Quilty Quarters Production

I finished the binding on this wall hanging and added some more quilting in the applique parts. I think I used the stronger steam-a-seam by accident so the flowers are very firm... good job it is not for cuddling up to eh....



The ladies in my groups struggle with carrying their supplies so I have been 'inventing' a bag to carry the cutting mat, 24" ruler and NOTHING ELSE. The mats need to be looked after as they can warp and the ruler corners are easy to 'bash', so I have made the padded/quilted pocket, with scraps, of course. The ladies can learn 'free motion quilting', walking foot quilting (not stitch in the ditch) and 'quilt as you go' along with a few other tricks....It's very tempting to put fabrics and other supplies in the same bag so I have made the pattern exactly to fit so there's no room for over loading. I promised this bag to Messy Maureen already.






I made a sandwich with this Rail Fence baby quilt then I stopped playing in my Quilty Quarters, you know... to do all the things I should have been doing during the day.... but , but, but, I was soooooooo in the mood to do a little more stitching...




so I returned.... he he he, 5 hours later, when it had gone dark and my tummy was growling at me for sustenance, my throat was wondering where all the cups of tea were.... and Molly was rolling round on my feet to go out for a walk.....








I finished it... I covered it with very liberated daisies, this is the backing fabric... you see... what other design could I do, yes, it is another Brazilian fabric... I still have loads more in my stash too. Can you guess what I will be doing for the rest of today?... chores, double chores in fact!
