Twister Quilt - June 2022

 

Twister Quilt 

June 2022. 
80.5 inches square

This quilt was started at the Scrub Stitching Retreat in Baradine NSW. 

I had a lot of help from Jo and Chooky to get this going. Thanks to them, I got the top finished beside the borders. 

Now the borders are on.. but only 3 sides...need more fabric

The First Cut

Ready to re sew

Completed with a border. The effect I was chasing for this quilt was more contrasting rather than busy. However I'm proud to finish it, learnt a new technique and I also understand a little more about colour combining.

Now onto the next one..... Churn Dash SAL I think.... 

Satin 'N' Love Baby Quilt

 

Satin N Love Baby Quilt

This quilt is for a very special little girl. I love the blend of White satin and lace. A very close friend gifted my first born with a White satin and lace quilt, so I thought I would continue on with the tradition for her from her Nanny P. 

I played around with my stitches on my new machine to quilt this. I backed it with flannelette so it would be cosy for her. 

Nearly 5 meters of frill and lots of sewing and it is nearly finished. 

And here it is.........finally!!!!

44 x 45 inches of cuddle, snuggle ready for it's new home. 

I hope it gets snuggled with, dragged around, is cuddled when falling asleep and 

comforts her in times of big emotions. 

Most of all I hope it reminds her of how much she is loved.
