Patchwork quilting, longarm quilting, machine embroidery. Saturday, 25 August 2012. Trip around the world quilt. I have just completed a trip around the world quilt. Which I did with a couple of jelly rolls. I ran out of white fabric part way through and had to unpick and redo 7 rows but I am really happy with the end result. You will notice the rows in the top are a slight difference in the white colours.
A couple of weeks ago we discovered some seriously quirky little cardboard animals. They were sitting in the window of the Rare Rabbit shop in Arundel. A beautiful shop it is, full of lovely things, so it never takes much to be enticed in. 10 minutes later we were leaving with a box of our very own. He creates playful characters in colourful, vintage patterns. Saturday, 24 May 2014.

The quilted squares were trimmed to 16 inches and joined together using the quilt-as-you-go method. Here are a few more close-ups of some of the quilting. I quilted loose feathers around the entire border and then joined it also with quilt-as-you-go after the 36 squares had been joined together. There was a lot of hand stitching in the joining but the finish is far nicer than machine stitching. And of course yours truly! .
One task down, 963 to go.
I Spy with my little eye. A chicken, a cow, a goldfish. A dog, a bone, paw prints. A cat, a penguin, a bird house. Anyone interested in a kitchen update? It has been worth all the mess and upheaval and it is fabulous. No, it is not a tv but a rather good extractor fan. Sunday, 21 June 2015. So many tracks to choose from and I hope the link works.
