Quilts 2011

Just thought I would share, what I think has been a very productive year!! This year I have made 15 quilts...and yes! there are more photos than that, but I tried to get some close ups as well!!

My goal for 2012, I'm going to aim for 20!! One can live in hope...

My Whimsical Garden

Here is a picture of my finished "My Whimsical Garden" quilt. I had an absolute blast making this quilt; to be able to use so many different colours and fabrics. I did try to use the fabrics only once throughout the quilt, but there are some double-ups, but only because I loved the fabric so much I had to use it twice... The quilt is from "Piece 'o' Cake" designs...

'Lorry's Flower Garden" Quilt...

It has finally made it - into "Country Threads' magazine, Vol 12 No 1. I sent this quilt off about 6 months ago to be in the magazine and it is finally in print!!

This quilt was created in remembrance of the garden I used to play in as a kid...at my Grandma's house...a garden full of lavender and stunning, fragrant roses....

Simple nine patch piecing and fairly easy applique work, made this quilt a joy to make.

I hope you all like it...

Until next time

Stay safe

My Whimsical Garden

Today is the day I begin putting together my 16 blocks of "My Whimsical Garden" quilt. All the blocks are appliqued separately and then stitched together with a chocolate brown sashing. This is the layout process of where I want all the blocks to be situated...a good hint is to take a photo of the layout and have a look at it on the computer to help you decide as to whether you are happy with the placement and to where the colours fall with each other...once you are happy, stitch them together.
