Two new finishes

Hi to all,
I have been busy this week and have managed to identify all unfinished items which I posted about during the week and finished a quilt flimsy, all that is left to do on it is to applique the four corners and then of course quilt, which is the thing I enjoy the most currently.
This quilt is Under the Southern Stars by Sue Daley, I decided to do the centre and borders differently from the pattern and have redesigned them.
In the same range of fabrics I have made the kaleidoscope quilt which I have also finished the quilting this week so if is only the binding to hand sew down and make a label. I love the back almost as much as the front and you really can see the quilting.
Also this week I have made four baby quilts from donated orphan blocks. These small quilts are for the neonatal ward of the local hospital, no photo as yet but I will quilt them and then take a photo to show everyone.
Must go and tidy up my workroom so bye for now Jeannette.

New Year update

Hi to all,
Kaleidoscope Quilt
Thought I would pop in and show you the last quilt top finished for 2012, it is also the first one to be quilted for 2013.

The quilt was inspired by a quilt I saw on another blog (Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures) initially it was the colours I was drawn and then the quilting. Here is my version.

The fabrics I have used are from  Fig Tree Quilts and include most of the ranges from the last few years. Here is a photograph showing the quilting so far, it is a mixture of Hand guided Machine Quilting,  and Ruler work.  Hope fully if I work hard I can complete it in a few days.
Talk to you soon
