Hello there<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/bloggers-quilt-festival/">Bloggers Quilt Festival</a> hosted by the talented <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/">Amy's creative side</a> is on again and I am entering for the first time with my most favourite quilt "White House Hexagons".<br />

I am entering into the<a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/2015/10/23/bloggers-quilt-festival-large-quilt-category/"> Large Quilt category</a>. As you can see this is a large quilt, measuring 2.75m x 2.15m or 108" x 85"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Made entirely of 1" hexagons hand pieced using English paper piecing method. I worked on this quilt for over two years, basting hexagons in the car while traveling with kids sports and visiting family and friends. As the collection of basted hexagons grew I would piece them together into long diamonds, then I would piece 3 diamonds together with neutral hexagon sashings to create a very large hexagon. All the fabrics are civil war reproductions with many neutrals used in the sashing. I machined quilted with straight lines running through the middle of each hexagon side</div>

I really love this quilt and loved making it. It is called White House hexagons, and is based on a quilt made by the daughter of US president James Monroe. Maria Hester Monroe Gouverneur, is the first daughter to be married in the White House in 1820. Maria's quilt was made with 3/4" hexagons and was never finished. </div>

Hello Again<br />
<br />
I have pictures to share today from the Urban Abacus class I taught last week. I love teaching, I get so excited seeing the girls "get" the techniques, stop being worried about what to come, and start having fun when they see it not that hard. Anyone can tell when the fun starts by the way the girls start talking about fabric choices for the next quilt they make.<br />
<br />
Urban Abacus is from Sew Kind of Wonderful and uses the Quick Curve Ruler. So far I feel this is about the easiest quilt to cut and piece using the Ruler.<br />
<br />
We had the class at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>, and again the shop helps us all relax and create in a very pretty and wonderful class room. During the class we get used to the cutting and then sewing curves and then the final trim of the blocks. This all takes time to make sure everyone is confident so when the girls get home they can pick up right where we left off in class.<br />
<br />
<br />
This pink and vintage quilt is mine as a class sample. Everyone knows this is mine, cause it so pink.<br />
<br />

My next teaching gig is on Saturday 30th of May. I will be teaching the Metro Hoops quilt by Sew Kind of Wonderful and the Quick Curve Ruler. The class will be held at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a> again and I believe there are still a couple of spots left, give the girls a call and come along and join the fun.<br />

Hi everyone<br />
<br />
Wow it been a long time since I last posted, so sorry to make you wait, if you are still with me.<br />
<br />
Also several weeks ago I taught a class, at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>, on the Tumbling Blocks quilt, pieced with strip sets and no Y seams, easy as...<br />
<br />
But I now can not remember who's piecing is who's. All the girls were great students and had wonderful fabrics to play with. Thank you Christine L, Wendy, Sue, Christine M, Michelle, Nicky Shirley and Tracey for coming and sharing your passion with me.<br />
<br />
<br />

Sue is using many reds and blues for a traditional feel to the quilt.<br />
<br />

<br />
And in solids for a very striking effect.<br />
<br />
The whole quilt comes down to choosing the right values in fabrics and straight sewing, easy as....<br />
<br />
And one of the girls showed her Metro Hoops quilt top, from a previous class with me. This is fantastic with the dark background and vivid batiks, well done.<br />

I love this teaching this quilt, the fabric choices made by the students are varied and so all the quilts look different but all stunning.<br />
<br />
At the end of the second class the girls had half the quilt sewn together. In the first class we learn how to construct the star points with strip sets. The second class is putting the star points together with the background fabric.<br />
<br />
So here are the girls beautiful quilts. I love how this photo worked out all the halves lined out. I get all excited and start jumping around waiting for the ladies to get to this point, this is when it all comes together and you get your chance to see how all the fabrics have worked together and how stunning it really is.<br />

This is Kathrine's top. It is over the top of mine so it looks a little jumbled. Kathrine used civil war reproductions in greys, green and the pink is actually a red. The background is a cream with red print. <br />

Sharon used blues of all shades for your Lone Star Quilt. This has a completely different feel compared to Thurley's, the fabrics give it a cool feeling. Sharon used a pale blue spot fabric for the background.<br />

