Tadahh....

This is my version of Roseville Album. As I had limited space on my wall, I had to leave the very beautiful border behind, and instead I made a sashing with 1" square.

I had a blast making this quilt. Thank you so much Kim, for making this lovely pattern available to us.

It has truly been a journey into different Technics.  I started out with using Starch method, and from there I moved to needle turn. And I love it!

Here is a view to the backing. Its Moon Flower by Phillip Jacobs.

Left panel in Flower Pots

This is to be the left side panel. I am having a blast stitching those large shapes and lovely smooth curves. Thank you Kim for the lovely pattern!.

There is one flower that I think is not so great in colors, but it gets to stay for now, at least until I get to see some more panels finished.

I love however the fabric and colors in the large flower bowl.

My first block

This i my first block to Flower Pots.
I have chosen a black background fabric for this quilt. It's Dimples from Andower fabric. I love how the colors just "pop".  It will definitely not be the last time i use a dark background.

I have recently finished a quilt by Susan Powell, and I must say, that going back to one of Kim's pattern, it feels like coming home. Very relaxing.

I do not need a quilt as big as the originally, so I had to modify it. So it will be done without the top and bottom panels. This way it will fit my wall. I have an idea, that I could use either of the the leftover panels, to make a small wallhanging, with sashing around.

Help wanted...

Does anyone know what this fabric is called and who the Designer is? I think its Kaffe Fassett, but I can't find it on the web. It was in a fabric kit for Flower Pots, from Glorious Color, and I bought it last year. The background is black, and the little flowers is red and pink and orange.
It is very useful to the little circles, and I intended to get some more, in different color. So any information would be appreciated.

Catching up

My last 2 cornerblocks.
They are darker than the other two, but the center flower is the same in all four.

The right side panel is finished also.
This one did not turn out quit as red as I was aiming for, but I think I like it anyway.

I did not use the Starch/perfect circles method either. I just mark my circles on the background fabric, and needle-turn them in place. It was a lot of fun to get them as round as I possible.

Next I have some big secret plans for the rest of the quilt. But you must wait a little while to see it being revealed. So stay tuned :-)

Squirrel panel

Please forgive the poorly light on the picture. It was late at night when I took it.

I have looked at Kim´s quilt regarding the color choise, when I was picking fabric for the birds.

I am not so great in choosing color and Kaffe´s fabric.

The inner circle in the sun gave me quit a lot of trouble. I made several choises before settling with this one.

Over at the Danish blog I have pictures from the beginning to the end.

I did have a lot of fun doing this panel. It was very satisfying.

Now on to the last two cornerblocks.

Camilla



2 cornerstones

I thought my quilt needed some more balance, so I chose that the 4 corner blocks should be the same pattern.
I chose this block because it was the one who used the space as much as possible. Seen through my eyes.


Next project will squirrel panel. It's a bit of a puzzle with colors, and requires a lot of planning to get it to go up.

Slowly progress

This is the top panel.

I thougth it would be easy to do the house, but it was not as straight forward,

 to do the long straight sides, and to get them even.

Thank you so much for all the nice and encouraging comments on my last post.

I was very happy to read them all, and it gave me the boost to stitch a thread a day.

I am so thrilled to be able to post on this blog, and to be a part of this community.

Finaly some progress

I just finished the bottom panels in Roseville Album.

It was sometimes a struggle to get it finished.

And some of the times, I drag myself to the sewing.

I dont know why it was so, but now Im just happy it is finished.

Maybe I should take a little break from Kaffe Fabric,

and then hopefully the joy of appliqueing will return.

Camilla

Center piece finished

The blocks is washed and ready to being squared up.

I am attending a course in needleturn applique here.

It is so much fun to just play with your needle and fabric.

No Starch, no basting and no fingerpressing.

It is almost like magic :)

Camilla



3 more

3 steps closer to the finish. And 3 more to sew, before I can sew the center together.

It´s truly an adventure into needleturn applique.

But so much fun!

Oops

My crooked vase !

Roseville Block 2

This is my second block.

I am more happy about this block, regarding the stitches.

Perhaps it is because I now use size 12 needle.

I am using Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles.

Roseville block 1

Here is my contribution to this blog.

I was very happy, that Janet got it all work out,

so I could join this group of talentet Quilters.

Thank you for that! Its is truly an honor.

I am doing Roseville, and here is my first block

The hardest part for me, is to choose the right color thread to match the fabric.

I dont have that many different colors. Yet. But I am working on that.
