Finish Along [Q4 Review]

You may recall, that my original Finish Along list for Q4 was a tad... lengthy. Thirty-three items to be exact. I have a final finish today to bring the total finishes to 18! And the final finish was one that I had been putting off and putting off, but that took about half an hour. The embroidery was done ages ago, I just needed to mount them. Here they are!


Here are the finishes, in no particular order:

Aunty Carol's log cabin quilt, Orla's quilt and Hugo's quilt: three quilts for a neighbour who was moving away and two of her grandchildren


Joy Jelly Roll quilt!!! After goodness knows how many years of ignoring it and its "issues".


R2D2 cushion, Darth Vader cushion, Ellie-Jo's unicorn cushion, Mia's twinkle, twinkle cushion, the Jane Austen cushion, the citrus hexie cushion and a Joy cushion to match the quilt.



The Bee-utiful Mini quilt - my favourite finish of the quarter.


Inside Addition, Henry's quilt, and a quilt for my Mum

And a couple of other minis...


Goodnight


and Christmas

I'm off to plan my Q1 list - I expect it will be equally over ambitious! I think there'll be a few projects that roll over...

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Autumn 2012

This weekend it's the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side Since the last festival I have finished loads of quilts which I could enter, but I'm sure anyone who follows my blog will have guessed which quilt I'm entering.....and will probably be fed up of seeing it by now :) The Farmer's Wife Quilt - here's the story and lots of photos! In June 2011 some of my favourite bloggers joined the Farmer's Wife QAL on Flickr and I got sucked in! I had just learnt how to foundation piece, so I also joined the Yahoo group and "borrowed" my parents printer to print off all of the foundation patterns. I hate templates, and there were some blocks that would have been impossible to rotary cut - including some of my favourites! Peaceful Hours; Spiders Web; Jackknife Century of Progress; Night and Day; Wood Lily I had been looking for an excuse to buy use batik fabrics. I just had to decide on black. Or white. I change my mind a...

Sweet Serenade Pincushions

This week has been about preparation, rather than sewing. I'm still hoping to meet my deadline of a full sized quilt by mid July - it's for friends that we don't see often - by which I mean, once a year, and that once a year is coming up quickly. I'm using Sweet Serenade by Basic Grey for Moda, which was released a few years ago now. I confess when I first bought it, I didn't have a plan for it, I just knew I liked it. But I also knew that it wasn't really my normal fabric choice. It was fabric I would enjoy sewing with, but perhaps not the end result so much. Then I realised it's colour scheme was perfect for these friends. I've spent this week cutting out all the pieces for the remaining 20 blocks. And by Thursday night when I finished I was feeling like I hadn't achieved much. Obviously I had and when I started piecing the blocks, they went together beautifully quickly. But I needed a quick finish on Friday Earlier this month, Fat Qu...

Meet Mia

***warning - lots of photos*** It is the first of March and therefore time for a review of what I achieved in February. There was some sewing for the first 23 days - I finished the quilt for Baby I made progress on the quilt for a friend's Baby and I finished my Thread Along Quilt  top I made some Dear Jane blocks (you can see them here , here and here ) and some Farmer's Wife Blocks And then on 24th February I went into labour and 12 hours later at 11.26pm we welcomed Amelia Lily to the world. Mia for short, weighed 9lbs 1 oz (4110g). We came home on Thursday after a few days in hospital and now we are juggling feeds, nappies and sleeps. Three hours old I love how suspicious she looks in this picture... We had a very handmade home coming with a knitted cardi and blankie from Grandma - my name was mud as the blanket was over 230 rows each with over 230 stitches plus a border.... I don't knit so I don't really understand - Grandma made sure I ...