I didn't get a photo of Michelle's on her own. So sorry Michelle. Michelle's is the one right in the front of this picture. Michelle used beautiful civil war reproductions also but with greens, pinks and browns with cream background fabric. The same type of fabrics as Katherine but they look so different.<br />

<div align="left" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
This class was fabulous. For me the class was about tackling and mastering Set In seams, there is a lot of these to be done to make this quilt. Leesa calls this quilt Ring Cycles but it is more commonly known as Jacks Chain. Leesa is a great teacher with lots of knowledge and all too willing to share with her students.</div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
First it is making lots of 9 patch units, and 6 units are needed per hexagon. So lots and lots are in order. Mine are pieced very scrappy. These units are 3" finished.</div>

next, a 60 degree triangle is sewn to each 9 patch, starting and stopping at the 1/4 inch mark.</div>

<br />
then attach then all to the centre hexagon, easy as. Yeah Right<br />
<br />

<br />
I had started to make this quilt a few years ago and only got as far as one hexagon unit, slightly put off by all the set in seams. I had many of the pieces cut out and was really really hoping that the same pieces would be right for the class. Yeah they were the exact sizes for the triangles and hexagons.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
right from the start of making this quilt I had decided to use a big variety of neutrals and that was a good decision on my part.</div>

So as of now the I am making more 9 patch units and then joining them to the hexagons. The first pattern I had was putting the quilt top together similar to a Double Wedding Ring with whole and part hexagons sewn in rows. .<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNt92CrA2pxsc5rHkecpRAfJ1SMduHATLXkB9pUkl_9OPCpHv9ZsS16cPC1JnaFIvsD4EguzUpBVmB18GGLwAXytKkWn6jqQ7oK5PEPAsIdXjg5nDgKsJmgQaraCFwkct10p-fZyzgt1N/s640/blogger-image-211468122.jpg" /><br />
<br />
With Leesa's quilt, lots of hexagon units are made and sew together with a two triangles sewn between the hexagons. Rows are made and then sewn together, again with all set in seams. Then half hexagons used at the end of the rows to square off the edges. This quilt will the end up finished when all the hexagons that I had cut previously are all sewn.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I am enjoying making this quilt, set in seams and all. I do want to make this again, this Ring Cycles has been on my quilt bucket list for many years and am very glad I took the class.<br />

Yes, an Accuquilt Go Cutter. As with most dedicated ( or possessed) quilters, I have a pile of scraps and leftovers from past projects. I now hope to get on top of them, turn them into usable pieces and then into new quilts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I bought my Go Cutter from <a href="http://www.baystitch.com.au/index.php">Bayside Stitchcraft</a>. The ladies there were wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have also purchased some extra Die's to help with this mission of scrap taming. The Die's will cut strips in a few different widths for me, and then I can turn the strips across the Die and cut squares. </div>

This is the starting point of my scraps. These are huge tubs and there is a box behind the tub and all are overflowing. crazy....<br />

So after part of a weekend of pressing and cutting and some throwing out of fabric I emptied the tub and the rubbish bin ( the bin is a small one). This felt so good. So what did I turn these scraps into...<br />

Margot couldn't come to class until later in the morning, but she certainly didn't waste time and did a wonderful job catching up and learning what we had already covered. Margot left with a ring complete and smile on her face. Glad you could make it to class, Margot</div>

Catherine with a C ( there were 2 in class) did a great job in class. Catherines bobbin ran out halfway through the last seam at the very end of class, don't you just hate that. But her points meet where they are supposed to, just like all the girls blocks.<br />
<br />
During class we learnt that not all 1/4" feet for machines sew a true 1/4", and that not all Jelly Rolls strips start at 2.5" either. For this class it is important to start with the correct size strip sets. A couple of the strips were narrower than needed so we used the practice curves cut from some pieces I gave the ladies at the start.<br />
<br />
We talked about the seam not necessarily needed to be 1/4" but more importantly having the units been sewn together measuring accurately after the seam is sewn. That is when sewing 4 strips that are 2.5' wide together the final unit should measure 8.5" across. Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville fame has a great tutorial in how to get your units to finish at the size they should <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com.au/2005/06/that-quarter-inch.html">HERE</a>. And <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/sewing-saturday.html">HERE </a>is a link to create an accurate seam guide for any machine. I hope you find these helpful.<br />
<br />
Thank you ladies for a great class on a very wet Saturday morning. I am waiting to see how your quilts turn out and to see you again in a class with me.Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17531850832960667514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916786960080347242.post-66220322584254133142014-08-13T17:17:00.001+10:002014-08-13T17:17:10.170+10:00Snowballs, Snowmen and other quilts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a long term piecing project that I had fun with. Its called Snowballs and Snowmen, well because they are snowball blocks and I used Snowmen Gatherings fabric from <a href="http://primitivegatherings.us/shop/">Primitive Gatherings</a>. </div>

