I was quilting two quilts the first made from some hand-dyed fabric which I won in a giveaway from Mary Anne at Magpie's Mumblings and which I thought would be the perfect fabric for a sunflower sampler.
I am really pleased with this little quilt now it is finished. At first I thought it was going to be too cramped as the fabric was smaller than Lori had recommended for the quilt but, I adjusted the sizes a little and it has worked out very well. I even managed to quilt my name in the corner!
The second was using a piece of solid yellow fabric (sorry the photographs aren't brilliant, the Winter light isn't easy to take photos in!) As you can see, this is a little larger and it was a lot of fun trying out some different threads.
I am very happy with them both.
Ganz großer Applaus. Das hast du toll gequiltet!

And Sew you should be! They both came out beautiful. I use Lori's designs for practice, too. I stitched her sailboat sampler and it came out so cute, I did it twice, like you. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Christine!

ReplyDeleteOh wow! I'm so thrilled with what you did with the rusty fabric. So perfect for a sunflower!!
