I am jumping from one thing to the next at the moment.

Righto, Gotto Go..... I want to start preparing Part 3 of Gossip to work on this month....

Lovely needlework. The Broken Dish quilt is beautiful. Do you starch the fabric? It would help to stabilize the fabric. Gossip in the Garden is a charmer. I had a giggle on that one. Too cute! Well done with the Williams Street project. Your Easter bag is the cutest one out there for sure. Enjoy! ;^)

The quilt made from the shirts will be a special one for your GDs.

Nice quilting on your block and a sweet Easter bag.

All very nice projects, Fiona. The quilts from your Son and DILs shirts are going to be super special for their girls.

Great work using those plaid fabrics..something that I avoid as they are fiddly to get straight. Cute Easter bag.

Ondrea said...

Beautiful projects as always. Great idea using those fabrics for the girls. Loving your FJ embroidery , love all of them to date. Your applique is very sweet. Love Michelle's too but can't comment on her blog...trouble signing in with google.

Nice job on the Easter bag. You used such pretty fabrics. Your BOMs are pretty too. As for the Field Journal block, so pretty too! Keep making progress there. It's one of my favorites to check in on!

Every one of the field journal designs is a delight. How many are you up to now?
Looks like you are busy again with a lot of projects on the go.

Jane said...

love how the quilt is coming together. Are both of them going to be the same block?

Janice said...

Lots of lovely work on show. Gossip is coming along nicely. The Easter bag is very cute.
