Another Wednesday and it's been two weeks since I joined in last time. I was away last week and took lots of hand sewing with me. I finished the binding on a quilt, worked on a Material Obsession BOM block and finished another three starflowers, not as much as I was hoping to achieve but not bad either.
Firstly, a finish. A housewarming gift for my wonderful friends. I can't believe I already have a finish for 2012, this is a good start for me and I hope it is a sign of things to come.
As usual, I took my camera and then completely forgot to take any photos of it at it's new home.
This was taken before it was washed and tumble dried.
I finished the piecing on the MO BOM block and was doing the happy dance as I didn't have to seam rip a single seam, it's flat and looks like it should, phew.
Now I just need to applique it to the background.
Finally three more starflowers.
I've also been busy stalking partners in two swaps, Mouthy Stitches and the Name Game. That has been taking up a lot of my time this week.
The Lily quilt has come back from the longarmers today so I'm hoping I can work on the binding over the next couple of days and maybe even have it finished before the end of the month!

Tomorrow, Thursday, is Australia Day, we've had lots of rain and flooding here in south east Queensland again, fortunately nowhere near as bad as last year, but most of the planned official celebrations in this area have been cancelled. I hope everyone has a great day regardless!

And after, all crinkly. Fortunately I did remember to take photos once it was washed and dried but before I took it to it's new home. I'm so happy with this one, even though they are not my usual colours. All the stats on this quilt will be in my next post.
It looked great in the house, even if I do say so myself. It goes perfectly with their sofa and cushions.I finished the piecing on the MO BOM block and was doing the happy dance as I didn't have to seam rip a single seam, it's flat and looks like it should, phew.

ReplyDeleteYou are putting a lot of us to shame. I've spent today vegging out - going to movies. I'll start to pull myself back into gear by the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteCheers
The orange and grey circle quilt turned out beautifully! I bet your friends were thrilled.
ReplyDeleteGetting that BOM to lie flat without ripping any seams is quite an accomplishment - congrats!
You have some beautiful things going there!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first finish of the year! And what a lovely quilt it is! I'm sure the new owners love it. Your BOM is very pretty too. Do you do the blocks by hand or machine? Keep up the good work ;).
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, Marg! I really love orange, it's so under-utilized, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteStay safe with all that flooding!
totally in love with your orange and gray quilt!!
ReplyDeletethat orange and gray quilt is fab- really pretty and so modern- fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the orange circles, those are very much my colours.
ReplyDeleteYour house warming quilt is such a winner!! Everything about it works!! I particularly love the quilting :) Did you like making the Queen of the May block? theres a point at which it dosent look like it will go together but somehow it works. The star flowers are sooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteyou have a great taste in color and pattern. this is my first visit, and i love your eye for those! the oranges and greys on the quilt are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the circles quilt! (You can always ask them to take a picture of it in its new home.)
ReplyDeleteI love the orange and gray quilt! It'll bring such warmth to their new home.
ReplyDeleteAnd doesn't it just feel tremendous when a block like that MO BOM lays flat?! Like somehow you just invented the wheel, or something?! :) At least that's how I feel. :) It looks great!
I love that orange quilt, it is one of my very favourites! Congratulations on the finish. Sorry to hear about the rain.
ReplyDeleteHi Marg! The circles quilt turned out great - that pattern is also on my to-do list :)
ReplyDeleteThe Circle quilt has grown on me. I've always loved the design, but like you, I initially found the colors outside of my comfort zone. Now that it's done, it just looks so warm and happy.
ReplyDeleteThat MO BOM block is gorgeous! And you already know how I feel about the star flowers. Love them!
