Ta Dah!

It's like buses round here, no blog posts for days and then two come along at once!

so, as part of my FAL Q2 list was this ...

 a pile of cut pieces, and one little block ...

a sample for Stitchcraft Studio in Grantham, I needed to get it done 

it was the weekend, and I have taken to doing piecing and quilting for me at the weekends, 

rather than working on customer quilts, and feeling like I never sew for me 

so I gathered my bits and bobs ...

and dealt with the incontinent iron ... really!

and before I knew it I had a top!

so I loaded that baby up, and set to with the quilting

which actually took less time than I thought it would 

and to save time because this was now Sunday afternoon,

I machined the binding on, not brilliant, but its done

and as a sample of my Big Vintage Modern Stars quilt, you know, the Missourri Star Quilt Company pattern

I'm pretty damn pleased with the result!

So, that's one quilt, finished, delivered and now hanging in the shop,

I'll be teaching this as a class on 27 July if you are interested ...

Just sayin'

so I do believe that is finish number 3 on my Q2 FAL list!   

Ta Dah!!!!!

Finally a finish!

I know, taken me long enough,

but to be fair, I had to wait for it to be dry before I could take any pics of this wee one!

so finally, those Big Stars!

oh and the back? 

I got on sale from Brenda at Pink Castle Fabrics

As you know this was a tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company,

and I love it so much, I may have to make another one!  

This measures about 92" square

fabrics Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille for Moda

with a bit of Ruby in the borders

pieced and machine quilted by me!

and this is one of my Finish along Q1 finishes,

hmm, 2 out of 6 is not doing great really! 

I better work on that!  

Sunday Sitrep

Standby for visual overload ... I've been a tad busy ... in a good way!

pieced this little lovely then quilted it all over with Superior Threads Rainbows called Citrus Cooler ...

cut up my pile of Vintage Modern, and added a little Ruby for borders 

and got this monster quilt!   92" x 92"  

oh but I love it, and all from stash!  Just need to find the right back!

I got a bit of a swoon on, but only the one block ...

and when I visited with Di, we made these beauties for Bee Blessed ...

did I show you these already?  Cant remember, sorry

and I got another block for the Curve Along done too ...

I've been busy quilting too ...

with Superior Threads Rainbows Salsa!

Isn't it fab!

and then took a little cream and grey to this ...

oh, and there has been postal deliveries too ! ...

what no fabric?  

back to that cream and grey ...

got in touch with my inner Angela Walters on this one!

and then I did this ...

Hula  dance anyone?  

great name for a thread colour don't you think?

there have been a few other happenings, but I can't show you those ...

and I'll save my other purchases for a later date !

Come back tomorrow for more ...
