Well it is now April 2022. we are all vaccinated and avoiding covid. I did an on line freemotion quilting class last year. Here is the  wall hanging I made after it. My quilting has improved.

This was quilted on my domestic Janome 8900.

The quilt is a record of the different motifs I learnt on the course. All quilted on my domestic machine.

I have to thank Holly Ann Knight of  String

April 2021

Nearly a year and a half since I have posted. Covid been and hopefully we will be vacinated soon and life my return to something normal. Must say us in New Zealand have had it somewhat more normal than a lot of countries.  

Code of compliance

Friday was a big day. The inspector came from the council and passed the building of our house. We have been moved in for about 6 weeks.


Now I maybe able to do some more quilting done. I have made a few in the 3 years. Back in 2016 I started The Splendid Sampler quilt I finished it in 2018. The New York beauty quilt I blogged about earlier was also finished in 2018 in time for my quilting groups bi annual quilt show.

I also made this quilt that was sent to a niece in Perth Australia.

2020

Well it is nearly 3 years since I have posted. I think I will try and post again now that the 3 year project we have been doing is nearly finished. The last 3 years have been spent building a house.

Some photos of the progress..

New York Beauty

I have been doing a class with Juliet Fitness on the New York Beauty Block. Juliet is a fun teacher and with her help and handy hints has make this block seem easlier than it looks. This is my blocks very colourful. I have enjoyed doing these blocks. I am not sure if this is it or I will add some more block.

It is a wet day here so 

looks like a good day for catching up on some of the blocks for the Splendid Sampler as I am way behind.

Crumb block UFO Finish

Well it is finished. I think I started making these blocks back in 2010. I blogged about them back in 2011 Crumb blocks . Not knowing how to set these blocks. I found that I had to sash them as there was too much fabric to stitch without the sashing. I freemotion quilted on my Janome 8900 memorycraft machine. I haven't named it yet and I think I will leave it draped on a chair for the moment.

Jack & Jill Quilt

Thanks Amy for organising  Blogger Quilt festival here. I love looking at everyones wonderful quilts so many ideas to inspire more quilts.
Today I am showing a quilt inspired by some 1980's material I found it my husband's Aunties fabric stash. The quilt I will gift to a new great niece. Who has been named after the Aunt.

It is a cot size. 40" X 30". I quilted it on my Janome Memorycraft 8900. Even tried some of the quilting stitches.

Thanks everyone for looking enjoy!!!
