Fernhill Block 1

This is the first block for the new Fernhill button club by Lynette Anderson, as you can see this block is all embroidery and is the centre block for the final hanging.  I have already received Block 2 so I know what I will be doing this weekend :) 

New Block of the Month

Seeing as I have completed quite a few of my UFO's -  thought it was about time I started something else [like you do], so I signed up for Lynette Anderson's new Block of the Month!

I haven't done very much of the first month, but when it is finished I will show you what the first month looks like.  I like these little mystery quilts, and one day I will finish the other one I started!!!!!



A Little Update ;)

My daughter's friend is due to have a baby next week and her favourite book is The Hungry Caterpillar - so it seemed only right that I should make one for the baby when he or she makes his appearance, am so glad that she waited until the quilt was finished before she gave birth!

This quilt is from the new Makower Space range - it is a sample for Anthea's shop, it was lovely to sew together so if anyone would like to make one for a special little boy in their lives...

Kits are available for both these quilts and everything else you may need from Quilting Antics :)

Job Done!

A job well done - I think.  I was getting a bit fed up with this hanging as I seem to have been doing it forever, but I am really pleased now that it is finished.  [Just a hanging sleeve to add - but that wont take long :)] 

So far, I am doing quite well with my mission for 2012 - just the binding to add to the Random Quilt and then that is finished too.

Nearly Half Way There!!!!

You know when the kids were little and they always used to say 'Are we there yet?????' Well, I have felt a little bit like this with the hanging.  But, as you can see from the photo, I am nearly half way there :)

As I took the photo on my phone, it isnt showing the colour of the fabric at it's best.  But when I get it finished, I will take some better photographs.

Catherdral Window and Secret Garden Hanging

I just thought I would share with you the progress I have made so far with the hanging.  The centre is complete and the Secret Gardens are all tacked into place, so it is now taking shape.  Hopefully, it will get finished over the next couple of weeks :)



Catherdral Window and Secret Garden Hanging

Before Christmas, I started working on a hanging at the Oswaldtwistle Group.  The hanging has a Cathedral Window centre - but they arent the original ones - they are made out of elongated triangles.  So far, I have added the centres and I am busy working around the Secret Garden units.  This is a photo of the centre so far.  The fabric is from Anthea at 'Quilting Antics, unfortunately the photo doesnt do justice to the colours as they are lovely and vibrant.  Will post a photo when it is completed - which I am hoping wont be long!  I have also finished the quilting on the random quilt - just the binding to add now :)
