A new mini quilt

I thought I would cheat and show you the progress shots (to pad out this post), as I made this quilt.

 But the truth is, it was quick to make, hence I did show them on Instagram, but this little pretty is done and dusted now!

Besides the clarity in this shot is way better then the progress ones!

Another mini finish from my Jo Morton book "Jo's Little Favorites".  This pattern is called Cabin Corners and combines log cabin blocks with courthouse step blocks.  I don't remember making courthouse step blocks before, but they were fun. I have also never been a huge low volume fan, but I enjoyed the challenge here.

A "nearly at the end" progress shot, this is the quilt my Mum started at Patchwork camp a few weeks ago, 

and she has since finished all the blocks and sewn them up. I think she is planning on a thin cream border though on the edge, so really nearly a "flimsy finish".

The pattern was purchased at Periwinkle Patchwork, but the name of the pattern maker or pattern eludes me.

Happy quilting Sue.

Binding party!

There is a great Kim Diehl book to be won over here on Julie's blog and all I have to do is blog about what I have been binding this month....well a lot it turns out!



well firstly there was the red basket mini which need finishing (and happened to be a Kim Diehl pattern)  and just snuck into May so it could hang in our exhibition, 

then I finished the AFL Hawthorn quilt for my son...so big binding was in order.  

Then I followed that with a table runner, 

and a charity quilt.

Finally a bit more binding, around my mini which was sent to the USA for a dolls quilt swap.

And guess what, I have a callous on my middle right finger, from all this binding!

Sheez if that doesn't win me a new Kim Diehl book, then I am going to have to reward myself with a thimble!

Happy quilting, Sue.
