It’s been awhile since I posted anything but summer is a slow (or non-existent) time for quilting for me. But here we are in late Autumn and I’m now neglecting most other activities except quilting!
A few weeks ago I picked up a couple of the Guild’s sandwiched community quilts to quilt. They were both folded with the backing facing out so I had no idea what I was getting. What a shock when I discovered one of them was a very colourful quilt from a Judy Niemeyer pattern! I’ve not quilted one of those before and I’m having a difficult time resisting quilting it to death, but I hope to do it justice without spending too much time on it! I have no idea who made either of the quilts I picked up but they’re both lovely.
Finished Projects
The other community quilt is done, laundered and ready to go to our Community Quilt coordinator for distribution to those in need in our community. We have many talented quilters in our Guild and it’s always a treat to quilt something they’ve pieced.
One of my sisters-in-law trusted me with one of her quilts last fall and it took me until this fall to quilt it! It’s from a pattern, Almost Houndstooth, that she’s pieced more than once and she always does a lovely job. This one took awhile to speak to me, but when I knew they were coming for a visit I made is speak a little faster! I’m waiting now for a photo of it once she has time to bind it. All the time I was quilting it I thought of it as the batman quilt; I wonder why?!! lol.
And, of course, there’s always a machine embroidery project either underway or finished. My daughter and I both needed new mini oven mitts and when Kreative Kiwi posted this pattern for $1 that was the incentive I needed to make some for us.
What’s next?
I purchased a magnetic hoop earlier this Fall for my Bernina 790 plus that I haven’t played with yet. I’m yearning to experiment with E to E quilting with it…..
And I have have two beautiful quilt patterns just begging to be started….. and Christmas is coming……