I threw in the reds to add a bit of pop. I just love this angle and the red scattered through out. This again is a largish quilt top at 74" x 90". Snowballs and Snowmen is now sitting in the "to be quilted" pile.<br />

Another top I have finished of late is this <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/product_info.php?products_id=2809">Metro Hoops</a> by <a href="http://sewkindofwonderful.blogspot.com.au/">Sew Kind of Wonderful</a>. I have it quilted but sorry no photo at the moment. I am teaching this quilt on Saturday at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/index.php">The Patchwork Angel</a>. I just love this one too. The colours are so bright and fresh. <br />

I wanted to make another Metro Hoops but was stuck for inspiration. So off I went to the shops and found this display at Bed Bath and Table. Shop displays are always a good source of colour inspiration.</div>

And here are the colours I chose to use. This top is coming along nicely. With this Metro Hoops I have used one fabric for the Hoops instead of strip sets. Its looking good.</div>

A few weeks ago, <a href="http://sewsocrazy.blogspot.com.au/">Jenny of Sew So Crazy</a> and I went to a trunk show put on by <a href="http://apieceofcloth.com.au/">A Piece of Cloth</a>. I cam home with this quilt top, like I need another quilt top or another quilt with 60 degree pieces in it.<br />

There is hand and machine piecing throughout the top. And as this picture will also show you is that some of that piecing is not as accurate as it could be. With this is mind I am working through whether to leave it as is and quilt it or undo some of the machine piecing and work out some of the excess fabric. I know I can't unpick the hand stitching, that has to stay.</div>

So that is about all that has been happening here with my quilting. We have lots going on with the kids activities over the next few weeks, why does everything seem to happen in a short time frame with sports and school stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway, I hope to have some hand sewing to show you next time.</div>

I loved this quilt and so did Barb. She is very happy with how it has turned out. So happy that Barb called me several hours after picking it up to let me know that the quilt was just perfect on the bed at home.<br />

It was very hard to hand these two quilts back to their owners, sometimes my job is not fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I have been doing some hand piecing at night, trying to get some more quilts finished to quilt top stage. I still have more pieces to put together, but it does go together quickly, this part anyway.</div>

I knew not all of it would be where I had hoped because there will always be other things that come along and slow you down.<br />
<br />
So here is where I started just to recap<br />
<br />

The yellow quilt was so very close to together at the start of the day. Now here it is all together. This is a Christmas gift, so far I am on track to have it done by then. <br />

I just love it. The pattern is called Star Blossoms by <a href="http://magnoliabayquilts.blogspot.com.au/">Kim Brackett</a> from her book called <a href="http://www.shopmartingale.com/scrap-basket-beauties.html">Scrap Basket Beauties by Martingale books</a>. The orginal has 12 blocks mine is 16 blocks and measures 65 x65. It was super easy and quick to make. Next is to quilt it.<br />

I did get the bundles of fabric cut, not as far as I had hoped but I was getting tired at the end of the day and thought it was better not to cut them, just in case I stuff it up. These are for <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=0bkgi2t0a37uoij6ru78jbk666&keywords=metro+hoops&x=0&y=0">Metro Hoops</a> quilt by <a href="http://sewkindofwonderful.blogspot.com.au/">Sew Kind of Wonderful</a>. I am teaching this on August 16th at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>. There is already a sample in the shop, this one will be a little different. It will also be bigger than the pattern size also.<br />
<br />

And I got the borders pieced for the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/2013-designer-mystery-block-of-the-month-twelve-block-pattern-set">2013 Mystery Quilt</a>. Many Flying Geese units pieced and then sewn into the border strips. Very happy with them, the border strips are the length I need to fit my quilt top.<br />
<br />
So there you go. I had tried to load these pictures last week but something wouldn't work right to make it happen. Most probably it was user error. Anyway here they are for you to enjoy<br />
<br />
Keep stitching<br />

