Loaded and ready to go
rows of pattern happening
and the finished quilt. The top was made by Lisa at the Geelong Guild, quilted at Tracee's and I added the binding Lisa had prepared.
Hotch Potch is finished and ready to go too.
I joined a challenge from Susan at DesertSky Quilts to make a block a day for the month of December. I have started out using up the bits of quilt backing I have, I am going to move onto fabric I have been given for hospital quilts. I am a little ahead today, but will not be sewing next week as we have a friend from NZ staying with us and we will be doing touristy things. Hopefully I can make some more before the end of the week. The blocks finish at 12 inches, although I have not measured these - I am concerned they will be undersized, but at least they all look the same so far!!
I am off to sandwich another quilt top I was given and them some quilting will happen......so long as I do not get distracted!!
Happy stitching.
Love the blue shades in the first quilt. It reminds me of the ocean. So how appropriate that you included a photo of Dory at the end of your post! Enjoy the "touristy" time with your guest!
ReplyDeleteThe finished quilt looks great Sue - as does your Hotchpotch quilt. Thats great you are ahead with your block a day. I hope you have a lovely time with your NZ friend Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! Have fun with your Kiwi buddy.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always wonderful. That machine looks huge, wow! Have fun quilting! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe quilts turned out great! Good work getting ahead so you can enjoy your friends visit x
ReplyDeleteYou have done well with quilting on Tracee's frame. Great finishes
ReplyDeleteYou are not only busy but so productive churning out one lovely after another. Love the Lapis Lazuli quilt - it is precious. Also very intrigued by the current project - how those blocks are taking shape.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with your friend doing touristy things. I am sure the fabric, the machine and the thread will be right here waiting for you :-)
Two great finishes Sue, beautiful quilting. xx
ReplyDeletelovely quilts in different stages of their lives.... that new block is quite effective too...

Blue is my favorite color, so I really like the first quilt. Enjoy your visit with your NZ visitor!
ReplyDeleteThe long arm must have made quilting easy. Both quilts look great. You’ve done well so far on your block a day.
ReplyDeletealways so busy - but using a long arm should speed things up a but!...ad a great horse quilt on its way.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the blocks look in all your scraps. It was so nice of you to make them. They do go fast, don't they! I like the two quilts, too. That's a nice panto pattern you did on Tracee's longarm. When are you getting one? LOL
