Happy 2013

Happy New Year!
 May 2013 bring you happiness and lots of creative time.
I finished my Star and Sprigs top; but I cannot show the pictures yet, due to computer problems. But hopefully, I will post a photo soon.

There is a new Kim McLean pattern in the works. Here is a peek.

Pine Trees quilt in " Quilt & Zo" magazine

Hi Everyone,

There is a quilt that I made not long ago, it's a pieced one with appliqué in the side triangles, titled "Pine Trees" which has been published in " Quilt & Zo" magazine. It is in Dutch though!  However, from the photos and templates, it would be pretty easy to follow. I don't have a photo that I can show here. Perhaps one of the Dutch ladies who has a copy of the magazine can post? K

It's done!

It's taken me far too long to finish this block, but it's done, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I used a combination of Kaffe Fassett, batiks and the bowl is a fabric I got from EQuilter.com. There are some things I would have done differently, so I will with the next block. Kim, thank you for such a wonderful pattern!

My RA top which I now call Wichita Album is finished

Wow, almost two years in the making.  Today I am sandwiching the top.  Just finished the last stitch of applique......I love this quilt.....I am so excited.

it's so large, hard forme to get a picture of it

Last week I was in Houston for the International Quilt Market (open to shop owners and designers only) and Quilt Festival (open to consumers).  On the first day, I showed my finished Lollypop Trees to an audience of shop owners. Here is a bad photo of their reaction

Flower Garden

 Thought I would take a minute and post my progress on my Flower Garden quilt.  Love this quilt!!

The stitching on all the blocks is complete but they still need to be trimmed up and I haven’t started on the sashing squares yet so that is still left to do. 

I have both of the side borders completed and the bottom border is ready to stitch except for all the small circles over the center vase.  I have also decided to change the center vase fabric because this one seems to fade in with the background a little too much.  I think it needs to pop more.

This has really been a fun quilt and I never seem to tire of looking at all the beautiful Kaffe fabrics.

Now I’m ready

Now I’m ready

to post some photos of my Flower Garden blocks. I didn’t want to post after the first one, as, knowing me, I may not have gotten any more made for a while. They are so nice to make, but I definitely need good light. Pip and I compared blocks on our recent get together and she reminded me to get them posted. The funny thing is we were working on the same block, at the same time.   

Thanks Sue
