Quilt Show–Part Twelve

It’s the final post, so I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how we set up our quilt show.  We took a lot away from it for next time, and I hope we can learn how to do a bigger and better one.  Life is all about learning, isn’t it?

Till tomorrow

Quilt Show–Part Eleven

One more post after this one and then we are done with the quilt show. 

I’ve been sewing up a storm the last few days, trying valiantly to get some UFO’s done.  Hardly going to make a dent in the pile but one can try, yes?

Till tomorrow,

Flimsy–another UFO bites the dust

I finished this UFO ages and ages ago, but didn’t have the space to photograph it.  Or at least I thought.  I bought some bull dog clips and nailed them into my design wall and made a perfect photography backdrop!

Some of you may remember me working on this in previous posts.  I made two quilts with string blocks, and whilst I managed to use up a large amount of scraps, I was well and truly bored brainless with the concept by the end of them.

I then began one of Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilts and lo and behold, there was a truckload of string blocks in that too!

I may well live my whole life with never making another string quilt again.  I am officially over them.

 

 

 

 

I am thrilled to pieces with this quilt, and included that final photo of the red fish to show you that everything can be included in a scrap quilt, even flying red fish fabric.  Just like Bonnie says, you just have to cut it smaller to make it work.

I hope you’re quilting up a storm out there,

Quilt Show–Part Ten

No time for a long post today, just some more show and tell.  Today is a busy, busy one!

 

Till tomorrow,

Quilt Show Part Nine

Almost done on our quilt show tour.  These ones are all small, believe it or not.  All still part of the challenge.  I wish I’d done more of mine, though it’s so blah compared to these lovely designs.  I’m such a classic procrastinator, and then I rush things at the end to meet deadlines, and then wonder why I don’t like them. 

But I do love these little quilts.

We have such varied tastes in our group.  It’s quite interesting when you have a quilt show like this one – every one has such different ideas and they all seem to work together at the end. 

Hope you’re enjoying it.  Tomorrow I’ll show you some of my finishes.  I’ve been a very good girl and have been photographing and labelling (yes, every quilt of mine will have a label before my time is up!) the older things, so I’ll be sharing them too as time goes on.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.  My thoughts are with the typhoon people – my goodness, can you imagine?  I can’t.  Poor souls.

Till tomorrow

Quilt Show Part Eight

Nearly finished our quilt show posts.  These final few are all from our Garden Challenge.  It’s amazing how every one is different, don’t you think?  We are all given one word ‘Garden’, and a limited amount of instructions (no bigger than A4 size) and that was it – each one is totally different.

Hope your weekend is going well.  I’m about to head into the sewing room for a much needed day of relaxation.  Looking forward to it.

Talk soon,

Suzie
