My dream for this quilt has always been to make it really, really long, but I may run out of fabric by then. Or sanity. Also our walls are only 2.4 metres tall so that could actually be my saviour.
I've managed to do a teeny bit of HST sewing when I can sit at the machine comfortably. Unfortunately for this quilt, and my desire to see it in a finished state, the comfortable thing doesn't happen too often.
Soon my precious. Soon.
And here's a little something that isn't even really at WIP stage. I am showing the modern quilting group how to sew the Cheyenne block this week, but on the weekend my friend and I decided to sew this all together into a much bigger quilt for a friend's birthday coming up in a couple of months. So I put some more squares and HSTs on the design wall to see the effect we would get. We both love it. Hope our friend does too!

Now I'm off to the swimming pool for some physical therapy. Hopefully when I get back I'll be up for some sewing mischief, so there might be more to show you next week.
Oh I love those clam shells! And your friend is going to be delighted with that quilt, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm rather in love with my clams. And I hope she will like it! I made her a quilt for her 50th, but this is her 60th and this will be two people making it! Should be double awesome!
DeleteGorgeous work... love the colours you have put together. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove your clams....beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love them too (perhaps a little too much!)
DeleteI like the second one for the design. Looks like something I could sure do with all of the scraps that I have.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of my quilting year is going to have to be about scrappy quilts I think! I want to renew my stash a little ... but I have too much at the moment (although what IS too much?! ;))
Deletethe clam quilts evokes a city skyline - it's gorgeous
ReplyDeleteYes that's how it has turned out hasn't it! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it. And it's why I added the green "parks" in the midst.
DeleteI love your clam shells soooooo much! I can't wait to see how that evolves.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you left IG, I loved all your quilting posts especially.
Cat :)
Thanks Cat! Yeah the IG things was a bit sudden, but I had been thinking of it for a while. I'm a lot happier now, and feel so much more creative (because I have the time to create!) Thanks for stopping by! We'll just have to keep in touch via the blogs ;)
Deletehello chica, hope the aqua pt worked. Clams and cheese are the bomb.
ReplyDeleteHola Trash - the aqua PT was working quite well until I got a head cold. Back to it again tomorrow I hope.
DeletePersonally I'm more of a prawns and cheese kinda gal ;)
Wow - so much going on...
ReplyDeleteNo IG = more time to create!
