The Wedding Quilt.

Hooray! Finally I can show you the Wedding quilt.

The happy couple love it and I also made a journal for them which tells them the progress of the quilt as I made it. They loved that too.

There is 72 leaves all up that I hand sewed on and 16 flowers and 17 flower buds. Lots of hand sewing and the Lone Star part was fun to do as it had to be all precise and exact. My son Nick wanted red in it and his wife Tara, wanted purple which is her favourite colour.

This is one of the triangles quilted pattern that Natalie did on her quilting machine.

I am very happy that Nick and Tara love it and it was such a thrill to give it to them. It looks fabulous on their bed too.

Thanks heaps to you all for your lovely comments on the previous posts….I just haven’t got to replying to you all but know I have read them all and will get to replying very soon.

Hugs to all……..Vicki 

Finally ….. A Journal Cover made.

I have joined in on Judith’s 'EARLY BIRD CHRISTMAS CRAFTING'

and she suggested we organise ourselves and get a journal and put in names of who we plan to make Christmas gifts for. Well….I was rather busy sewing a Wedding quilt for my son and his fiance for their wedding and just didnt get around to making a nice journal cover.

Ummm…..I was going to use this lovely one that Barb sent to me…

I love it but felt it had to be made by me.

So I finally got myself organised and made this one for my Christmas gifts list.

I was given some Caring Heart squares from the Craft Forum and decided to use this one for the cover. I love it :)

So now I got to do some writing and put some names in there.

Judith suggested getting a big box or basket to store all the things that we make in and I have got a cardboard box from something ages ago and have actually got it for this purpose. You see I started doing things earlier and then come to a standstill due to other things having to be made etc.

So now I am doing some lovely stitchery's and these will be the centres for these lovely doily's

that Dawn made and had for free from the Among the Gum Trees blog with the Mother’s Day specials.

Sooooo I am getting there and its not even half way thru June :) It’s looking good for me to have some finishes for June :)

Hugs to all………Vicki
