Sea Glass finished

Ta da!  Made from fabrics purchased at Periwinkle Patchwork, pattern is called Sea Glass from a book called Mini Wonderful Curves by Jenny Pedigo and Helen Robinson for Sew Kind of Wonderful - who make the mini curve ruler.
On display in my backyard while the sun was shining and the wind blowing.  Its winter so I cannot complain, just grateful for the rain!
I FM quilted this myself with three long swirls to cover each clamshell, in matching thread.  This pattern was suggested to me as it looks good if you don't manage to quilt back over the stitching line exactly it still looks good.....which was a great idea as my FMQ is still a WIP!
Bound in a grey Cotton and Steel fabric, I am very pleased with this finish. Its is to be gifted to a friend who needs a quilty hug. 
Super pleased our gazebo now has a roof but still waiting on the electrician to put in lights and plumber to hook up to the storm water.  Hubby is going to attach wood slats to the west end and around each side to semi enclose from the weather.  That process has commenced (varnishing wood) but paid work has to take priority at the minute.
Happy quilting Sue.

Sunflowers

My youngest son's teacher gave him some sunflower seeds.  I planted them (with him and he has shown zero interest since) and got this amazing flower.
Then my friend Lisa brought me the Mini Curve ruler book - by Sew Wonderful, which has a beautiful sunflower quilt in it.  I was planning to make another quilt first but wanted to practise my cutting technique...and sewing the curves!
So I made a couple of units from stash...which evolved into these blocks, which in turn became a table runner!
I got totally excited and quilted it! 
Ridiculously pleased with myself!  
Sewing curves is something I have avoided for a long while, but on a roll now...I predict 2019 is the year of curves for me!
Happy quilting Sue.
