FINISHED!

I finally finished the crochet table centre I started a few months ago - feels good.  The Japanese lady wall-hanging was made from a pattern given to me by one of CQ group who had got it from the sale of the sewing goods from a member who had sadly passed away.  I had seen printed panels much larger and had wanted to try it only the panels were too large for anywhere to hang in out home.  I have reduced it and made it more to a size I liked. It is completed by machine applique with hand embroidery.  Cherry blossoms have been free-motioned quilted in the background.

Cushion and Garden

I made this cushion from a pattern in Quilters Companion No 78 with fabric I had bought from the sale of fabric from a member of Caloundra Quilters who had sadly passed away - I am calling it Del's cushion.  The flowers are from our garden.  I have added the CQs applique BOM - three so far.

MY LATEST PROJECT

A picture of the blocks for my latest quilts - ready for machine applique.  The quilt has a large centre block and I am unsure if I will add it - need to give it a lot of thought.

Cushion using Mini Quick Curve Ruler

I made a trial block using the Mini Quick Curve Ruler - not perfect - however I decided to make it into a cushion.  The small block on the back of the cushion was one I had 'goofed up'.

A very old UFO finished

Here is a UFO I have finished last week after it spent many years in my UFO box.  The pattern appeared in the AP&Q magazine in 2001 and I would have made it around that time!  I am very pleased

how it has turned out.

Happy scrappy stars

Finished the top - it is pieced in rows using rail fence blocks.  Needed to set them all out first (I used my bed as I do not have a design wall).  This would be a quick quilt to make if there were only two colours used!

Neck Pillows

These are verrrrry comfortable.  The two blue ones are for my daughter and myself - after the pillows proved a hit with my grandies ...
