Probably need another 40 or so blocks to be the size I planned.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The blocks are 4 1/2" and are stitched on a thin interfacing as a foundation. They come out very accurate and no precise cutting of the logs is necessary as they are trimmed by scissors along the way. It's a lot of fun using up tiny scraps of all types of fabrics and quite addictive.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCl74s9uHzvJuvqhTq9ZDB1DxgY9lE6MXHI5cJ84LCb9Ng3tTunhMUzjp4w2xah6_SGIhR2R8fGeb5A3zNUcx6U_wCE-naX0VcDthy_2s8PQmP43zA0vPH0vIXFlbisLfrCeLgyYN0je6YKLvZ-PDidk2jckARcJpioXfwYv3L4YmZHVDq2v2f6z0X560/s1242/365980583_311609267904941_5923243578293087029_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="931" data-original-width="1242" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCl74s9uHzvJuvqhTq9ZDB1DxgY9lE6MXHI5cJ84LCb9Ng3tTunhMUzjp4w2xah6_SGIhR2R8fGeb5A3zNUcx6U_wCE-naX0VcDthy_2s8PQmP43zA0vPH0vIXFlbisLfrCeLgyYN0je6YKLvZ-PDidk2jckARcJpioXfwYv3L4YmZHVDq2v2f6z0X560/w640-h480/365980583_311609267904941_5923243578293087029_n.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I had a bunch of 2 1/2" squares so I made this quilt for a relative overseas.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Apologies for the image quality.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4WvYq6SFynKbEmG8GVVRk75fYWAU-wC3o9rZBZwW2jOwEg8aFte8Ak_g7LLHxYvHLd9Le3zSoG5MTugtQF14xk8HfFQ260NZsYyw17FYfjG_2W-Tids1N8ZbDrHaBoI5bQMiIsHxlvbkV5v_dlzsbea4btkJFGi_63m0tdqP8-sc2Xnf7-gB76Bu-3I/s206/340014230_244152361319977_1987414247918823675_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="155" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4WvYq6SFynKbEmG8GVVRk75fYWAU-wC3o9rZBZwW2jOwEg8aFte8Ak_g7LLHxYvHLd9Le3zSoG5MTugtQF14xk8HfFQ260NZsYyw17FYfjG_2W-Tids1N8ZbDrHaBoI5bQMiIsHxlvbkV5v_dlzsbea4btkJFGi_63m0tdqP8-sc2Xnf7-gB76Bu-3I/w482-h640/340014230_244152361319977_1987414247918823675_n.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Quilting By Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08621853169716139980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-19616674133019736552019-05-07T18:24:00.000+10:002019-05-07T18:24:02.699+10:00Back after nearly 2 years<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It feels like a new beginning after nearly 2 years away from my blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have had some setbacks in my health so my focus was on getting better which left little time and motivation for sewing or creating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hopefully I am slowly getting back into more projects and be around people who are inspiring in the textile side of things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">With that being said, I finished a little piece of wool applique.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion, NO, I don't have a new man in my life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am quite happy with the one I have had for 34 years but the one on the photo below is <a href="http://davekoz.com/" target="_blank">Dave Koz</a>, the wonderful and talented saxophone artist who organises these wonderful Smooth Jazz cruises every year in various parts of the world.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So early May a group of friends from the USA and Australia and I met in Venice, Italy and enjoyed 11 wonderful days inspired by the music and all the sites we visited.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">We departed Venice to arrive in Dubrovnik (Croatia) the next day and in the subsequent days went to Kotor (Montenegro), Santororini (Greece), Ravenna (Italy) and back to Venice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8yyPvREQXEw/WT5ZifkR-BI/AAAAAAAAEZ4/AIYOU1pl2EY36ENVKrg1s1meTiT6pIxnACLcB/s1600/IMG_3336.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8yyPvREQXEw/WT5ZifkR-BI/AAAAAAAAEZ4/AIYOU1pl2EY36ENVKrg1s1meTiT6pIxnACLcB/s640/IMG_3336.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After that some of us went to Portugal for another week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I presented my friend Cristina with this quilt I made for her.</span> </div>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1pfTQdb_OwQ/WT5Zns1mhPI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/j9--6Zae63UJS9AFmkkba83YDjzzKzMYACLcB/s1600/IMG_6585.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1pfTQdb_OwQ/WT5Zns1mhPI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/j9--6Zae63UJS9AFmkkba83YDjzzKzMYACLcB/s640/IMG_6585.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now I need to settle down from all the excitement and resume my quilting; still have many tops that need quilting and just as many in progress... And still so many ideas to start new ones.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What makes it interesting, is digging up fabrics you forgot you had and sewing them together to make a very easy quilt. Instead of having them in a bag stored somewhere with little use, join the scraps together and they become a beautiful quilt like this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fun thing about this quilt is that no pattern was necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my latest completed quilt !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another top I had completed a few months ago and was placed in the 'to quilt' basket.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoyed making this quilt; no planning, just grabbing bright fabrics and a variety of background fabrics. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had some leftover wool bits and pieces and added them to the centres of the flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the backing, I did not have a fabric piece large enough, so I grabbed some leftover blocks and joined them.</span><br />

