| IT NEEDS FINISHING!!!! |
I got quite a surprise this week to find that I had pieced all the stars for my Charming Stars quilt. The fabric, etc, has sat in a drawer beside my machine and has been an easy one to just pull out and piece when I've had a spare moment.... I won't get them joined for a while but couldn't resist laying them out on the floor this morning for a photo. It was hard to find the floor space to lie it out and then hard to take the photo - I couldn't get high enough off the ground to get it all in! (It's 5 rows of 6 stars, the blocks will finish at about 13 ½").

I've done a little quilting on my Calendar Bears and am happy with how it's going - mostly; there's (just) a little unpicking to do as I've changed my mind about the quilting on the border :-(
There's great excitement in my world today as TOMORROW my girls and I are popping over to Australia to visit our babies for the weekend ... they are 6 months old now ... we cant wait ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I'm sure there will be a baby laden post next week!
Until then,
happy days,
I love your starquilts and the pattern you chose for the bears.
ReplyDeleteHave a Nice trip to Australia, I'm looping forward to read about the two little girls and see photo's of them!
Enjoy, Cisca

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts--always nice to have a project finished! Safe travels
ReplyDeleteYou did three versions of that SAL? Wow, I didn't remember that. I used to be infected with that disease. *LOL*
ReplyDeleteThis version is sure cute--for some reason it makes me think of a picnic.
I love charming stars. I hope to make it someday. Yours looks very warm and cozy.
Happy time for you to get to go love those babies!! I look forward to that photo laden post to come!
Looks wonderful and have a great trip

Love what you are doing and getting those tops finished great work Raewyn.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time visiting those babies.....enjoy and look forward to catching up when you get back xxxxx
Love your 'charming stars' quilt... cosy & vintage-y! It's been on my to-do list for ages! Have fun with the babies, look forward to lots of photos!
ReplyDeleteI love those Charming Stars! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful visit with those little girls. How can they be six months old already????
Ooooh, seeing the babies!!!! I'm excited for you! I'd like to pop over to Australia myself, but it takes a lot more popping from here. ;) I love your stars laid out, and the mirror shot is a really good view. That's going to be a wonderful quilt, but photographing it will remain a problem. LOL Now your itty bitty quilt. That is amazing. I see a lot of people make tiny things, but they aren't as precise as a large block. I don't see that in yours, and just love that one. Great thing to finish for February!
ReplyDeleteLove your stars quilt and the reflection in the mirror. I keep thinking I'd like to make me one, but never seem to get around to it. You are making progress! How fun to spend some time with your babies. Hope you have a wonderful time. Nola
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt. Good luck with finishing it.
ReplyDeletelovely quilts you are working on.... safe travels...
