It's been months since I updated this, but I have been happily sewing all manner of items. Technology has got the better of me, and we lost camera equipment on our lovely holiday in August, so I haven't posted photographs of any projects I've completed for a while. Also the replacement universal USB cord doesn't seem to like our camera at the moment.
Currently, I'm making a baby quilt for my nephew and his wife for their first baby who is due in a few months time - really delighted about this new arrival.. Also working on a wedding quilt in blues and beige/gold for my niece and her husband-to-be for next year - another very special family event.
I've just completed a Christmas star wall-hanging [cream, gold on cream, red, blue] which was started several years ago as a Round Robin project in one of my quilting groups - very happy with the finished result, now I've changed the outer border - and it's hanging in the lounge for the festive season.
Other finished items include 2 very colourful strip quilts sent to Africa for babies with AIDS; Christmas bells stained glass wall-hanging [started in 2007?]; quilt using assorted Kaffe Fassett rectangles with sage green cornerstones and binding; X' s and o's baby quilt given to local Hospital.
Also still on the go this year are 3 completed tops awaiting quilting professionally, as they are to be donated to a special charity for fundraising for burns survivors - have to get the cash together for that, as my machine quilting is not good enough for a raffle quilt.
I have so many projects in mind, I shall never be bored, thankfully. I need more energy to complete everything I want to achieve, but I enjoy creating with fabric, and each finished item I can give with love is progress.
