Wow, it has been longer than I thought since I posted last! Not joining in on blog hops is part of the problem...
A few days ago I finished quilting this Angela Walters panel. It is for her Free Motion Fillers workshop, which I started toward the end of last year. I finally powered through the last 2 sessions to get this thing done. There are optional borders you can buy, but I didn't want to deal with them.
I did buy her set of Glide thread though. (I am not a Glide fan but it did work out for this, thankfully.)
Here are some close ups of sections of the panel.
This was an interesting, educational experience. I doubt if I use some of these designs, but at least I have played with them.
Next up, my Backyard Birds wall hanging.
This is all hand appliqued and long-stitch quilted. I really enjoy doing these kits by Rachel's of Greenfield, and I enjoy wool handwork.
This Curvaceous table runner (GE Designs) is the fourth I've made with the pattern.
The fabric is Angela Walters and it's Christmas. I bought a set of fat quarters from her shop and then enough of the center fabric for the back and binding.
This is a quilt as you go pattern.
Currently working on a bench pillow that I hope to finish today.
Until my next post...
Keep on stitching!
I don't know why you haven't joined in on the blog hops, Carol, but I have decided I will only join the hops that I am already making something that would fit the hop theme instead of trying to come up with something to make just to fit the hop. I sew for a couple of charities and test bags for designers still, so unless what I am making will work for a hop, I am going to pass. I have too much stuff as it is, so what would I do with something I made for a hop? I usually end up donating what I make to a thrift shop (sometimes I try selling it first, but only have sold one thing from a hop). I am using my die cuts for the purses I make to donate to Sew Powerful and quilts to Project Linus mostly now.
