Borders on

I went to Dream girls on Friday and most of the mystery quilts were revealed.

One was even quilted and others were at various stages.

It was fun seeing them all and amazing how different the same pattern 

can look in different sizes and colour combinations.

Here is mine with the borders on.  I am really pleased with the border fabric.

It wasn't in the sale but it was perfect for the quilt so had to have it.

Now to decide if I am up to quilting this one myself and if so how to quilt it.

It looks like it should have an all over design. 

What do others think?

Mystery Quilt unveiled

On my days off I finished all 13 blocks to complete my mystery quilt

 I love it.  Thanks Wendy for designing such a beautiful quilt.

And my piecing is pretty good too.

Mystery Quilt

The mystery quilt is coming along now.  I started making block 2 today.

Block 2

A few of the blocks laid together.  It is beautiful and I love it.

Fire Challenge

The Latest WQC 12x12 Challenge was "Fire"

Here is mine.  Check out the others at WQC or Netty blogs.

A Sewing day with my nieces

In the school holidays, Ashleigh and Maddy came to do some sewing with me.

This time we did hand sewing.  We made felt pin cushions using a pattern

 designed Wendy Oswin from Quilters Dream.

Here is Maddy with hers.  They came with their own felt.  I always like to see different peoples colour combinations.  Both were really good. 

WQC UFO day

We had another UFO day last Saturday and I worked

on my mystery quilt.

I really enjoy these days as you can spread out, don't have 

to make tea and coffee and meals for the family

and you get to talk to like minded people.

Here is the first block of my mystery quilt completed.

I can't wait until next month when the next block is revealed.

Chook Pincushion

I made this pin cushion from a free pattern on the internet. 

 I didn't have any red felt and saw an Anzac poppy on the table

so used that.  There wasn't a pattern for the wattle, beak

and comb.
