Day spent unpicking..

Yesterday was Wednesday Club, and as you know, we hold it at Quilters Haven, Lots of boxes were being unpacked and wow, there were lots of lovely new fabrics. I just might be tempted.

However, it was one of those days when every one  in our quilting group seemed to be unpicking / frogging their work. This was Sandra doing just that, on another quilt for one of her grandsons.


 Alison and I were trying to put the Linus quilt together. Everyone had made a star block from their scraps from our Friendship quilts.( last year post December 13th 2012.) 

After much cussing and frogging, here is the said quilt. Just the binding to be sewn down now, the favourite part for me in making a quilt, so I shall sit in the garden this afternoon and stitch the binding down.
Quilt for Linus.

Alison T was making a Dandy Bag from a pattern sometime back, blog post "One of those weeks"
last March, and pointed out to me that you had to make two panels, (Front & Back) which I did not make clear in the instructions. Sorry if any one is making that little bag.. it would have been a very small bag indeed if you only made one panel..

Ann was doing wonderful things with little cars and scooters she was going to appliqué on to the borders of a quilt.

I had taken in the top of the baby quilt as I was not happy with the left hand side, where the blocks have no side pieces. I am still not sure what to do with it. The best suggestion was to cut off  the complete row of blocks down the left hand side. I will have to think about that one, so watch this space.








Keep safe and keep stitching.....Doti...

  1. I think a matching line of pieces down the left would balance it....like another row was starting.... If you get my drift...!
