Darling

The last quilt I finished was at the end of August.  "Darling" designed by Thimble Blossoms and made with her "Nantucket Summer" and "Shoreline" ranges and Moda Bella Solid Navy for the background.  I really like the scallop border.

I asked Karen to use "Modern Loops", a favourite quilting design, on this quilt.

Currently I am working on a king-size "Sugar Dish" quilt - this quilt is designed by Cluck Cluck Sew and I'm adding a few borders.  It is a custom order and is being made in Thimble Blossoms' "Nantucket Summer" with Moda Bella Solid 200 for the background.

Blades for the Dresden Plates.

The pattern is six rows long and six rows wide of rectangular blocks with one row of 6 Dresden Plates.  I added one row to the length and one row to the width.

Then came a plain borders and a flying geese border.

Then a border of more rectangular blocks.

Chequerboard border on both sides to add to the width and next up is a final round of rectangular blocks to reach the width and length required.

One of my favourite designers, Elizabeth Hartman, is now collaborating with Moda Fabrics and this is her latest design, "Show and Tell", made in Moda Bella Solids - I love it!  Really hope Daisy would like this for her big girl bed in a couple of years - I'll let her choose.

Blue and White

I've always loved bows and as soon as I saw this Thimble Blossoms pattern, I knew I'd be making it using "Nantucket Summer" and "Shoreline" light blues and low volumes.  There are so many pretty prints in these ranges.

The quilt top came together so well and I love the scallop border.

"Star Pop"in "Nantucket Summer" and "Shoreline" low volumes is together - this is the small throw size.

Current sewing is "Cakewalk" also in "Nantucket Summer" and "Shoreline" fabrics.

I might start sewing this together later today.

Yesterday my cousin, Stephanie, and I went to see "Titanique" - what a fun take on the movie.  The singing was exceptional.  We loved it.

A couple of quilts are on the way back from Karen:  "Shoreline" version of "Piece and Quilt" Sampler

and Thimble Blossoms' "Takes the Cake".

Last month on my birthday we had some family photos taken - it's been 20 years since the last time.  This photo is my children's favourite.  Right at the end, Steph, Jenni's friend and photographer, told us all to yell/scream.
