Instead of writing a long post today I prefer to share a few photos.
Here are the quilted Christmas table runners. Both are free-motion quilted with meanders.
And a few impressions from early mornings when walking the doggie, my favorite time of the day.
Thanks for stopping, until next time with some more patchwork stuff, Barbora
I do like to keep the blog up to date with my sewing and quilting whereabouts, but sometimes I just can’t get on the computer and write post. Anyway, I have finished 4 pillow covers for Mary. Mary wanted them in green hues and with log cabin blocks. I made 2 different sizes : 16″ x 16″ / 40 x 40 cm and 20″ x 20″ / 50 x 50 cm.
Whilst reading some quilting blogs, I came over 2 projects :
Linking with Better of Thread and Sew Cute Tuesday. Have a look on the website – maybe you can find some new interesting blogs!!
Lots of sewing ahead….
Thanks for visiting my blog, Barbora
I am so happy that I have finished the lap quilt for my mum. 500 little squares found their place in this quilt. Cutting square size is 2 1/2″, finished square size is 2″. It turned out nicely, the colors are not exactly from my usual palette, but I think the result is nice. It is actually the first time that I have used so many fabrics in gray and black. I have quilted it with a straight line pattern in diagonals. I have used a dark gray quilting thread from Gütermann Sulky in 30 weight. The binding is completely machine stitched from back to front.
Another issue that kept me busy the last week was designing labels for quilts. People have asked me how they can wash a quilt without ruining it. So I decided to make some labels with not only quilt care but also quilt name and size. Inside the labels is free space for a personal note.
This Tuesday I go Prague, looking forward to that! No sewing or quilting for the next 10 days, Barbora
I have finished my very first dolly quilt – what a size difference to the other quilts I made over the last few months. It is a matching set of 2 pillows and a small quilt blanket.
Now back to normal size quilts. I wonder how your quilt tops look like from the back. I have taken this picture when pressing the top to make the quilt sandwich …
… and here it is all ready for quilting.
So, free motion quilting and binding is my target for next week.
