Christmassy Nine Patch in progress

This one has been going on forever and a day. I only ever worked on it on retreat so no surprise it never got finished. "All that's still needed" is the backing and that proves a bit of a struggle ...

Getting back on track ...

now that I've been ill for a week (have not been ill for a week for as long as I can remember, seriously) and to demostrate my getting-back-on-track-ness, I am posting photos:


Ta dah: my first ever quilt:




And the pile of fabric for my next project:




Now I'm planning on introducing progress bars à l'Anna knits. We shall see when I'm getting that accomplished.

It's finished!

Yay, late THU night I finished my first all hand-made quilt. I will post a picture as soon as I can download the software needed for this (my usual laptop being sweeped for a virus so maybe I should stop the downloading but anyway ...).

It is a table cloth made entirely of Makower cotton fabrics, hand pieced over paper using 100% cotton Gütermann yarn and then hand-quilted using 100% cotton Gütermann quilting yarn. I am mighty pleased with myself and so is hubby.
