It's still summer-like in Auckland, so it has been washed and dried today. Looking at the long-range forecast - the rain is due to start on Thursday. Just in time for the school hols. Perfect!

I am taking a pile of unfinished quilts to Carol in Onehunga tomorrow after school to be quilted. I do love handquilting, but some of these have been works in progress since May 2011 and it would take me a couple of years to get them finished! (And I don't really even like the top one anymore so I don't want to spend ages finishing it.)
I can't bring myself to send my oldest WIP in for quilting. My stitchery quilt I finished in 2010. Maybe I will quilt it when I finish my Circle Game quilt, although I am planning to make Kim McLean's Lollypop Trees my next big project.
In the hols I am keen to try an equilateral triangle quilt like this one Linda is working on, as well as making progress with the Circle Game. A puffy 'April' block is bugging me. I have some unpicking to do I think.
Gorgeous Karyn! I am sure he is going to love it. and whoohoo for you getting those quilts off! The stitched one looks like it's a beauty. I am currently working on an equilateral triangle quilt! And I am loving it! Happy last week of school!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday! Lots to be quilted then. Would love to see more of your stitchery quilt! Linda
ReplyDeleteThe fox quilt looks great. Sure a little boy will love it. I took my first quilt to Carol a fews weeks ago and it was a decidedly lovely feeling to collect it - all done. I do love the quilting process but have decided you do need to be practical, so glad you feel the same. Would love to see more of the stitched one.
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a backlog of tops that need quilting too - maybe I'll give Carol a few weeks to get through yours first! Love Mr Fox, great job on the quilting.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fox! The binding and backing fabrics are lovely too! Good idea to send the quilts out :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Karyn. Good plan on the quilting as well!
