Today is my middle brothers 70th birthday.... (I have 3 brothers)... of course I made him a quilt......
These owls are made using the Quick Curve Rulers (large and small) using a pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful called Mod Owls.
I used a range of Batik fabrics against a feathery background....
and a variety of custom quilting in the individual owls with a wiggly background....
I'm not a good labeller but of course special ones need it.....
This was finished a while ago as I had to post it off to New Zealand.... my sister in law stashed it in her sewing room (where he does not go)
Happy 70th to him...xx
I have finished off a couple more Ginger Jars...... some tulips in a light jar
and Beach Rose in a light jar....
I have not given up on my Hardanger but my magnifier light has been giving trouble (My live-in handyman fixed it for me yesterday) but I have completed this little Christmas stitchery,
I used the Stick and Stitch papers and you can see I haven't dissolved it off yet. I'm working out a plan not to EPP this project together so I want to wait till they are all done.
It is an Anni Downs project designed for the final Tilda club.
A single 4" sashiko block has been done.....
... and my Snowglobes Christmas quilt had the hand sewing done at Tuesday sewing with the girls....
I used a preprint panel by Ausi designer Natalie Bird and copied the idea of snowglobes from Marina....
A hanging sleeve has been included and I'm looking forward to having this one up on the wall this year....
Looks like a lot has been done this week, but much of it was started previously and just finishing off done....
I've got a bunch of plans for the weekend and next week, a new dress, some quilting (my sampler has only had a few rows done), hardanger, planning a new scrappy quilt, the last 2 Ginger Jar blocks .....and I expect something else will distract me!
Hope you have a lovely week......xx
