What a lucky quilter I am!

I have been a lucky quilter this Christmas/birthday season!

A lovely red trolley for my sewing (I did have to assemble it myself!) 

DH always buys me a quilting calendar.  He tells me they are getting harder to find, but I am glad he keeps searching : ) 

The MINI Quick Curve Ruler. Yep now I am going to be tackling mini curves...I guess Mum figured I needed a new challenge for 2016!  

 

This lovely book from Lisa is full of great projects, one spoke to me immediately... 

This is THE perfect project for my French General fabric.  

 Lisa also made me this lovely basket, which had some goodies in it.

Vicki treated me to her favorite fabrics, yum!

Yep I am a lucky quilter!

Happy quilting Sue

Final quilt for 2015

I looked at my 2015 wish list and WIP/UFO list a few weeks ago ....and panicked!   Then I found time and inspiration I needed to get these little quilts finished.  DH found the dowel required to hang them.

Only problem was we had to hang them on a new wall....the original wall of mini quilts is full!  This is next to my front door - the original owners had speakers hard wired into this room, which shouldn't be a problem, except when your trying to hang quilts!

But I still had one outstanding WIP. The bears paw wall hanging.  Well its suppose to be a table topper.  I quilted it simply with a diagonal cross hatching.  Its got the hanger corners on, but no label yet.

 I washed it to get rid of the marking pencil.  I am relatively new to using cotton wadding.  I forgot that it makes for crinkly quilts AND I draped it over a drying rack, which made the centre puff up?!!  I like this quilt.  Cannot say I love it.  But looking at it daily might change that, lets hope!

Hanging little quilts is interesting when they are very different sizes!  Think I will have to make some more to match my Temecula We wish you a Merry Christmas, otherwise it looks a bit funny by itself.  Any excuse to make more mini quilts!

Happy 2016 and happy quilting, Sue.
