I have created this blog to share my 'doings' with others. Now that I am retired I am able to do all the things I never had the time for. I hope you enjoy my endeavours.

Gwen's Quilt
Christopher & Jamie finished Gwen's bedroom & she was able to sleep in her own room. Jamie had picked the theme Owls for her room, so I was finally able to make a baby quilt for her.
The quilt finished at about 45" x 54".
I also made a pillow to match the quilt.
It is 14" square.
I had wanted to try making & putting on piping & inserting a zipper for easier removal to wash the quilt.
Hearts & Stars Quilt
Finished this Hearts & Stars quilt in January. It was a Craftsy course by Anne Petersen called Continuous Line Quilting. I had gotten the course and material in 2014 and finally got around to getting it done.
The materials was Kaffe Fassett Shot Cotton - different and I used various variegated threads on the front to complete the free motion quilting and just one variegated thread on the back.
It finished at 40" x 45".

Candle Mat Swap
Quilting Group had another quilting swap this past quarter - this time it was a Friendship Candle Mat Swap. Michele Foster provided the group with two designs & we were to choose one and send it. I also made two coffee mats & two wine coaster to match - I had also included some candles & Canadian souvenirs. (I had forgotten to take a picture of the back this time…)
Angela Torlop, from Tasmania, Australia was my swap partner & this is the mat & goodies she sent.
