Teddy in the cabin cushion

I had this pieced panel that has been left to wait since September 2009 until I picked it up again this month.

I had been hoping to finish it in August but I never managed to quilt it until earlier this month. I decided on a straight lines quilting design off-centred.

And finally last week I made the cushion cover with some teddy bear fabric that I had in my stash from a few years ago.

My cushion is now finished and teddy is now sitting very comfortably in Miss Strawberry Shortcake's room.

Finish 12, 13, and 14

It's been awhile since I posted but I should have a few quilts finished soon, two are at the quilters.  The first finished project is a Christmas mug rug and I had all the pieces and binding made about 2 years ago but never put everything together.

The next two finishes are for a wool Welcome Mat.  Each month there is a different center.  These are from about two years ago and all I had left was putting them together and blanket stitching around.  I have 2 or 3 more months to go... Next one I finish I'll place on the Welcome Mat so you can see what the circles are for. 

 It's the 30th, so I made it in time for an August finish - Yeah!

Autumn wall-hanging

This month, I used a panel I pieced together in October 2009 as part of a challenge to make a skinny wall-hanging.

My starting point this month was this little panel where I had initially sewn the 4 blocks in 2 x 2 rows but I decided I had made enough cushions lately, so I unpicked the panel to sew the blocks in 1 row of 4.

I also used this long-forgotten panel to practise my free-motion quilting and browsed the very resourceful  Free Motion Quilting Project blog before setting on the Sharp Stippling stitch.

I finished sewing the binding last night.

One less UFO in my sewing room, yeah!