This quilt is called "Ryland Manor". It was a block of the month designed by Megan Carroll for Threadbear in Castlemaine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished the top several years ago but like so many other tops still, it went into the big bag of tops I still have to quilt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YRlzN19Y_eU/V_9HW_gPm7I/AAAAAAAAEVk/nxUfpoklKH8H5SjLfZ-cBUdq4QS6rPn6QCLcB/s1600/Celias%2Bquilt3%2B111016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YRlzN19Y_eU/V_9HW_gPm7I/AAAAAAAAEVk/nxUfpoklKH8H5SjLfZ-cBUdq4QS6rPn6QCLcB/s640/Celias%2Bquilt3%2B111016.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The blocks are hand pieced or appliqued. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then quilted it free-motion the past couple of weeks on my Handi Quilter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hopefully next week I have something else to post...<br />
I still have so many more quilt tops to finish.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I would like to start a new quilt but I am waiting on the fabrics to arrive from Hancock's of Paducah so until then I'll just keep on what I have. The reality is that I don't need a new project but ..... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Last week I lost the pouch I use to keep my cell phone, so I made a new one to replace it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here it is....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWeiuS8C2so/V2tHwiZj5UI/AAAAAAAAEVI/Vgo0qX0a8do6n78hQ5PCi9dNy6n9iG13wCLcB/s1600/Phone%2Bcase%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWeiuS8C2so/V2tHwiZj5UI/AAAAAAAAEVI/Vgo0qX0a8do6n78hQ5PCi9dNy6n9iG13wCLcB/s640/Phone%2Bcase%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have tons of beads so why not make use of some .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The other fun thing that happened a few days ago was presenting my work friend with his 60th Birthday quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UwNzG4-BR4E/V2tHzQmCJoI/AAAAAAAAEVM/Kefe6qBKb7Av2j5OKa-IBvt2sojiYi6XgCLcB/s1600/Alex%2527s%2B60th%2Bbirthday%2B210616%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UwNzG4-BR4E/V2tHzQmCJoI/AAAAAAAAEVM/Kefe6qBKb7Av2j5OKa-IBvt2sojiYi6XgCLcB/s640/Alex%2527s%2B60th%2Bbirthday%2B210616%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The pattern was a Bonnie Hunter mystery but I made it with less blocks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He did not expect the gift and was very happy to receive it.</span>Quilting By Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08621853169716139980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-84469080547198902532016-05-30T12:42:00.000+10:002016-05-30T12:42:04.652+10:00Modern Dresden and other little projects<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my latest quilt top !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WWIzvNkCohI/V0ugZWvNGXI/AAAAAAAAEUg/mZpaFCSXnqoyDz9MdgN5eMVEWITN8PhegCLcB/s1600/DSCN6306.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WWIzvNkCohI/V0ugZWvNGXI/AAAAAAAAEUg/mZpaFCSXnqoyDz9MdgN5eMVEWITN8PhegCLcB/s640/DSCN6306.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It started with the centre block which was going to be a cushion. The circle flowers, the bird and part of the leaves </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">are made from wool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Most of the quilt was machine pieced.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EUv_Eg8p2Yk/V0ugZW_ofyI/AAAAAAAAEUk/0DBUFZUSEywek0JS3VxqFqc3fzydiZCgACLcB/s1600/DSCN6308.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EUv_Eg8p2Yk/V0ugZW_ofyI/AAAAAAAAEUk/0DBUFZUSEywek0JS3VxqFqc3fzydiZCgACLcB/s640/DSCN6308.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been going over a box of orphan blocks and leftover bits and found some wool applique pieces which fit with the entire design.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-miKHc-BHgPQ/V0ugZR-f8VI/AAAAAAAAEUc/GG2edkyoT0IMcruxQtfJWQst2itEnAPtQCLcB/s1600/DSCN6309.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-miKHc-BHgPQ/V0ugZR-f8VI/AAAAAAAAEUc/GG2edkyoT0IMcruxQtfJWQst2itEnAPtQCLcB/s640/DSCN6309.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To tie in the Dresden plates and cover the centres I also used wool.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eu4D5NLVw3o/V0ugcLFlVgI/AAAAAAAAEUo/1TBTaJbafDoz_JfZ-_92-pik8oRtIy8UwCLcB/s1600/DSCN6310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eu4D5NLVw3o/V0ugcLFlVgI/AAAAAAAAEUo/1TBTaJbafDoz_JfZ-_92-pik8oRtIy8UwCLcB/s640/DSCN6310.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea was to just pick up lots of bright fabrics and high contrast and go for it !