Community Quilt

I've been doing the row by row quilt, a row each month so I can't show you that. I have made a quilt for a little 6 year old (well just the top for now I have until October to finish it). This is a community quilt. My quilting club that I belong to makes community quilts every 2 years so here is a photo of my contribution. 

Bias Binding

I have been making 1 1\4" bias binding for my eyemasks. This takes a while but once it is done it lasts a couple of years. Made from a metre of material I suppose I get about 40 mtrs of binding. This is the website for the instructions for continuous bias binding.

Above is a photo with the cutting lines. And a view of how to iron the folds using pins.

The Lounge

The lounge with carpet down and some couches to sit on. this photo was taken in the afternoon you can see how much sun is streaming in from the conservatory. Looking good.

Well the carpet is down no photos yet. We are almost finished the house. The photo is of the shower tiles in progress they are all finished now and we can have a shower!!!!

No quilting to show as I am doing a row by row challenge at my quilting club. No showing until all 6 rows are done. A new challenge for me.

Conservatory new furniture

Here is the conservatory all finished. 

Were has the month gone. I have finished Henry's quilt labeled and a hanging sleeve on it too : ). I gave it to him last week. So it can go on the wall. The last time I saw it his baby sister was using it for a blanket for her doll. Hey at least it is being loved and used.
