UFO Weekend

Last weekend, CQs had a 'UFO Weekend' where we could bring projects we would like to finish.  I competed this quilt.  I had done the quilt top some time ago.  It is a disappearing nine patch with leopards, paw prints and a vibrant green fabric.   I quilted it and added the binding.  I did do other bits and pieces as well as enjoying some delightful company and cooking goodies brought in by others.  Although quite tiring, it was great to spend time with fellow quilters and come away with a finished quilt.

BROOCHES

I made these three brooches from wool.  I had seen them on UTube and they were very quick and easy to make  - would look good on a jacket or shirt.

Scrap Quilt Finished

I started this back in January to diminish my stash.  I finally finished it and quite like it despite not achieving  goal to use up my stash.  My husband is claiming it to keep his legs warm while watching the footie!

FAIRY QUILT

One of our night group ladies stitched these lovely fairies and wanted them put into a quilt that she will give to CQs to sell.  I framed them with 2 inch squares and quilted in the ditch and around each fairy.  In the border I did feathers with free motion - I am getting better at it.  Although it is not my usual style with its soft pastel colours, I think it is very cute.

MUG RUG / WISHING OWL

Deb from Night Owls brought this pattern along for wishing owls.  It is a very naive style and I tried to make one as naive as my 'accountant's mind' will allow!
I have made a mug rug for one of our quilters who is having her 80th birthday.  I used the circular sewing attachment for my Bernina for only the second time.  When I first bought it, I thought what a grand idea and could see lots of uses for it - that was 12+ months ago!