<br />
Last Saturday I taught the second part of the Lone Star quilt at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>. The girls all had their 8 star points pieced. We had started piecing these in the first class. So this last class was sewing the background to the star points then sewing the star together.<br />
<br />
I was very excited to see the Lone Stars come together. And when they did the results were beautiful.<br />
<br />
Here they are,<br />

I love teaching this class, every one has a different set of fabrics and creates a different feel to all the others. So if you are thinking about making a Lone Star quilt I will be teaching this again in October and November this year at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>. I would love to see your interpretation of this stunning quilt.</div>

I started basting my hexagons at the same time my son started Kart racing. This was something to do while in car and to also help with my anxiety with my son racing around a track at great speeds. So two and half years later I am done piecing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have used Civil War Reproduction fabrics for the pieced diamonds and many random Shirtings, from white backgrounds to tans, for the neutral sashings </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
this is a big quilt, 114" x 91", it does not fit in my camera screen,</div>
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMHRhfmthiijx-oJhVwi86p-5hSFBJhq-aVw5DcVY7Nku0hegyKGYj8a2qgOXoNHimXPPjua5u_0V2UZIRGc_l7ZCOGH754Z98jRefiJo7b6xoVgOnhcUMxusoXRbtLbwNyxwz35U-Bok/s320/blogger-image--1245007378.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
These are 1" hexagons and I have no idea or want to know, how many I have pieced into this top. I do have heaps of leftovers that have just been put away with my hexagon papers, not to be touched for maybe a year or two. I am kind of done with hexagons. I have started another EPP project for Karting road trips, the papers have a 45 degree angle this time.<br />
<br />
It looks different from this angle. I just love this quilt and hope to get it quilted one day now, just trying to find the perfect backing...... I am counting this as a finish though.<br />

This is <a href="http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com.au/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html">Celtic Solstice</a>, designed by <a href="http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com.au/">Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville</a>. This was the 2013 Mystery quilt. if you decide you would like this quilt also, quickly head over to Bonnie Hunters site to get the instructions. As of June 1st 2014 it will no longer be available on her site. It will be included in a book in the future.<br />

<br />
This was a great quilt to learn several techniques from Bonnie Hunter. I especially wanted to make the star block with the black points. When this block is combined with a second block it creates that dark curved circle secondary pattern. Loved it.<br />

My version uses different colours to the original. it was a leap of faith for me to change them and not know how it would look in the end, but I just gave it a go trusting that the colours I chose do go together. My friend <a href="http://sewsocrazy.blogspot.com.au/">Jenny</a> helped me nail down the final choice of colour groups. I did want to have pink in there, but it was just not going to work no matter I chose. I just hoped I had the values/colours in the right place at the end of the process. I used Civil War Reproduction prints mostly. Blacks, oranges, reds, greens and shirtings for the backgrounds. All colour groups have many different prints with some having the other colours used on them.<br />
<br />

<br />
The mystery quilt is offered in 2 sizes, so I made mine somewhere inbetween. I had some units leftover and pieced them into the back. At this stage it is quilted. I am now hand stitching the binding down. I have used the same orange as the last border.<br />

<br />
I don't have alot to talk about, I have been busy but without much to show for it personally. Most of my time has been working on customer quilts, not complaining at all. I am still working away on my hexagons that I have shown several times before, so I wont bore you with that again, but it is getting closer to being a complete top. I have all the rows together, and it is huge, and am now filling in the gaps around the edges. I love this quilt and will show a picture of the top soon, i hope.<br />
<br />
So, to show you what has been filling in my days. This beautiful quilt belongs to Jane, I had fun with this quilt and had trouble handing this one back.<br />
<br />

<br />
This next quilt belongs to Barb N and was another one I had trouble handing back. This is The Circle Game quilt by Jenny Kingwell and looks stunning with the black background and all Kaffe fabrics for the piecing. That lime gree in the sashing is just perfect for the whole quilt<br />

I did get to quilt two of my quilt, but can't find a picture of the second one at this time. I wil look for it or take another one shortly.<br />

This is a mini version of my Pretty Clamshells. It didn't take too long to quilt on a quiet Saturday morning. I have it now hanging in my sewing room and just love it.<br />

