baking and making with my family of 9
on thursday I decided (rather bravely) that I would make keira a quilt for christmas…..by saturday night I was quilting it but I have to say I’m only a third of the way through the quilting so I’ll be rushing it over the line for Christmas. Normally I’m baking up a storm in the days before christmas but this is so much better for my waistline….
so here is a sneak peek…it’s my first single bed quilt, my first coin quilt and my first jelly roll quilt and I’m loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my grandma betty will love and appreciate anything I make, she is my grandma after all. I wanted to give her something more than chocolates and a nice photo of the family this year and decided a quick charm square lap quilt would be perfect. This is Botany by Moda and is a perfect match for her green velvet couches!
Backed in some beige homespun from my stash and the binding came from my stash too! I just love when you can find everything you need in your stash!!!!! And I’ve quilted with my improving (but still very much a beginner) free motion quilting!
Another present ticked off the list! Thank goodness because spending half the day at Chatswood Chase with the kids is enough to make you get sewing for everyone!!!
Lovely quilt, I’m sure Grandma will love it!
Aren’t the shops CRAZY busy??? I’m almost glad to be broke this Christmas, means I have to sew more gifts, but at least I don’t have to brave the shopping centres!
I read about the Sew It get together in one of your earlier posts, and am hoping that there are still spots available. I’ve emailed Sheridan. It sounds like lots of fun!
Merry Christmas!
love your quilting, i think you have done a wonderful job…I am hoping to learn, have all the gear, just need to clear some time to have a go
So lovely Corrie, I’d love to receive a gift like that – I love the free motion quilting! But where oh where do you find the time???
Your Grandma’s quit is just beautiful, I am sure she will love it
Well done & Merry Christmas!
Lovely quilt – such a nice present!
I think Grandma will be very happy with that. Your free motion quilting looks great from the little bit I can see.
That quilt looks gorgeous. I’m very much a beginner with quilting and haven’t really given it a go yet….one day!
Lovely quilt, I’m sure Grandma will love it!
it’s sure is crazy out there…