</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Amv7sbs8jcg/V0ugcCMNUfI/AAAAAAAAEUw/wMHKQJO5NZQe4z65s0SfDQziEOVszeNNgCLcB/s1600/DSCN6311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Amv7sbs8jcg/V0ugcCMNUfI/AAAAAAAAEUw/wMHKQJO5NZQe4z65s0SfDQziEOVszeNNgCLcB/s640/DSCN6311.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">My daughter was going to throw away these picture frames so I made these 2 mini blocks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And finally here is our baby Penny. I got her for my daughter but she hangs out with me a lot of the time... sometimes slows me down with my sewing but how can we resist this little cute face ?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love making mini quilts and playing with scraps is even more fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So here is my latest project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pMYw0Nqwnr4/Vy2ZfTUrDXI/AAAAAAAAETU/GQw3E2uZ4iMx769gBRSqk2cGDyKPKS17gCLcB/s1600/DSCN6287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pMYw0Nqwnr4/Vy2ZfTUrDXI/AAAAAAAAETU/GQw3E2uZ4iMx769gBRSqk2cGDyKPKS17gCLcB/s640/DSCN6287.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I also need to practice a lot more with my machine quilting...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wQUBETrNsYI/Vy2ZwP0JWmI/AAAAAAAAETY/fBBOT1t7CKQD5wYT_UAGiFcMZe_5I2qMQCLcB/s1600/DSCN6284.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wQUBETrNsYI/Vy2ZwP0JWmI/AAAAAAAAETY/fBBOT1t7CKQD5wYT_UAGiFcMZe_5I2qMQCLcB/s640/DSCN6284.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came across </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://robinruthdesign.com/about/" target="_blank">Robin Ruth Rulers </a>which allows me to make Mariner's Compass blocks from strips. There are very clear instructions on Youtube so here is the test block I made.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJ4zuR-8wAE/Vy2ljOTtZOI/AAAAAAAAETw/AA1QVUt_2Yoab9lH8PQr3KQrGwMed18IwCLcB/s1600/DSCN6277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJ4zuR-8wAE/Vy2ljOTtZOI/AAAAAAAAETw/AA1QVUt_2Yoab9lH8PQr3KQrGwMed18IwCLcB/s640/DSCN6277.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJ4zuR-8wAE/Vy2ljOTtZOI/AAAAAAAAETw/AA1QVUt_2Yoab9lH8PQr3KQrGwMed18IwCLcB/s1600/DSCN6277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The blocks can be made in 16 sizes from 6" - 36" using the exact same process. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will be making a lot more blocks in the future.</span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZJuhBWbPxg/Vy2lJnxgkBI/AAAAAAAAETs/IoQpNQEuPs0BdliVdmJ8FSesMHY5AQ8tQCLcB/s1600/DSCN6292.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZJuhBWbPxg/Vy2lJnxgkBI/AAAAAAAAETs/IoQpNQEuPs0BdliVdmJ8FSesMHY5AQ8tQCLcB/s640/DSCN6292.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another ruler that I have been wanting to buy for a very long time is Deb Hunter Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Ruler. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz7AgxkguOc/Vy2l4nFfvlI/AAAAAAAAET4/KAipPUVB2k8z-MtPzex91xDLXKZV0zbfwCLcB/s1600/DSCN6285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz7AgxkguOc/Vy2l4nFfvlI/AAAAAAAAET4/KAipPUVB2k8z-MtPzex91xDLXKZV0zbfwCLcB/s640/DSCN6285.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my block using that ruler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will make a full size quilt at some point....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-68xdMxZaxsY/Vy2mD9HWXFI/AAAAAAAAET8/0xqKjf0cUe8kqlAxYwTvrrsLJ1QQtIrMgCLcB/s1600/DSCN6289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-68xdMxZaxsY/Vy2mD9HWXFI/AAAAAAAAET8/0xqKjf0cUe8kqlAxYwTvrrsLJ1QQtIrMgCLcB/s640/DSCN6289.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although it doesn't look like I have been doing a lot, I actually am working on a Bonnie Hunter quilt but won't post until the top is complete.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I also been using up more of my tiny scraps to make more Log Cabin blogs (4 1/2") and adding it to a quilt I started years ago. I'll just keep going until I have had enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I also played with another of my rulers I have had for several years but all that will be for another post.</span>Quilting By Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08621853169716139980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-43687325422915992692016-04-17T09:58:00.000+10:002016-04-17T09:58:52.775+10:00Scrappy Bargello Quilt Top and AQC 2016<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just finished another scrap quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is another of the free patterns from Bonnie Hunter, Quiltville website.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Made this baby quilt for my cousins daughter who is expecting a baby next month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The nursery décor is teddy bears, so I hope it fits well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I made this very same pattern about 19 years ago for my other cousin's son and from memory I think it was a McCalls Quilting magazine.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OUBD8cC5RL4/VwDha4F6RaI/AAAAAAAAERE/__kTC28dh9gj8dtV173tc5oiNVcfuDVZg/s1600/DSCN6143.