This is the back of Pretty Clamshells showing how I quilted each clam with feathers. The backing fabric is one of the piecing I Ice Dyed last year. The colours are perfect. I have crossed this one off my long list of Tops to Be Quilted. and it is bound to<br />

This is next picture is still in need of borders. It is from Bonnie Hunter and is called Nine in the Middle. It is a great scrap quilt and has been easy to put together so far. I have a border still to piece but need some more scraps cut to size to continue. This top also still needs a good press.<br />

Just after Easter, hubby, kids and I went to Melbourne for a few days. We had a great time, I hope to remember to share photos one day. We did a day trip to Sovereign Hill in country Victoria. It is a place showing life in the Gold Fields in the early days of the goldrush. So in one of the homes there was a quilt and it just happened to be hexagons. So of course I had to take a picture. I don't think it is an antique, but at least it fit the time period.</div>

I did take some basting to do on our trip and here is what I got done. These are tiny pieces so it looks alot done but in not alot of time. The down side of this is that I will need heaps and heaps of them to make any sort of decent size quilt...... on I go with them.</div>

thank you ladies for coming to my class and sharing your time and humour with each other. I look forward to seeing these finished someday, no pressure....<br />
<br />
and hopefully in another class with me.<br />
<br />
The next class I am teaching is a Lone Star. This is over two Saturdays, one in May and the other in June. Contact the girls at The Patchwork Angel for details, last I heard there are a couple of spots left.<br />

Welcome to another Finishes post. The school term is nearly finished so some of my spare time has been used to help the kids get assignments and other school work completed and handed in. I did get some bits for myself done also. First up....<br />

I had to get the windows tinted on my car, which happened to be in the same street as <a href="http://www.breezyscakes.com.au/index2.php#!/HOME">Breezy's Cakes</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
so I finished this yummy cupcake and a cuppa while I waited. The things I have to endure!!! The store has kids classes on the school holidays, so my daughter is all booked in for that.</div>

I finished another block in the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> Mystery BOM, very cute. The next block has arrived already, I hope to get it cut this week, fingers crossed.</div>

I have basted 20 bazillion neutral 1" hexagons for my hexagon diamonds, don't they just look lovely. I am hoping this is enough to finish the quilt, but maybe not...<br />

<br />
I basted some 1.25" hexagons also. These are from leftovers and is a very long term project. I started this one Christmas 2012 and am just throwing them into a bucket as I do some. This project stays in my car and is done while I wait wherever for whatever...<br />

My Celtic Solstice top is complete. This was a mystery quilt by <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/">Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.</a> I love this quilt. It is now in the pile of tops to be quilted :(<br />

<br />
and these are some of the diamonds I have completed for the quilt. I have many more done, with only one more complete diamond to make then I can start putting them together into the groups of three, then those into rows, then sew the rows together. then I will have to make the partial diamonds to fill in the gaps at each end of the rows. gosh that exhausting.<br />
<br />
well I think that is it for now. I do have other stuff I am working on but they are not in any form to make a pretty picture, sorry.<br />

This is my St Louis Schmidt. The 36 patch blocks are leftovers from the Scrappy trip Around the World, I then added the Hourglass blocks as alternate blocks to make a decent size quilt. I quilted a spiral circle in the alternate blocks and a simple continuous curve in the 36 patch, then a scrappy binding. I am really happy with it</div>

Four blocks done on the Quilt Block Sampler by Lori Smith, about 80 more to go. These finish at 71/2" and as you can hopefully see, some have lots and lots of pieces. I am having fun making them. I need to cut some more blocks now so I can keep going.</div>

Here is the top so far, it is wide, I like large quilts, ones big enough to cover people. Right now it is about half the length I want. I also need to fill in the holes to make the quilt edges as straight as I can..</div>

Hi everyone</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last Saturday I taught my Spring Picnic quilt to a lovely group of ladies at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a>. Here is my quilt, still needing to be quilted and ironed, but we wont worry about that right now. This quilt comes together using either pre cut jelly rolls or 2 1/2" strips from yardage.</div>

Sally is using jelly rolls and her braids will be sewn with the fabric in an organised pattern so each braid will be the same, lovely. Sally was in my Wonky Stars class last year, she has that one just about finished and I hope to see it soon.<br />

