It's been a busy weekend

[ATTACH=CONFIG]449642[/ATTACH] A little table topper for myself
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449643[/ATTACH]One for my son and DIL. Must do something about the shocking lighting in this house because this is the same fabric as the one above.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449645[/ATTACH]A pair of these for myself with the scraps from the table toppers. These are wadded and lined with fire retardant cotton so quite substantial items
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449646[/ATTACH] Another tt for my eldest son and DIL. I always struggle with this colour scheme but as purple is Gemma's fav colour I don't have a say in the matter!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449647[/ATTACH]A little one for my youngest son and DIL. I thought this might appeal to my little grandson. I was experimenting with scissors and folded paper when I decided to follow through using fabric.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449649[/ATTACH] A teeny tt to use up some squares and try out some more of the messing around with stuff
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449651[/ATTACH]This is the reverse of the other one.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]449652[/ATTACH]And my main task was finishing the borders, quilting and binding this one. Was devastated when I realised I hadn't bought enough of the border fabric to mitre the corners. Was a major headache wondering how on earth I was going to get it finished as there wasn't enough fabric even to square off the border. Had to strip the border down to its different patterns and managed to get it to go all around by inserting small framed panels on each side. The fabric is glorious. I've ordered some more in the cinnamon and black combo and this time I made sure there will be enough border fabric. A learning experience for sure!

You do beautiful work! Surely you didn't do all that in one weekend!

WOW what a busy time for you. Beautiful projects!

joyce888 12-02-2013 07:18 PM

OMG you certainly know how to make the most of a weekend! Beautiful items.

Sheilz 12-03-2013 12:20 AM

Thank you! All was made possible because I hired a local Gammill machine to do the quilt. Four hours to quilt instead of four hours struggling to put it all together at home! Would've been tearing my hair out attempting to complete this on the dining room floor.

Lol! My other half does all the cooking anyway. He's much better at that than I am. He's off work recuperating from an eye injury so is allocated as chief cook and dog walker. Teenage daughter is currently doing household tasks to earn money towards an expedition to Southern Africa next summer. So with cat charged with licking the dog clean, all bases were covered. Ha ha I will pretend that there wasn't a pile up of dust on the furniture!

That was a truly productive weekend!

Babs194068 12-03-2013 03:06 AM

Rock and roll, girlfriend! You were a quilting beast this weekend. Great job!

All are very nice. Glad you made something for yourself too. Love the quilt colors

btiny36 12-03-2013 04:38 AM

A busy weekend indeed. Love it all. I really like the border material and I bet it looks good in the cinnamon and black.

Barb_MO 12-03-2013 04:54 AM

All gorgeous, I was so intrigued with the santa on I had to download and enlarge the picture to see how it was done. Very clever. The last quilt is to die for. Beautiful fabrics and you used them in a perfect way.

gabeway 12-03-2013 05:49 AM

You've been busy! Some really awesome work!

Quilter 65 12-03-2013 06:01 AM

My goodness, I think you didn't get much sleep.

Sheilz 12-03-2013 06:08 AM

Thank you all very much. I'm hoping the black and cinnamon will look good. And no I didn't get much sleep but I enjoyed the weekend. The cutting machine just kept churning out the fabric so felt obliged to do something with it!

azwendyg 12-03-2013 06:10 AM

You weren't kidding when you said you had a busy weekend! Lovely work.

tessagin 12-03-2013 06:15 AM

The quilt is stunning and the other pieces are adorable! Superb job. I think the small framed panels actually add to the uniqueness of the quilt!

mighty 12-03-2013 07:43 AM

Boston1954 12-03-2013 05:26 PM

Fantastic!! I have not done that much in the last five months! You are really soaring. Thanks for showing us.

RedGarnet222 12-03-2013 05:41 PM

Oh dear ... You put me to shame. I am a slow quilter/sewer. I did finish two table runners and that many pot holders... LOL!

All that funny stuff being said. I love the projects you made. The quilt is so beautiful I love the fabrics so much. The other ones have great fabrics in them too. Such nice Christmas presents.

nannyrick 12-03-2013 05:50 PM
