In the Pink - finished!

Just before the lawn-mowing service arrived this morning, I took the opportunity and shot a few pictures in the morning sun (and in my jammies).

In the Pink was done in time for the Spring-to-Finish at the end of May. It was inspired by Elisa's Emergency Quilt. And I think I will make another quilt with frayed edges.

Finished and photographed: Caroline's Objects

The weather was lovely today so I interrupted work for a moment to snap photos.


I am a bit ambivalent about this quilt, probably because I worry how it will be received. This is one of my main "faults": I invest a lot of time and thought and love into a piece and find it hard to (1) let it go and (2) present it believing that the recipient will like it.

At the end, mercifully, they at least all act like they do!

Hubby says this is his favourite, is the recipient worthy? Well, if she does not like it, I can always ask for it back and give it to him, can't I? After all, they both share a shoe fetish!

Another Finish

Last night but still before Midnight:

I will post better pictures of both my recent finishes as soon as the sun comes out (at this rate, that'll be never! The weather has been dreadful here.)

One down, one to go!

This one's ready to go to the wash and then it will be finished tomorrow night!

The Race is on!

Will she or won't she finish another two quilts before the end of May 31, 2010?



Earmarked for completion are:

Both only need loose ends tying up.

Finished: Computer Music Quilt

My first finish of the year - mind you, I have about six projects on the go right now and of those three are about 10% away from completion.

This particular one was a thank you gift to my cousin and his wife on the occasion of their fiftieth birthday and silver wedding anniversary. She's a professor of music and he's a card carrying computer geek.

I'm pleased with the outcome, especially considering the time frame available to me, about two weeks for the actual making.

Spoonflower printed the fabric on the back and their first shipment when AWOL, the second got stuck in customs for days. Oh my ... but all's well that ends well! And I finished my oeuvre the day of the party.

Spring to finish 2010

I saw this going around last year and with a few tight deadlines, this is as good a time as any to join:

a patched picture ... sounds very vague and that's how far I have gotten with it.
