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…

I think the quilting is done…

Here's where I am: The original idea was to fill the outer channel with circles, the way I have done around the diamonds.  I am debating whether to do that or just leave it as it is.  Any opinions? My original plan was to make a loop to continue the curvy part of the border…

Some progress made

My ruler quilt is sandwiched and ready for some experimentation.  I could have gotten started on the actual quilting, but I got distracted.  The first step will be stitch-in-the-ditch around major seam lines using the straight ruler...we shall see if it makes it easier, or if I will be returning to my walking foot for…

Well on the way

The top for my son's wall hanging is largely finished.  Here's the current state.   There is extra length on both sides so that I could adjust the strips as I was making the top, and there are extra strips on the top and bottom (not all of which you can see) because I got…

One Monthly Goal for September

Last month I managed to make my One Monthly Goal, but once again I missed posting the finish.  I should probably give up on trying to join goal setting parties, but I'll give it one more go. I would love to do more work on Dawn to Dusk, but my first priority this month is…
