GARDEN OF FORGETFULNESS

I have just added another row to this quilt, the more I make the more I like the look.  I have also added some close up pictures.

GARDEN OF FORGETFULNESS

This is my New project from Willyne Hammerstein's number 2 book, there is at least 4 or more in there that I want to make.
I need more hours in the day.....
This one is called Garden of Forgetfulness, this is my first row only another 10-12 to go.





ELENOR JEAN PROGRESS

I have been interviewing colours and different materials for the fillers between the stars, I am happy with this.


ELENOR JEAN UPDATE

I have three points on my star and working on the next three. Quite happy so far with the look, but lots more to do next year.

LUCY BOSTON BORDER

I have had a couple of ladies asking how I made the border for Lucy Boston and I think a picture tells a thousand words, so I hope this makes it clear enough to see what I have done.

ELENOR JEAN

The beginning, I got both Elenor Jean and Dear Prudence books from Linda White and had a very hard time deciding which one to do, finally decided on Elenor.  So with the help of some friends at Somerset, the colours have sort of been chosen, with a few from my stash thrown in.


HEXAGON PROJECT BAG

This week I have been making a bag to put my Elenor Jean hexie pieces into as I work on this long term project.  Quite happy with how the bag has turned out.  Although if I make another one, I think I would do a couple of things different.

NEW ADDICTION

Just got a 3/8" hexagon template and papers to have a play on the weekend.  I think I am hooked.  Also purchased a book on Dear Prudence and Elenor Jean, this maybe my next long term project...:-)







LUCY BOSTON FINISHED PIECING

I am very happy how this quilt has turned out, especially the border.  I have to get some backing and then I will get it basted ready for me to hand quilt, big job, big quilt...:-)

LUCY BOSTON UPDATE

Getting very excited, just a few more blocks and Lucy will be finished.  I am hoping to get her machine basted so I can hand quilt it.  I love the outside border, I think it pulls all the colours together.

LA PASSACAGLIA

I have been working on the border of my La Pass quilt, I am wanting to piece the outside border.  Much happier cutting that instead of those precious points.
