I just loved my weekend learning with Lindsay from Sew To Grow and hosted by The Quilters Angel....
Off I went with my nice big pull cart full of all I needed....
All set up in my corner..... there was a nice big bench against the wall (we were in a 100 year old country hall and it was made with bench seats all around the edge.
Of course there was rewards for hard work....
Lindsay taught us how to change patterns to fit size and shape..... This is my end result. I also used some of Lindsays latest range of fabric, this one in poplin.
The same pattern can be used for a top and also different sleeves....
Last weeks Blackwork flower was done ....
I've had this quilt on the frame for a while now and I finished it off early this week..... I did rows with leaves and curls and swirls..... I made this top back in 2021. It is made mostly using a jelly roll.
On Tuesday at a friends house where I can spread over the table I did the binding for my Pies and Tarts quilt.... The top was finished in 2023 after winning a starter kit from Glenrose Patchwork (now closed) in 2021 and I slowly worked through.
I quilted all the circles using a curved ruler and a small meander in between on the plains...
Straight lines in the borders and a light backing....
Marina was having a clean up and had this sweet pattern leaving her home, of course I put my hand up and then she mentioned she had fabric with stitching on when she started the project... so of course my other hand went up..... I have dug through my threads and found some that match so it's all ready for playing with.... I do love Kathy Schmitz designs..
Thank goodness our evenings have cooled a bit, sleeping is so much nicer.
I found another piece of vintage seersucker which I spritzed to freshen up.... of course someone decided fabric in the yarn bin was an invitation!
Righto, Gotto Go .... embroidery guild today and I need to pack my basket.... I will take my new UFO I inherited....
Have a lovely weekend... and week xx
