Projects 2019

January

My first finish in 2019 is a baby quilt I started for a friend's daughter at the end of 2018.  Her baby was born at the beginning of January and I am happy to have this finished in time to send her.

February

My second finish for 2019 is also a baby quilt.  This one was made for the daughter of another dear friend.  

March

My first finish in March is a little improv-pieced pillow.  Made using techniques from the book 'Artful Improv' by Cindy Grisdela.

My next finish is another pillow made in the same fabrics as the previous one.  It is not 'improv pieced' but it is a modern style.  It is one block from the pattern 'Modern Fans' by Suzy Quilts.

Next is a small wall hanging.  The pattern for this is called 'Honey Bunny' and had been in a folder waiting for me to make it since 2009!!  The pattern is by Kellie Wulfsohn then of Don't Look Now but probably better known now for her shop Cutting Cloth.

April

My only finish in April was another small wall quilt inspired by the techniques found in 'Artful Improv' by Cindy Grisdela.

May

My first finish in May is a table topper made for my eldest daughter.  The appliqué is raw edge appliqué and the quilt is free motion quilted.

Another gift is my second finish for the month.  This time a small landscape which I have framed.

June

My first finish in June is a quilt from the book 'Nautical Quilts' by the Australian designer Lynette Anderson. The quilt itself is called 'All Aboard Quilt'.  All the fabrics I used were designed by Lynette apart from some of the cream background which came from my stash and I am unsure of who the designers are.

July

July was a very busy month of travelling to special occasions as well as illness in the family, so no finished projects to show this month.

August

My only finish in August was a small embroidery.  I used a pre-printed panel which was design by Anne Brooke of H-anne-Made.

September

My first finish for September is a small 'seascape' which I designed and made myself.

I also attended a workshop given by Cathy of Dear Emma Designs at The Needle and Thread Workshop in Lincolnshire where I made a sweet little machine embroidered lantern.
