I got stuck into my sewing and have started a new quilt. I fell in love with this quilt the minute I saw it. Its a Thimbleberries design and called A Quilters Garden Quilt. I love it!!
This picture is from the book.......I am doing mine in very similar colours and so far I have done 3 blocks. This is the first one..and I will show you the others when I take a photo of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The quality of the photo isnt the best....
I am very pleased with how the quilt has turned out and the quilting that Nat did is just lovely. I will take a close up of that today and show you all next time I post in here.
Well thats it for me today.....oH!.....its Treasure Tuesday today....
Nearly forgot....here is a picture of my most favourite framed tapestry that my Mum did for me.
I love it and love the colours in it and it hangs in my bedroom and I will treasure it forever. If you want to join in on Treasure Tuesday go on over to Clare's blog and join in.
Hugs to all.............Vicki and thanks everyone for being there for me :)
Oh I love your new project, is it foundation pieced.
ReplyDeletePlease put a closeup of your Dresdan Plate quilt as we need to have a better sticky beak and you tapestry is gorgeous, you are very lucky to have a treasure like that
wow...I too love that block, it looks hard.
ReplyDeleteThat Dresdan plate is awesome, I know it feels so good to have it done.
The new Thimbleberries design you are working on is a good one. I find that the designer's directions are always good and easy to understand. And I like almost every one of her designs. You fabric choices are going to make a fine quilt.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be a day or two or three late here for some reason!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am heavy "hearted" tonight for you as I missed both your son and your Mom's posts--how heavy your heart must be---and no words can help much--sometimes I am not sure even 'time" can help us--but know that you are in my heart and thoughts and that I do feel your loss, too.
happy stitching--
Hugs,, Di
I'm glad you had so much support on such a hard day, Vicki. A burden shared is easier to bear.
