A New Quality Controller

Meet Mimi.

All I have to do is to train her to be a quilt tester.

Wordless Wednesday

Gifts Galore!

The nice thing about having a birthday near to Christmas is that sometimes one hit's the jackpot!

The Old One let me order my Christmas presents online this year.  Word Play Quilts was part of the order.

My father then sent me an Amazon gift certificate for my birthday!  Woo hoo!

Here are my purchases.

Oh and the fabric too.  Lucky me!

I love the first Collaborative Quilting book.  We've got a table just like Gwen's sewing table, but The Old One say's it's too heavy for our floors and could end up in the sous sol!  He's using it for his tools instead.  What a waste!

Amish Abstractions is beautifully produced.  I've only got as far as the intro, but I love looking at the plates.  Can't find my original Roman Stripes which became Stripes or Strings

Got some sewing to do.

Speak soon.

Red and White Update

Phew!  Seeing red and white stripes in my sleep!

Worker's Playtime

I decided to give myself a break from THE PLEDGE and have a bit of fun.  After all, a girl can only take so much red and white fabric!

It is also the Liberated Quilters group virtual online retreat this week so definitely play time.

I jumped in with both feet and took part in Tonya's latest challenge.

Oh boy!  What a challenge!

Bah!  was easy.  Water off a duck's back!  Done and dusted in a matter of hours.

A bit big, but never mind - 22" x 14"!

I then started on Hum and did I have fun!

The only trouble was the mmmmmm was 17" long.  So I decided to cut it in half and start again.

f

It seemed to take ages!  In fact it took most of yesterday.

I'm not as pleased with it as I was the previous version, but we can't have everything can we.

So on to BuG.

I haven't got any bug fabric so had to bite into the fabric I got for my niece's quilt, and here is the end result.

Phew - this liberated quilting lark is a tad mentally exhausting!

Think I'll go back to mindlessly piecing strings and red and white blocks!

Got some more stuff to show you, but am waiting for a package to arrive.

More soon.

Another Year, Another Challenge
