Having a short term goal to achieve really worked for me over the weekend and a few nights after work this week.
I have stayed focused. I have the slow burning desire to start a new project, but I haven't, cos I need to finish these ones first!

The Bittersweet Briar wall hanging now has all the leaves and stems machine appliqued down, plus a few berries and flowers. The two big flowers are still pinned. I am stumped on the colour for the fourth flower....still tempted to buy more fabric! How did I ever develop this addiction for fabric? Sew glad there is no cure!
The two cot quilts have binding machine stitched one, and hand sewing half done. I will take photos when I can get some better light, so they don't look gloomy like this one!
Happy quilting Sue SA
the block is great.... yes, I love the rocking horse and it is the most perfect prop for your quilts...

Good for you....maybe you can start a new project as a reward! Your rocking horse is the perfect prop for a quilt photo, and very special that you dad made him.
ReplyDeleteYour appliqué is looking great. I love how the four squares that make up the background are rotated. Hopefully, the fabric addiction will never have a cure! What a treasure from your dad. And I did notice the quilt too. Certainly a special gift for a honored person.
ReplyDelete"Sew glad"....he he ...I see what you did there .
ReplyDeleteYour applique looks fantastic. Looks like short term goals worked really well for you! And the scrappy 4 patch is beautiful. (as is that horse which is seriously a work of art!)
Great quilt and a wonderful rocking horse.
ReplyDeleteLove your applique top so far. I have wanted to do that pattern fro a long time but just haven't started it.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you photographed your quilt on the horse. Very pretty.
