A finished quilt



After 10 years this quilt has at last been completed. It has sat as a top waiting patiently for me to finish. I'm so pleased to have 1 less thing to finish.

The Christmas cones are for friends overseas along with the pincushion & thread catcher. Still have 2 of those to make. Also have made 2 more doorstop bags. Have been very busy as well sewing knitted lace together for my SIL. As a thankyou i have received some of it & it's very beautiful. Will take photo's when it's washed & blocked. I asked her would she kindly crochet me some edging to put on the giant pincushion as well a small doily for the top & she is doing so. Aren't i lucky. Now to buy fabrics. :) The flowers are blood lillies. I didn't think i'd ever get them to bloom again. Have been surfing the net & discovered some wonderful bag patterns that i just have to have. More for my "one day" list. 2 of them are deceptive though. They may look like bags but really they hold your needles, pins & scissors. Very cute.

Wow Jeanette, the quilt looks fabulous!!! Did you quilt it yourself?
Could the giant pincushion you're talking about be the "Always Stitching" one?? I have that pattern too!!! Hey, we should do it at the same time :o)!!

Beautiful quilt jeanette, I bet you are so happy it is done.

More flowers

 This weeks blocks for the scrappy sew along are pieced flowers. The leaf part nearly went to the naughty corner before a light bulb moment ...