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OUBD8cC5RL4/VwDha4F6RaI/AAAAAAAAERE/__kTC28dh9gj8dtV173tc5oiNVcfuDVZg/s640/DSCN6143.JPG" width="640" /></a> </div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was all machine appliqued, pieced and quilted with the exception of a little embroidery on the face.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another finish ! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This top had been completed June 2015 and it seemed a real shame not to be in use. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I loaded on the Handi Quilter and got it done !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Really happy how it turned out.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the fabrics came from my stash and they all have stripes or dots and I did not even use all from my collection; actually I did not realise how many I had ! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I still many more tops to quilt because I keep making them.... In fact I have another quilt already loaded so next blog post I will show it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I am also doing some blocks from two of Bonnie K Hunter's quilts; if I like them enough they will become quilts too...</span>Quilting By Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08621853169716139980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-55519326633662462602016-03-07T19:44:00.000+11:002016-03-07T19:44:04.192+11:00<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of years ago I participated in Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. I had done a couple of her mysteries before so I was keen to do another one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So here is my version of Grand Illusion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RO45aTJIZ_w/Vt06mddOriI/AAAAAAAAEP4/3DyzSfi2ZYM/s1600/DSCN6106.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RO45aTJIZ_w/Vt06mddOriI/AAAAAAAAEP4/3DyzSfi2ZYM/s640/DSCN6106.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There was quite a lot of pieces to sew and cut and although I did cut all the pieces and made up most of the blocks in the end I did not want to have such a large quilt.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cObxyVEEGys/Vt06UrNo29I/AAAAAAAAEP0/5MjGANKunOE/s1600/DSCN6105.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cObxyVEEGys/Vt06UrNo29I/AAAAAAAAEP0/5MjGANKunOE/s640/DSCN6105.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This quilt is going to be a gift for a work colleague who turns 60 in a few months time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He's a mathematician, so I think he'll appreciate the intricate patterns and shapes of the blocks.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NUHQuYC_J58/Vt06mypWiqI/AAAAAAAAEP8/QIwsIdehwWo/s1600/DSCN6108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NUHQuYC_J58/Vt06mypWiqI/AAAAAAAAEP8/QIwsIdehwWo/s640/DSCN6108.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The quilting is very open and basic because too much quilting would probably clash with the busyness of the many pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have a couple of other quilts on the go, mainly scrap quilts and a couple of other tops ready to be loaded on the Handiquilter. Now I just have to 'squeeze' more time to get all this done !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is my completed lap quilt which was purchased from Connecting Threads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I really like the colours.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This quilt top has been completed quite sometime ago but sat on the pile of tops to be quilted. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here it is ! Quilted and bound and it's going to a dear friend in Canada !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1WCuAXJsUQk/VrTkAXYE9GI/AAAAAAAAEPU/NB-UwzGAkNU/s1600/DSCN6090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_763540="null" qva="true" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1WCuAXJsUQk/VrTkAXYE9GI/AAAAAAAAEPU/NB-UwzGAkNU/s1600/DSCN6090.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some close ups of the quilting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I was also inspired to make the first block published by Aurifil Designer of the Month for 2016. You can check the pattern <a href="https://auribuzz.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/aurifil-2016-january-designer-of-the-month-heather-valentine/#more-6672" target="_blank">'here'</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have so much fabric that making these blocks will not deplete my stash.</span><br />