Robyn's Picnic quilt will be in shades of pink, fuchsia and purples, this selection is from a Bali Pop. I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished, might have something to do with the fact that I love pink. Robyn's sashing is an eggplant purple Moda solid, stunning</div>

With thousands of other quilters early last year I started the Scrappy Trip Around the World and I have finally finished the quilting and binding. The pattern is by<a href="http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com.au/"> Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville</a> and is <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com.au/2005/06/scrappy-trips-around-world.html">available for free</a><br />

I have actually used my quilt straight after I finished the binding. I took the quilt with me camping to stitch the binding, so I got to use it on my bed, yay!!!!<br />

I took lots of pictures around the camp ground also, it was windy and overcast so not the best pictures but my ability to take good pictures is not the best anyway.<br />

Friends and family picked out 6 strips each and I then made each into a block. All the fabrics are by Denise Schmidt and from Spotlight stores in Australia some time ago. The backing is really cool, an orange print from Moda, not sure of the name and designer of it. I used an aqua fabric to bind with.<br />

Did everyone have a lovely Australia Day long weekend. We went camping with friends and had a great time. At our peak we had 16 kids camping with us, the kids had a great time with plenty of friends to play with.</div>
<br />
Over the past week I managed to finish another book. I never finish a book this quickly, but I do like this author, Matthew Reilly. Matthew is an Australia and writes great action books with a good bit of history. My son gave me this book for xmas and was waiting for me to read it, I read it very quickly staying up late some nights to finish "this bit, I have to know how this bit ends".<br />

I prepped the flowers for the applique borders I showed last post. The flowers started out as 4 patches.. drew circle and basted around the circle</div>

I then pulled the basting thread around a mylar circle from Karen K Buckley, and spray starched and press the heck out of it.<br />

The summer school holidays ended and off to school the kids went, kind of happy, kind of not. Every year at the end of the first day the kids and I go get ice cream and chat about their teachers, classmates and the school. The kids love the ice cream<br />

I did finish all the blocks for the Bonnie Hunter, Celtic Solstice. </div>

But first, I bought a White Xmas tree. I have always wanted one and this one I got for $10, down from $69.99.... how could I not take it home with me, it is even a 6ft tall tree, not a tiny one. Now I have a year to work out were it will go in the house..</div>

I got some happy squishy mail this week. Several 19th Century squares in gorgeous colours, for now they are with the rest of them safe and sound in a pretty box waiting to be used, hopefully soon...<br />

Now onto a finish or two. The quilt below is my oldest UFO that is a Complete Top. I have older UFO's but they are not complete as yet. I made this top about 7 years ago, before I got my Longarm machine and was going to use this to practice on after a little while, but as you can see that didn't happen. Two years ago I started to quilt it, but my machine played up badly and I had to take it off the frame, get a mechanic in to fix my machine. In the meantime I unpicked the quilting and by the time I got that finished I was well into customer quilts again and had no time to quilt it again. Until this week, I was determined to get it done. My machine played up again as I started to quilt, but I got it sorted and kept going and TADA done.<br />

The curtains below were not on The List at all, they were only something I would like to do someday. They are for the campervan, "Bluebell". I made 8 very, very basic curtains, hoping to pretty up the van, for our next camping trip.<br />

I got the vine and stems finished all 4 borders done, now onto the flowers and leaves, hoping to get them prepped and ready to sew shortly. But yay to getting the vines done !!!!<br />

We had another Karting race day this past weekend, stinking hot day, my son got a 2nd place trophy for the day. I got these hexagons basted in the car, not many this time, but still some is better than none.<br />

Last year I started the Scrappy Trip Around the World with the rest of the world. What I did do was as I saw family and friends, adults and kids, I asked them to pick out strips for a block. It was interesting to see how each person picked colours. Some were even a bit scared to, it helped me get the blocks done with out over thinking it all. I even got my 2 year old niece to pick out 6 strips, it took me about and hour but we got there and she did very well.<br />
<br />
Here it is all quilted and looking gorgeous. I love this quilt, the colours, the family and friends willingness to help me and be part of my passion. I would make this again.<br />

Here is the back, an orange on white print from Moda, perfect. I used a variegated thread on top and a solid orange on the back. I have the binding, aqua, machined on waiting to be hand stitched down this week.<br />

