After my post confessing my Crochet addiction, it seems quite a few have you have been up to crochet shenanigans too. Thank you for the encouraging tips. I am back to my patchwork now though, should I dabble in a new crochet project it will be tackled a bit at a time, in an evening and definitely not a whole entire, non-stop day!
Back in 2024, that sounds ages ago doesn't it.
Princess Jackie finished her wonderful festive quilt. She had started it originally to be gifted. As the project got larger and more adorable, she decided she might have to keep it. I think lots of us do that. All those hours spent bonding with the gorgeous fabrics. The sorting, choosing, cutting, sewing, trimming, a bit of unpicking too, a wonderful process. But I'm happy to say that Jackie did find the courage and the quilt was gifted.
This is the quilt back, Jackie's chosen style of using lots of smaller pieces of fabric. It makes for a double sided quilt and, I am told, it reduces the left over fabric stash, but that could be just a rumor. Toot toot toot Jackie, the fanfare is a bit late really, your quilt is absolutely fabulous and truly finished.
Gail's gifting quilt. Ever so cute. We tried lots of fabrics for the border but came back to this neutral one. The cunning plan was to add those little corner squares so that there was no need to have a join on any of the sides, a brilliant idea that looks like it was planned all along. That's it, the top is finished. The sandwich was made last week, I am a bit behind, ha!
Our Pam has thoroughly enjoyed making this Log Cabin quilt top. She had seen a photo of someones' finished quilt on social media and had fallen for it. This was back in August. Pam tried, in vane, to find the picture of the quilt again, to show to me as she wanted to make one. She had mostly remembered that it was green and cream Log Cabin blocks. I think Pam hit her very own brief, don't you? There's a green border to add. But Pam has already started three other baby quilts, so goodness knows when this top will be finished. (yes Our Pam, I am talking to you xx)
Here you go. This is one of Pam's 3 baby quilts. She's found it a bit frustrating making a baby quilt using neutral fabrics. She had wanted to make a brightly coloured, cute, applique one you see. Lots of people are asking for neutral tones in their baby quilts these days, seems it's a thing. This is quilt number 2, it is already a sandwich, pinned last week actually. The brief for Quilt number 3 is "as bright and girly as Pam chooses" Ooooh, yes! Pam was excited to get onto that one, and she has.
