Busy first month

On the 14th February I will be teaching my first class with the Judy Niemeyer patterns. This class will be the "Cactus Flower table runner". I made up 2 samples to display in Peters Taylors shop. Great class to start if you have never used one of Judy's patterns before. We will even have some of Judy's quilts for show in the shop. I have joined the Judy Niemeyer Trunk Show so we will have a new quilt on display every month. It's all very exciting.

 

Been busy quilting lots of my quilts. I have the pile down to 3, and 2 of those are new quilts. Very proud of my self. Two quilts I took around to Evol and she let me quilt them on her big quilting machine. I did have to have lots of help.

For a few weeks I have been making up blocks for the Techniques, Blocks & Design class that starts next week at Peter's. We will be working on basic blocks through to more advanced blocks. The  Feathered Star is one of the more advanced blocks for this class.

 Do you remember the old Red Wagon fabrics? I was going through my stash and found them, thought it was about time I used them all up and I did!!!! Joined lots of uneven strips, added a few squares more strips and I got a wonderful quilt. I had lots of fun cutting and joining. This is part of the quilt. The top is all finished just waiting to be quilted now. It's one of the new quilts in the pile.

 Sudoku quilt is finished.  It was a easy little quilt to make. I did this as a class before Christmas.

I started this quilt at Sandy's retreat a long time ago. I can't remember when, it was that long ago. I didn't quilt this one, I gave it to Evol to do. She had just received a lot of new funky quilting patterns so we picked one off them for her to play with on this quilt. Turned out really good. Very pleased with the design.

 It was back in to the cupboard to find a UFO to finish. Pulled out my Sue Ross "Circles of Fun" quilt. I don't know how many times this quilt has been out of the cupboard to be finished and always went back in with nothing done to it. But!! This time I got busy and finished it or I should say almost finished it. I just have the borders to put on. This is one of the blocks that the quilt is made up of. Another pat on the back for me.

It's getting late and I haven't had tea so I had better go. Hopefully I will finish the "Circles of Fun" over the week-end. Good Night.