I finished reading "To Kill a Mockingbird". I didn't read this in High School and had always wanted to read and have finally finished and enjoyed it. I would now like to see the movie, the one with Gregory Peck in it, and see how it compares to the book. Has anyone seen the movie, is it close to the book ??????<br />

School holidays are nearly over for the kids. My daughter spent a whole day making these items for her dolls. These are tiny items, I put a 10c coin in the middle there to get a size perspective. Felicity's dolls are now ready for a new year at school, pens, books, laptop, calculator, school bag, so cool</div>

These are some of the blocks I hope to work on throughout the year. The blocks finish at 7", so some of the pieces are tiny and cut at odd sizes, this is going to be an exercise in accuracy and patience.</div>

I found in my collection of rulers the Marsha McCloskey Feathered Star Ruler, it has increments for 1/8th's and 16th's and have found it very handy cutting fabric for the sampler blocks, still have to piece what I have cut so far, so fingers crossed all goes together nicely..</div>

Hi All<br />
<br />
I have been working away on a few things and am calling the steps as Finishes. Sometimes you need the small ones to keep you going towards the big Finishes.<br />

This is block 7 of the 2013 Mystery BOM from<a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/"> Fat Quarter Shop</a>. There are 12 blocks in total, so half way through the blocks, but I have made all that I have received so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

This finish is actually a quilt I am teaching at <a href="http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/">The Patchwork Angel</a> on Saturday 15th February. I have called it Spring Picnic. It is a big quilt, using 2 Jelly Rolls and white solid for the sashings, very easy to make it smaller. I love this Finish. Call the shop to book in..<br />
<br />
Now don't think I have worked my butt off to get this to a completed top. I had pieced the strips late last year and only needed to make the sashing and put together, done. It still needs to be quilted, maybe this week, I would like to bind in a navy stripe, but am not finding something I like as yet.<br />
<br />

<br />
We had a little road trip this past Sunday and I got these hexagons basted in the car.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPFY-6HenRZo2Qc6LWycDfAC584ZRuRW1eMZ6x3CPhdBzELRbE7AFZRSi0M5BenFHcEEKsAwGBUQbC9Hxh5Y-yEvEp8aCQ0eerCorb0tb1rMMFhVPy930H3niLfSqQDQQNqRBuVroKzMI/s640/blogger-image-1090424678.jpg" /><br />
<br />
This is two more diamonds pieced together. The above hexagons will be pieced into these units for <a href="http://quiltinfairy.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/so-little-explanation-with-pictures.html">this quilt</a>.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSEmXAbMsCiGTkeE3eeQmxTPUcD3dXwi2f1NN44LZcwjI4NZrbrH-sxVYeFhKIjGhg-MEcyL38yu2cS-EJTcRBJwkhDrMUIyn3UKIzolKijbOUYD_bu9cDZtkqIqSC4VBDOJcvwnccmi8L/s640/blogger-image--435091950.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I have a hand pieced quilt that needs applique borders to complete it, here is the vines and stems completed on 2 of them. The third is started, when all 4 have the vines then I will work on the flowers so I can get some balance to the colours. I had put off doing this for about a year now, so very happy it is coming along. Oh look my toes made it into the photo<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaRpxpa8Y2bSJkGDUhw82RNKEcTiTMw0CaFpT04twwCxpReK3vPHeRD77yRuIzUyAQa93gyd-MJXq27DoZqup8sgiU6iJVArlkJeST1YLG6vhlpZRewHz__9kR6HoSDJlBPwsB_ViswQVE/s640/blogger-image--646072487.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I have had a sampler pattern for ages and thought I would start it by cutting and piecing as I have fabric already out on my cutting table. Block 1 done but will have to wait and see how well I stick to this plan...<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzt8W_X6S0AwNeznX_RHpXSbHtSWOkSK3TxQa3VTPTbTcnQe5Jv1fbZuW1BIO_nA53qgYOokZzK1iWgMic_PPZ1poh0KDQe8Kplgo2kQShVUdXUNnhbRF5naYNoE7K71PFFT0I3lcY-tE/s640/blogger-image--103581545.jpg" /><br />
<br />
And every project needs cute storage to keep it safe for when it gets forgotten....<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzS-IBV5wFe4XOoOAjb1w2Xer5iIHOX31vi-AZraLliHxDGrNyakflIjentlOPWJjIw-akEARxyNvOOyrzLYifN4el3yJIGK1dbrm9H3_L3CVzrNzoEkDnVUkEJPpgIJN7t-Bx7cSrogC/s640/blogger-image--119982193.jpg" /><br />
<br />
and finally the<a href="http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com.au/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html"> Bonnie Hunter Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt</a>. Here is my pile of alternate blocks, I think there is 42 here<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmu2bk8HM5zmIoxY_RQtVqufDvPDR-yL3eRP2xhb5Gi0eGlD_2xm8SacW3ThU8N2o3KmBFLYNTey9D8LwII9hoTMIQx98oc9sCP7V_IJdbmRD-VPc5-uQgJwpK3heJ1DMrCpg8zc6jHbDO/s640/blogger-image-782889875.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Still working on the Star Blocks, I have about 6 or 7 still to go, but have run out of the 4 patches<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik2SNTpaWBJmFQKtHUyAIr9aNenDODc3F3Si-x077bD3N4ymPxioL9UN1JOJOJLK7LKcJVvyzTapRvHW8gm0_uC4IZI_UBrmAcR90zzewFvxcTsJlcUOXa2fi49AYyKk-94HxGtWcvkhBO/s640/blogger-image-1457445410.jpg" /><br />
<br />
here I have played them the placement of the blocks. I was a bit worried about my choices, but it is going to come very close to how I pictured it in my head, don't you like that when the finished quilt comes close to the vision...<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBdJo07OQ45unhyphenhyphenH_0AXcPNY_jhvf9C9wIfzsI3RreJry527Kod-Jdptpx3VwpOTTHlWXgt8Rs3d8ptNDUV2Jua8TyY3l-3K1GHUDfdy9hAqzv4m1Lby57TXGh65CeMzWAIyzVAzhI4X29/s640/blogger-image-1844201541.jpg" /><br />
<br />
NO quilt comes together perfectly, at some point you have to do some unpicking. This is the first time I will have to unpick, didn't even notice until after I ironed this block..<br />
<br />
Now all of this has been worked on since about the start of the year, not all this week. This is all about seeing the progress, you know yourself that some days you know you have been busy but feel you have nothing to show for it. This is for me to look back at the end of the year and see what I have accomplished and remember what I did.<br />
<br />
Thanks for making it to the end of another long post, I hope you enjoyed the pictures.. What small steps did you get FINISHED this week<br />
<br />
lots of love and Finishing wishes to you all<br />
<br />

