A finished quilt

This quilt has been a Work in Progress for a very long time.









Pattern: Wild Thing by Camille Roskelley 
Fabric: Momo Oddyssea & a creamy white solid (can't remember which one)
Backing: Pieced Momo Oddyssea in an attempt to use some of my stash
Quilting: 1/4 " outline on the white bits - note to self for future reference this took forever

Lovely post

I've received lots of lovely things in the post recently.  Firstly lots of lovely 10" squares of Echino as part of a swap organised by Sew Sweetness





And a prize - 6 mini charms packs from I'm a Ginger Monkey's lovely Quilt Market giveaway.




Now I just need to decide what to make with it all - answers on a postcard please (or in the comments box below!)


PS - check out this exciting news from Katy, Lynne & the Fat Quarterly gang - it has made my day, week, month.

Fresh Modern Bee 2 - the end

Things have been a little hectic yesterday and there hasn't been a lot of sewing going on and what has been sewn hasn't been blogged so there will be a few catch up posts.


First up is my last Bee Block for Fresh Modern Bee 2 is for Yvonne from Nellies Niceties 





I am hoping this looks like the tulip I had in mind. . . . .





And to finish off the Bee - a mosaic of all the blocks I made.  Hopefully I will be posting a finished quilt top of the blocks made for me by the end of the year.

Stop procrastinating, start sewing!

Work's been a little busy for me so far in October and no sewing equals no blogging.  But now I have a couple of weeks with some time to sew and I need a little focus.



So this week I am hoping to:


1. Make 2 more hexagon flowers - thanks for checking up on me Nicky!
2. Get the sashing cut for my Bee Quilt
3. Finish outline quilting the white on the Wild Thing Quilt
4. Finish trimming the Tilda Triangles

Robin's Quilt

I was cutting it fine with this one - I started it 2 weeks ago.





Finished sewing down the binding at 10pm last night just in time for his birthday today.


From this tutorial





He seems to like it (or did a good job of pretending anyway!!!)

Robin's Quilt Top

It finally stopped raining for more than 3 seconds so I could get some photos of this quilt top outside.  Followed this pattern from Moda Bake Shop but adapted it to make the quilt slightly longer than the original.





Backing is done, binding is made and quilt is basted and ready for lots and lots of straight line quilting.

Sewing club

Hmm not much progress made on my hexagons at sewing club at Millie Moon. Too much talking, not enough sewing!

I did get some trimming done on my Tilda half square triangles though.

This little bundle of fabric seems to have purchased itself last night (probably when I was too busy talking!)

However progress has been made on my husbands quilt and the top is finished. Thanks for all the suggestions. Hopefully I can get some better photos when I baste it on Friday
