A mini finish

I am playing along with Cheryl and have joined her mini quilt club, 

this month we are making mini quilts to celebrate St Patricks day in March.

Now I don’t even know who am going to be sending this to – it could be you.

 

 

I started this last weekend and have quilted it and bound it this afternoon.   See my little free motion shamrocks I am pretty proud of them

I know its not a UFO, but this is likely to be my only Finish for February so I needed to share something.

February Finish

I have a little finish of a UFO that has only been going since December 2011. I made mug rugs for Christmas presents that year and had a couple leftover. Yay I was going to get them. So often I make goodies for others, love them to pieces and with good intentions plan on making it for myself, and then never get around to it. Alas I did not buy enough backing fabric, so they have been taunting me ever since. Leftovers from another project to the rescue and they are finished.

I will pack these away until next Christmas now. They match my table runner so I am super chuffed to have them ready. 

A Valentines Day finish

Just in the nick of time...3 years later! LOL. It has been pieced, waiting so patiently to be quilted. And now it is. I did this as a class sample a few years ago.




Crazy Hearts, a Buggy Barn pattern. I meandered around the hearts, did pebbles in the outer heart and echoed the inner hearts. I did add a few 'kisses', 'love' and 'hugs' for my hubby's sake.





Happy Heart Day to my hubby!

Second UFO Finish…

It is a tiny finish but a finished UFO just the same… I made this "Spool Mini" last year or was it the year before ???



Any way all it needed was the little loops to put the hanger on and a label on.… Now it’s done and on it’s way to a new owner…..

I'm Taking Credit

This is my first post to the blog and I hope you don't think I'm cheating!  This lovely quilt was made by my daughter Melanie some years ago as you can probably tell by the Prints Charming fabric used.  Melanie has to move interstate and in cleanup mode before the move, she gave the quilt to me.  My friend Evol has a Gamil and quilted it for me and I simply completed the binding.

It looks so bright, fresh and relaxing that I'm sure it will bring joy to the person it will be gifted to!

Aussie Hero quilt

Another one is done.
I had cut out squares and started making blocks for a quilt about 4 years ago before a Grandie was born, then the nursery theme changed, and I didnt carry on.  By adding a few more blocks, and changing it to a disappearing 9 patch I have now made an Aussie Hero quilt.

 This one is being sent to a person serving on one of our Navy ships. It is a combination of sailing, surfing, lighthouses, penguins and other sea pics, so hopefully he will like it.

   

Shoo, Flies

Another one out of the UFO drawer and ready for use -
 A few years ago we were making a mesh food cover at our sewing club.  We used the Double Mitre Ruler by the Sewing Revolution to make the frame, then a mesh fabric sewn into the frame.  The corners were to be weighted, but as I have not found the pattern, I am not sure how that was done.  I decided not to try weighting them at this stage, and can do so if needed at a later time.
I did the frame in the class, so just had to sew the mesh in at home.  

This will be very useful at picnics.  Every time we are eating outdoors I think I must finish this off so we can use it to cover the food from the flies that like to invite themselves along.  Now I just need to remember to pack it.