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable time with family and friends</div>
<br />
I had a very busy time in the lead up to Christmas and so I really fell off the blog map... very sorry... so here is a summary of all that my family and I have done over the last weeks and weeks and weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />

I finished this quilt for my daughter, it was a Christmas gift for her. There was a few late nights stitching the binding after she had gone to bed. This is Felicity's quilt for the caravan. She was very happy to find it under the tree.<br />

This little bag was made for an end of school year teacher gift. We put lip balm, moisturiser and chocolates inside. Felicity picked out the fabrics.<br />

For my last customer quilt for the year I had a very large medallion style quilt that needed custom quilting on it. Several days later it was finished and delivered. One of the many border had these 4 patches, so I did this cute little flower design that matched the applique shapes in the centre medallion.<br />

With the kids on school holidays we drove to Brisbane and visited my sister. The cousins had a great time playing together. My sister makes glass beads for jewelry, this is Felicity learning how to melt the glass and create some beads. I stepped out of the room and let Avril teach, I was making them nervous with my over protectiveness, that flame is very hot!!!!! Felicity was so rapted with her creations.<br />

The weekend before Christmas Hubby, kids and I spent the weekend in Brisbane doing the Christmas sights. We looked at the window displays, they were not that exciting this year. We walked to King George Square to see the Christmas parade followed by the Pantomime then the lights going on, on the tree. <br />

After the Art Gallery we went in search of a park to have lunch, we stopped at a set of lights, I looked out my window and saw this in a shop window.

So then I had to do some last minute shopping and saw these snowmen hanging around. I have confessed to you my THING for Snowmen, they looked so cool. Well, last week I was in that shop and the snowmen had just been pulled down and were stacked up ready to be put in the bin.... well... I asked him nicely and was able to bring some of them home with me.... never too early to plan for next year...lol</div>
