Tractor Ted

I quilted this cute panel at the weekend.

Green Gables

I pieced this quilt top in 2009. 
On Thursday I took it along to Quilters Dream and
quilted it on the HQ18 Avanti.
Here it is after taking it off the machine.

 A closer look at my quilting.
Completed.

Water

The latest Halberg Group Challenge is "Water"
I chose this one and was inspired by a photo I took of my dogs at Matarangi
last year.  I used silk photo fabric and free motion quilted the water.
"Beware 3 BC's"

Rose 12x12 Challenge

This months 12x12 challenge for WQC was "Rose"
I googled rose and came up with the Confederate Rose block.

Bag Day

I finally got in to my "Sewing Room" today and made
a bag for a birthday present for a friend.
I bought it as a kitset from Quilters Dream. I actually tried 
to start it yesterday but made a bit of a whoopsie cutting it out.
I am not going to confess on here what I did but it took time to save 
the situation.
It has turned out like the picture so I am pleased with it.
Shame it is not for me.
