My blue quilt-as-you-go sampler is finished at last! I hadn´t thought it would last so long though. I am happy with the result and with the improvements of my machine-quilting skills. Most of the quilting was done without marking and after all those feathers, I have finally understood how they are done especially in curves.
My new course starst on Wednesday, so that was a close shot! For my students, they will have this session to finish their quilt-as-you-go quilts and we will do a christmas mystery table runner as well.As I thought I would, I received this week these nice australian magazines. A lot to drool over!
I started a small stitchery to put in the middle of the siggy blocks. I will put small buttons in the middle of the flowers and I still have to stitch small flowers at the bottom of the flower pot.
I hope to finish this quilt quickly, all the blocks are already there, right (!)so that I can enjoy all the siggy blocks from allover the world.I wish you a nice week with a better weather than we have here. Have I allready told you that the weather is miserable here, wet, windy, cold,... and that apart from a snail invasion, we haven´t seen anything from summer?!

Eine tolle Idee mit der Stickerei ...
bin gespannt auf Dein setting!
And I can say you all: The blue quilt is fantastic, I was a lucky one to see this master piece with my own eyes!
The blue quilt is wonderful, Gwen! Very well done! And your students will love to have it as inspiration, I'm sure!
The stitchery is adorable, and a great idea for a siggy quilt centre!
Take care! hugs
What a lovely sampler. It will be a great inspiration for your class.
More beautiful stitchery -- it will be spectacular with signature blocks around it! And a finish! Hooray!!!!
I've had enough summer to share... almost too much to bear! Enjoy the cooler, drier weather, I would embrace it right about now. Your finished quilt is gorgeous and your siggies are going to look fabulous with the addition of the stitchery, can't wait to see that one together.
HUGE CONGRATS on your finish. The quilt is wonderful and the quilting looks fabulous :)
Your quilt turned out nice and so did your stichery block. What volume/edition is the stitchery magazine? I haven't seen that edition and do enjoy Country Threads! thanks for sharing!
Hello, nothing exciting happening here today. Kids have gone back to school and now I miss them, sad me!
