Stuff I Made

I sewed over the weekend. And when I say that I mean I actually focused, got on with it, avoided distraction and sewed. And sewed. And sewed some more. So much easier to do when everyone is doing the same.

I turned my two piles of cut Lecien Ls Modern Basics into two quilt tops. All the charms I cut were turned into this.


Then the other pile of fabric became this.


I am going to finish these quilts (eventually) and they will donated to Siblings Together. I have given to this charity for the past few years and would like to continue to do so. I really like the thought of these two quilts going to sisters (or brothers, or a brother and sister) who are in care but unable to live together. And I like that when I have lots of fabric leftover from a commission that I can put that fabric to good use.

Those two quilt tops took up almost the entirety of my weekend sewing time. All I managed to squeeze in otherwise was a Brit Bee quilt block for Jude that measures up at 15" x 30". I was glad that I managed to make a feather the right size in this bee what with the nightmare I had last time I tried. Though Di bringing me templates would have more than a lot to do with me getting it right this time.


I wonder when I will be able to accomplish that much that quickly again?

  2. beautiful quilts Susan, and using left over fabric is a bonus.
    Do you use a die cutter or rotary cutter? I'm contemplating buying a cutter due to arthritis in my shoulder and wondered what, if any, others use. I did read a good review by The Bitchy Quilter.

  5. Your two quilt tops are really lovely. What a good idea to make a similar pair for donating to siblings together. They will be great for two siblings to have - each time they snuggle up under them they can think about their other half snuggling under the matching quilt.

  11. Kitchen accessories make life convenient and leave their mark on the taste and quality of the cooked and served food. A kitchen is like a work place that requires right tools in the form of utility appliances and cooking and serving items. Besides, decoration accessories are needed to add to the kitchen's value as an important part of the house. .
