Tumbler Quilt

Yesterday I finished sewing the binding on this tumbler quilt.
 

I used Amanda Jean's Sweet Baby Quilt tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop to make it.

Most of the fabrics are from Peace on Earth by 3 Sisters, with just a few bits of Roman Holiday tossed in.
 
 


I quilted straight lines the width of my walking foot along all the seams ...


 


and finished it off with a stripey binding. 

After some dismal efforts in some months this year, I managed to finish 6 items in November. Hopefully December will be as productive.


Molly was very interested in the 'goings on' in the backyard and posed for a few quilty shots.


 
 


Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend a 2 day workshop at Calico Crossroads in Exeter. The guest tutor was the delightful Kerry Swain from Cottage on the Hill. Here is just a peek at the quilt I worked on using Rouenneries by French General. 


I will share some more pictures from the workshop and tell you about my quilt in my next post.
Finally, here are my SSCS gifts which I posted to ????? on Friday. Only 2 days late!! Sorry, Chookyblue.
