Another UFO

Pink Quilt As You Go - 1/4 Of

Close up of quilting

This is another one of my UFO quilts.  Started this year, I am confident that this will not be a ten year project.  The piece I have photographed is one quarter of the quilt.  It's circles and squares put together and quilted as you go.  A good one to take with you anywhere really.  I found it beneath some boxes of fabric and thought, yes, must do a bit more of this...soon.

UFO Finished This Week

Back of Quilt - sideways for some reason.

At last, a quilt that has been in the making for at least four years!  My grandaughter (who is only nearly 2) owns this beautiful I Spy quilt and I finished it by adding a label onto the back of it this week. 

There are so many different fabrics that Ebony is always entertained by it.  Now, let me see, I think I have about fifteen more UFOs left to do.  And that's without actually going to count them.

The Label which I embroidered!



The Spring Garden

Our front garden today.  Poppies, azaleas, day lillies, miniature peach blossom and potted freesias.  Smelling like heaven, this greets me everytime I walk out into the garden.  Also on the way are roses.  I love spring.  The colours I see each day inspire me with my colour choices for the quilts that I make.

Out To Lunch

The Princesses and Me!

All my quilty friends love to go out to lunch and we do so at every opportunity.  Mostly we wear red and purple because we like to behave badly and have lots of fun.

Hexagons and more Hexagons

I had been looking for some of this fabric in order to finish a quilt I started about twelve years ago (!).  I posted a photo everywhere I could and finally a lady in USA sent me an email to say she had some.  She sent me just over a metre.  I was so delighted to have found the fabric that I put it in the box with the unfinished quilt where it remains to this day!!  So now it is about fifteen years since I began this quilt.  I promised myself I would finish it THIS YEAR.  So far, this has not happened.  However, I have finished many, many projects in those fifteeen years.  Where does the time go?
