Nautical theme

Hooray, I found a new file that hasn't been published.  This quilt has  a Nautical theme.
There is still more material left, so I will make another one when I catch up.

Well, Easter has past  and the days are getting colder, but still so little rain.  My sewing room has a camelia tree and a big monstera  outside the window so the room is quite dark.

I have put my big quilt aside and have been making cot quilts, completing two and there are  some blocks ready for a third one.  There doesn't seem to be much impression on my stash though.  When I visited the  Craft show earlier this month I bought a few fat quarters for childrens' quilts and some more rotary blades.

UFOs

I have not had any visitors to my Blog for years, at least no-one left a message.
Seems a little lonely. Where  are all my followers?
UFOs
The list at the bottom of the page was compiled years ago.  Sadly none of these projects have been completed.

I have realised how  projects become UFOs.  I am always looking for new projects to start on. There are mountains of magazines that are regularly read and reread, looking for a unique pattern.  I call this reading research, so I don't get guilty about using all that time for reading and not sewing..  Most of the patterns are altered because of my stash and the size of project  that has been decided on. Often there are at least  three quilt tops at various stages of completion.
Three or four years ago I joined an association that donates quilts of all sizes to various charities. I donate some of my magazines as often as I can.  And sometimes take as many as three quilt tops per month to be quilted by those clever ladies who can quilt.

Nautical row quilt

I made this quilt with a forum I used to belong to. Each member did a different row.  It was my favorite.  It was on the bed in the spare bedroom.  But it has disappeared.  Possibly went home with one of our international students.  We have searched the house many times but have not found it.

Eye-spy with a difference

This  is a quilt I made for our grandson, I'm making another one.  The centres of each triangle are pictures of things that children like.   It's a bit fiddly though.

SCOOTERS, CARS AND A TRACTOR.

Just what little boys like

Hearts for a little girl

I hand-appliqued these hearts and teddy bear, work for watching TV or DVDs.
