Quilts, Grandkids and Delphiniums: October 2010

http://nana-jan.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 6 October 2010. Only just large enough. Apart from the quilting (which I am finally very happy with except for the faces), the biggest success was the small dark blue interior border. I made that by folding a piece of 1cm wide blue ribbon in half and sewing it down with a double thread and wide zig zag stitches. It made a big difference to the overall design. I'm also pretty happy with the silver nutmeg and the golden pear. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Only just large enough.

Quilts, Grandkids and Delphiniums: Some Success

http://nana-jan.blogspot.com/2011/03/some-success.html

Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It was done for a challenge for our club quilt show. The Quilt Show was a couple of weekends ago and this quilt won first prize in the challenge to my genuine surprise. I thought the faces were a failure as, close-up, the close quilting makes the little girls look like old ladies with wrinkles. The middle option looked like snippets which is a simple technique so that's what I chose to do but I'd like to have a go at the first option sometime! I like the flowerquilt verry much.

Quilts, Grandkids and Delphiniums: Nursery Quilt Part 1 made

http://nana-jan.blogspot.com/2011/03/nursery-block-part-1-made.html

Wednesday, 30 March 2011. Nursery Quilt Part 1 made. So, the first part is completed. I know the cat is facing the wrong way but it didn't really matter and it saved getting my tracing box out. Oh, ok, it was a mistake - alright? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Mummy and Daddy ran away to Europe. Nursery Quilt Part 1 made. Nursery Quilt Part 1.

random stitches: April 2009

http://randomstitches-norma.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

My quilting, stitching, cooking and a few random thoughts. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Tuscan Sun Blocks 2 and 3. Here is number two, redone, and number three of the Tuscan Sun BOM. Is it growing on me? I am going to throw caution to the wind and do a block out of order to spice things up a bit! Let's see, should I do seven or eight next? Monday, April 27, 2009. Did I really want/buy this quilt? Did the colors redo themselves into something I don't recognize? I sure hope so because I have it, I paid quite...

Quilts, Grandkids and Delphiniums: December 2010

http://nana-jan.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Friday, 10 December 2010. I turned 60 a few days ago. We had a fabulous family weekend - and the family joined together to buy me a kindle. Here are a few pictures of me opening gifts. I'll blog more about the weekend later but I know Nadeeka is keen to see my reaction to the gift she was part of buying. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Quilts, Grandkids and Delphiniums: January 2010

http://nana-jan.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, 10 January 2010. Some more before and after pics of progress - which is slow because we have a guest living in the sewing room at the moment and I can only get in there when she is away tramping for a couple of days. Links to this post. Saturday, 2 January 2010. More on the Rooster. Back in March last year, before normal life was interupted, I started a new project. This may refresh your memory if you don't want to follow the links to my earlier posts:. I continued for a few. Links to this post.
