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!

Free Motion Quilting

At our Tuesday night group (Night Owls), we had a class of Free Motion Quilting and this is the 'sampler' I completed.  It was quite a challenge and I still have a long way to go.  However I will keep practising!

MUG RUGS AND FREE MOTION

I have made these mug rugs today.  I have been practising free motion quilting and have done some meandering on these rugs.

The cushion was all done free motion - I found the design for the large flower in a quilting magazine.  It was supposed to have a tear drop filler in the background.  However, I decided on a swirl design would be more manageable for me.
I have added a pic of the flowers on a tree in our garden.  They are particularly beautiful this year - something to do with getting rain at the right time!
