Happy Wednesday and happy April :o) To kick you off for the month, feel free to download this month’s calendar page.
On to the WIP part of the post, I was working on Saturday, as well as a couple of evenings last week so I wasn’t as productive as I’d hoped, but on the plus side, I got tomorrow off as compensation, so I have an extra long weekend. I did get some quilting done on my UK Mini Swap mini – I haven’t FMQ’ed in ages, in fact the last project I remember doing it on was on my gran’s birthday mini nearly 18 months ago! It was fun coming up with the pattern, but my forearms do not like the vibrations from the machine bed when I’m FMQ’ing, so I don’t think I’ll be embarking on using it for any king sized quilts… I also got a secret wee thing done with some Bonnie & Camille scraps, and made the lining for the easter basket for the calendar photo shoot above, so not entirely unproductive I suppose.
Finishes This Week:
Bunny basket lining for the calendar shoot above
Secret wee B&C thingy
In Progress This Week:
You may or may not recall from a few weeks ago that these 4 blocks were for my UK Mini Swap mini:
Now they’re sewn together, and this is the quilting I’ve done in all the circle and part circle bits. Clearly I’ve not buried the threads yet ;o):
I’m working on circles in the rings around the flower centres, and then the rings in the pattern are going to be done in a diagonal grid.
To Be Worked On This Week:
Finish the mini
Paint and partially tile the kitchen
Maybe start on my next Quilt Now project if the fabric arrives
Hope you all have a great week! Linking up with Lee and the gang:
I just love those bunnies and I am lost in admiration of your circle quilting – just lovely
I love the bears in their bunny ears – did you have to bribe them with chocolate?!
Gorgeous FMQ, I can't wait to see the finished mini!
Oh, I love love love your mini! It's fabulous – GREAT work!
I am admiring the circle FMQ as well – what a great work!
This is looking really good–nice job!
Thank you :o)
that is some really awesome quilting! very pretty.
Love that quilting! What a fun design!
The circle mini is wonderful and your color choices are terrific! Someone is going to be very lucky!
I love the quilting in that! It's going to be beautiful!
Thank you very much :o)
Those bears!! That basket lining is Adorable, and your mini is just breathtaking! Sit on your laurels for awhile, girl!!
This looks great, both the piecing and the quilting!
Oh my gosh, that quilting is fab!!! I hope work ASKED you about the evening & w/e work!! Still the day off is progress!!!!
Love the circle! Your rusty FMQ far outstrips mine in general!
Great job on that quilting!
Love the calendar…I was just thinking I needed to change my desktop page! Thanks so much!!
Happy Easter!
Love those wee ones. Where is Jack these days?
Happy Easter.
I hope those bears weren't coerced. I think that several creme eggs were involved and then they were anybody's. Then wham, bam, bunny ears. Oh the shame of it. How will they be able to hold their little heads up in bear society. But then, with Edwood and Woodwood they can't anyway.
I love your circular quilt. It's quite similar to the Amish quilt in Lancaster Town Hall that I told you about. For your US readers, Lancaster, Lancashire is twinned with Lancaster PA.
Great quilting and the calendar photo is adorable!
