Where did the time go?

I can't believe it is already mid-April! I haven't been blogging but I have been quilting. I've been working on three projects, all of which have advanced, some more successfully than others. The first project, and the one I have finished with, is a group project that one of the women in my craft group…

Raindrops

Another finish for the year! Rather than working on my Improv Wall quilt, I started playing with the circular attachment for my sewing machine. Here's the result: Raindrops? I'm quite pleased with it on the whole, and amazed that the transparency effects worked out as well and as easily as they did. I had some…

Top Done

I've finished my improv top! It was quite a bit more effort to put everything together since all of the blocks were random sizes and I was trying to make sure I would have enough fabric for the entire top. The header image is how much fabric I was left over with, so I am…

I am still here!

Just a quick update, since, with one thing and another, a lot of time has gone by since my last post. I am quilting! Just not taking many pictures of the my work in progress. After a bit of a break after finishing my last quilt, I began playing with my improv blocks. They started…

Stars

Not long ago, I got an idea for a quilt that I am hoping to make in time for a small craft exhibit in February. I envision multiple stars, from simple to complex, with both repetition and variation of the elements that make up the stars. Clear as mud, I'm sure, but in my head…

Quilt Top Done

I've finished up the quilt top, which I am calling Concourse (to be explained later when it is done). I might have added a bit to the length to improve the proportions...but I have run out of the white background fabric. There aren't very many quilt shops in Israel, and fabric is quite expensive. I…

A Small Update

As I mentioned last time I posted, last weekend I came up with an idea for another quilt using bonus half-square triangles from another quilt I made. My last two quilts have had minimum quilting, so for this one I aim to leave lots of room for more elaborate quilting. The basic idea I came…

There is work in progress

I've been looking forward to the weekend when I would have time to quilt. I've had at least three projects in mind in recent weeks. As you enter my flat, you can see a wall with a hanger for quilts. I've had the quilt hanger for some time, but there was nowhere to put it…
