Little Quilt Finished

 

I almost forgot to show this little quilt I made a few weeks ago. It was for a quilt challenge using Martha Stewart colours. I won't go into any details except the pinwheels are finished at 2".  That was a lot of HST's to make, over 100 in a quilt this small.

 

I'm happy with how it turned out with the red, green and a little touch of brown colour combination.

Happy Quilting.

Quilt Show

 

The local guild quilt show was this past weekend. It was a short visit for me because I had worked all day and got to the show near the end. But it was worth it, I'll start with the BEST merchants booth at the show. Creative Edge is a local quilt shop and Maureen did a fantastic display in her booth. I know how hard she worked and what a terrific display she had done.

 

Another view of how creative Maureen is displaying all the kits and samples.

 

If you see anything you like, send me an email and I'll be happy to give you the shop phone number.

 

This girl had used her grandmothers stash found in the attic for the rings. I love it!

 

This quilt is a work of art, all pieced, it's so incredible to see in person. 

 

I believe this is the same designer as the cardinal above.

 

London Underground, very creative.

 

Whimsical tea pots.

 

Just beautiful.

 

Makes me want to visit the country side.

 

Cute little bird on a branch.

 

I just think this quilt is fun. I hope you enjoyed seeing a sampling of quilts from the show.

Happy Quilting.

Dresden Top

 

Dresden Scrappy Plate top is now finished. I should have pressed it before taking these pictures but you get the idea. I'm happy with how this one turned out. It's definitely going to live at my house.

 

I have lots (well not a huge amount) of the blade fabric leftover. Don't know what will be made with it just yet, maybe sit in my stash for a little while.

Happy Quilting!

This and That

 

One gift a month hosted by Darlene and Cheryl. I almost didn't finish this in time for the May train. It's not much but I figure better than nothing. 

 

Scrappy Dressies Plates are coming along, I think this might be my favourite quilt. 

 

I haven't shown these blocks until today, these are  4 1/2" finished blocks I've been working on. Not sure how many I'm going to make, it's a "work in progress". I did the 2 hexie blocks this week. I really enjoyed making them, I might be hooked!

Happy Quilting!

Scrappy Plates

 

Still making progress on Scrappy Dresden Plates. Only one more to hand applique....I'm so excited to get started on the sashing.

Happy Quilting.

Dressies Progress

 

These Scrappy Plates are fun to make and easier than they look. I've finished appliqueing about five Dresden blocks so far. The others are all prepped and ready for stitching while sitting on the back deck. You can find the free pattern from Bunnyhill.

Happy Quilting!

Block Progress and Something New

 

A few more blocks completed from the book "Some Kind of Wonderful". The pattern is "My Favourite Things" from Anni Downs book. You can see more of my blocks here and here.

 

I think this is my favourite so far.....who doesn't love a vacation.

 

Something new I've just started, the dressies pile is growing. I'm making the Bunnyhill free pattern.

Happy Quilting.
