Charity quilt

We had a lovely day the other day when we donated two quilts to a deserving lady. We enjoyed making this quilt and it was extra special to give it to someone so appreciative.

There are 12 of us in the group  the Jelly Rolls but a few could not make it on the day.

These are two quilts that I made from panels. The other one does not seem to want to load.

Will try again tomorrow.

You can make quite a large quilt from a small panel by cutting and adding strips to each small section.

At last I can now add the third one. This one I have not cut the section out just added the flying geese to the sides. I am enjoying teaching what you can do with a panel. Who wants another for the wall when you can have one for the bed.

Watch for my updates

I have been away for 12 days and sewed up a storm.

I hope to get some of the work on the blog tonight or tomorrow.

Margot went to a retreat in the hills for 3 days and the I had 9 days at her home where we sewed and sewed.

We had done some nice work but I have to up load the pictures yet.

Off to unpack the car now but later will work on the computer.

Frilly Lizard

I have just posted my challenge for Challenging Ourselves. I am very pleased with my quilt and want to show you all. I have called it Frilly.

The fabric for the Lizard was hand painted by me. I then made the lizard by cutting out the shapes and thread painting in the body and legs. I then set him on a rock and made the 3D frilly and face. I appliqued and machine embroidered in the leaves and grass before adding some quilting lines.

I actually made two but as the pallet was Orange Blue and Purple I thought that the Celtic one did not have enough of the purple. I still think it turned out nicely.

Nina and my Flood Auction Quilt

Nina was the happy recipient of this quilt. I was so happy that she won the auction. Here she is smiling with her prize. She tells me she is going to put it under glass which I am very happy with.