<span style="background: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weather has been nice but a bit more rain would help the grass.... the succulents are doing very well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b79oEvfhyqY/VpraHQGD51I/AAAAAAAAEOU/qdtNAHsP4_c/s1600/DSCN6074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b79oEvfhyqY/VpraHQGD51I/AAAAAAAAEOU/qdtNAHsP4_c/s640/DSCN6074.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The majority of these fabrics came from several African countries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The South African prints were purchased when I travelled there a few times. I really like the one with the image of Nelson Mandela.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YT97Ozl4UeA/VprarGxsVaI/AAAAAAAAEOc/qAA2Afcs-Rc/s1600/DSCN6075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YT97Ozl4UeA/VprarGxsVaI/AAAAAAAAEOc/qAA2Afcs-Rc/s640/DSCN6075.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What I love about these fabrics are the vibrant colours, the designs and the symbols they represent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVcQRP4agbw/Vpraq6uDvPI/AAAAAAAAEOg/89l1AEne7jc/s1600/DSCN6076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVcQRP4agbw/Vpraq6uDvPI/AAAAAAAAEOg/89l1AEne7jc/s640/DSCN6076.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For this quilt I selected a few of these fabrics and made a background in a crazy patchwork and then machine applique the elephants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This quilt is a gift for someone who loves Africa and animals; hope he doesn't see the blog before he receives the quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The design was inspired by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made this quilt for my daughter to celebrate her going into year 10.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As it was a nice day today and for a change I lay it on floor in front of my studio; notice Penny was watching every move I made.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ome of the fabrics I have had for many years and I don't even like them but placed with other newer fabrics it all looks good.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did not have a large piece for the back of the quilt, so I pieced several blocks to make the backing.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;">But I am sure there will be plenty of goings on...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We ended the year with a new addition to the family;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Meet Penny; our 11 week old kitten. She came from the shelter and from the moment we saw her we knew she was the one. Very alert, playful and so cute. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d9FKLsm_tIE/VoYTZmwQKXI/AAAAAAAAEMs/kW6yn4Afjdk/s1600/penny-best.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d9FKLsm_tIE/VoYTZmwQKXI/AAAAAAAAEMs/kW6yn4Afjdk/s640/penny-best.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">She has made herself at home trying to play with our boy (cat) and girl (dog). I think they will eventually get along and will get used to such an active little creature. She is fully toilet trained, eats well and follows my daughter wherever she goes. And of course made herself a little nest in one of my fabric scraps basket.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gNWtHn4FBFo/VoYTe_n6bnI/AAAAAAAAEM4/Uo46sM2mU2g/s1600/Penny.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gNWtHn4FBFo/VoYTe_n6bnI/AAAAAAAAEM4/Uo46sM2mU2g/s640/Penny.jpg" width="480" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The past six months I haven't done much sewing. I have spent my time doing a fair bit of gardening, including trying my hand at growing flowers from seeds and doing quite a lot of home decorations and renovations as well as reducing the excess things in my home. It's quite liberating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On the quilting front I completed the 2015 Summer Block of the Month, hosted by Craftsy and taught by Kimberly Einmo. It didn't seem to take much effort as we only had to complete 4 similar blocks per month.<br />
<div class="nameAttribute">
So here it is, the photo was taken a few minutes ago.</div>

<div class="nameAttribute">
The fabrics came from my stash of batiks and it was real fun working with these....</div>

I will not be quilting it just yet as I have a quilt I need to finish off for a 60th birthday coming up in a few months time.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It would have been a shame to have them in a box as a UFO, so I put them together and finished the quilting this week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I love Craftsy !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have purchased quite a few classes not just quilting but also cooking, bag making and many others, so when I saw the new <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2015/07/2015-summer-free-bom-class/" target="_blank">FREE Summer Block of the Month </a>I </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">immediately signed up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The quilt runs for 6 months and the blocks are made up of 17 star blocks with the quilt ending up 70" X 70". </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">The quilt is called Night Stars and the instructor is Kimberly Einmo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have some of her books and 2 of her paid classes from Craftsy .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The first instalment for July are 4 stars and these are mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">All the fabrics came from my stash of batiks and I should have enough for the entire quilt.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course I had to get my 'scrap fix' this week, so made a few more mini logcabin blocks for the ongoing quilt. They are so cute and I can't stop making them.</span><br />
