PIF: on its way to California

Yay, after much to-ing and fro-ing I managed to get one PIF on the road to California. For the other one, I'm still awaiting a postal address and then that shall be on its way too ...

Phew!

Since September, the list of upcoming projects has changed to:
  • Coasters - working on it

  • Potholders - on my mind

  • long-term project: my first and only sampler quilt

  • Night on the Tiles


  • Done:
  • PIF

  • Stashbuster Quilt for my God-Daughter, well, sort of: used the fabric and finished the quilt

  • 2 quilts in a day for new babies


  • Edited to add: PIF No. 2 is also on its way, also to California.

    Assembly line-style coasters



    In September, I stumbled across these lovely panels at my favourite German quilt shop, Patchcom and just had to have them. Thankfully, they went really well with fabric I had bought there the previous year but never got around to using.

    So I figured I'd make quickie coasters by sandwiching sections of the panel, machine quilting a detail or two, cutting them into two strips of four sections each, attaching long rows of binding, cutting each strip into four sections and attaching the rest of the binding. Now I'm hand-finishing the individual coasters before spraying them with fabric protector.

    There will be eight.
    Then it's onto the potholders.
