Thank you for all the lovely comments re my Rouenneries quilt in the last post. It seems like lots of you love it as much as I do.
In the evenings I have been working on some stitcheries for Anni Downs A Gardener's Journal quilt.I plan to use
Patisserie and other complementary fabrics from my Figtree stash.
I am choosing the stitchery colours as I go. I find this much quicker than constantly looking at a chart. It also makes the quilt slightly more unique.
I started with the biggest stitchery:
No Place Like Home
which seemed to take forever!
The next few were smaller and much quicker:
Flower Basket
Weather Vane
Dog House
(my favourite, so far)
It is great to be on holidays ... I am slowly recovering from a very busy term. The Eisteddfod last week was very rewarding with my students achieving lots of first and second prizes in individual and choral sections ... more importantly they did their best and had lots of fun.
great post Christine and its great the kiddies did well and had fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christine.....I would like to tackle this one....one day!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your colours, can't wait to see them with their border fabrics....
ReplyDeletewish I'd thought a little more about using my own colours, my poor book is nearly worn out from all the handling... Enjoy your holidays, hope the weather is pleasant and you can sit and sew in the garden.....
I love the Gardener's Journal quilt and your stitching is very fine indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching,
