I have two new, rather large, projects on the go. The first is a quilt made from the girls baby clothes. This seemed like a lovely idea, but cutting the squares and rectangles is very time consuming. The other project is this one by Amy Herzog… I’ve cast on three times so far … Above [...]

Dino Quilt is Finished
Posted in Free Motion Quilting, Patchwork, Quilting on Feb 24th, 2012
I finished my Dino Quilt. Above is the front and below is the back. I free-motion quilted it using a stippling pattern. I found this to be quite tricky simply because of the size of the quilt, but in the end I’m pleased with the results. As always, I could do with more practice. I [...]
The Quilting is Finished
Posted in Free Motion Quilting, Quilting on Feb 20th, 2012
I finished quilting the Dino Quilt – the above image is of the back. I stippled it, but I don’t think I pinned it enough – there seems to be a bit of shifting. Onto binding and labelling.
Quilting
Posted in Free Motion Quilting, Patchwork, Quilting on Feb 14th, 2012
I’ve started quilting. I’m stippling this one. I’m finding it physically quite challenging – manipulating all of the fabric and then bits fall of the table and drag on the needle. It is still probably the best part of the quilting process.
I am already to quilt. New needle (quilting #11), free motion foot is on …
I’ve been pinning this quilt - took ages and I jabbed myself with pins more times than I care to remember. And in the end I didn’t make the backing big enough and I need to add another strip.
The Quilt is Finished!
Posted in Quilting on Jan 18th, 2012
I finished the quilt! In the end I machined sewed (not very well) the binding to the back of the quilt. It certainly saved time and I will definitely do it again. However, I need to keep in mind a few things: Cut the binding strips 2″ wide rather than 2.5″. Once I’ve attached the [...]
Another Baby Quilt
Posted in Fabric Stash, Free Motion Quilting, Quilting on Jan 17th, 2012
Another baby is on the way – due at the end of February (not me obviously!). It is 30 charm squares and a white border. I bought the charm squares ages ago from the Fat Quarter Shop (sorry I can’t remember the name). Everything including the backing and wadding came from my stash (slightly embarrassing [...]
Still Here

I’m still here working on this quilt. So much cutting, sewing back together and then cutting again.
