A Gardeners Journal - Finish

A finish !!!....Yes.... but its not mine.

Lynda (AussieNeedleNut) and dear friend asked me to quilt her quilt and I have just finished,

she has given me permission to post about it, even though she hasn't seen it

 yet, as Hubby and I are off to the Country to deliver her quilt

and enjoy a weekend with Lynda and her hubby. Excited!!!!......

I know that she will be sneak peaking so Hi Lynda, hope you 

like my work.

I have meandered inbetween her stitcheries with a free motion

stitching which I call Hodge Podge its just a mixture of, leaves flowers,

feathers and loops and curves.

I  have feathered the borders starting from the middle

working out towards the ends

So I hope you love your quilt Lynda ...crossing fingers.... and we

will see you soon. Roll on weekend as I am excited about

our little getaway....whoo hoo!!

Soon I will be posting my finish of the same quilt, just a little lot behind in the

stitch a long, no worries

I will get there in the end.

Happy Quilting!

A Gardeners Journal - Linda's

Currently on my machine is Linda's

Gardeners Journal

 

I'm sure she won't mind me showing you

Linda has done a beautiful job of stitching this quilt.

I have done what I call Hodge Podge all over with

feathers in the borders and stitch in the ditch on the embriodered pieces.

 Its looking great, even if

I say so myself.

Excuse all my ends that need to be sewn in. That's a job for later

when sitting in front of the telly.

Next will be my Gardeners Journal.

Happy Quilting!

 My Good friend Linda from Balranald came to visit

the other day to drop of her beautiful quilt for me to quilt.

 As you can see mine does not have borders on yet as I am waiting 

for fabric.

 I so enjoyed the Stitch A Long in Blogland it certainly

encouraged me to keep going as I know I would of

lost interest and it would get buried in the bottom of cupboard.

Although I am a little behind I really appreciated the cheers

and encouragement from the other girls, it really kept me going.

Thanks Guys!

A Gardeners Journal - Block B

Block B complete...yeah!!

I'm on a roll

I have decided to Raw Edge Applique my Hearts

and I will do that when I have it on Milly (longarm machine)

Chooky asked me how am I going to quilt this and I haven't quite decided

exactly what to do but maybe some feathers meandering and some line dancing.

I'm sure it will come to me when its on the frame.

Bits and Pieces

Well its been so long since I last blogged, life has been busy and unfortunately there hasn't been much time for quilting. I think I have over committed myself with different projects but hey!! I'm having fun so who cares right!

My 7th and 8th Block in the Jelly Roll Quilt-a-Long

This one is quite bright, I can't wait to see this quilt put together.

My house stitchery is completed finally, this one was a biggen, now onto

the next two to complete the block.

Promise it won't be so long until the next post.

Happy Quilting!!

I might add, which is amazing for me as I'm always behind, lets hope

it stays that way.

Happy Quilting!!

Stitch-a-long

I have complete my stitchery's for Block A, now to cut all

the fabric for this block. So far I'm ahead but not sure if that will stay that way.

Happy Stitching!!

Mandy

Block G Finished

 

Block G is finished....Yay!!...

Not quite on time as I had a little glitch, you see my fabric that I have chosen has

writing on it and some pieces were upside down, thanks to hubbies eagle eyes and attention to detail,

this was quickly rectified and taa daa!! its done. So glad this was picked up on the first block and not the tenth, as there would have been one unhappy little quilter.

So now its onto the next block.

Happy Stitching!!
