Finally finishing some things
Yep, been hitting the sewing machine hard this weekend and have been sewing up a storm. Finished quilting my Gran’s quilt, just got to put the binding on.
I got the fabric for the back while I was away on our Sewjourn retreat, at the lovely shop called The Drapers of Mt Macedon. My Gran loves birds and I thought the colours suited perfectly.
I also pieced a new version of an old quilt of ours called Gingham Rose, in Amy Butler Fabrics. There are fabrics from a couple of Amy Butler’s range including Lotus, Midwest Modern and Daisy Chain. It’s a really simple pattern but it is still a favourite with me.
I think I might have a go at free-motion quilting on this one, maybe some big flowers, or loops…….
While I was going through my photos I found a pic of some cute little fishes made for us by Dale. They are made from the Melly & Me pattern Under the Sea.
Buffy and Willow also wanted to say hi!

Everything looks lovely, Emma. And Buffy and Willow are so cute. I remember one of them as a tiny kitten (not sure which one).
Cheers, Jan

What are quilters without cats I wonder…
