New starts.


Wrote a whole post and did not save it,  how many of us has done that and lost the whole piece?
New start, got these in 2019. Still waiting for number 1 and 4 which has been ordered.  Today number three will be started, as it has the same fabric as number one.  It is called Christmas Village, by the Tiny Modernist. 
 Saw the drums at Gitta's .
Jack Frost Tree Farm will be done as one piece. Unpicked the one block that was started last year. So all the blocks have their outlines stitched.
Finished the next row of the quilt a long.
Row number 5 and 1. They are not released in order. Next one will be coming out towards the end of January.  Using bright and happy fabrics.
Loaded the first quilt on the frame in almost 6 years, it is a whole cloth quilt top.  Started the quilting, it is a Queen size.
Instead of a chair, I sit on a ball to do the quilting. It is easier to move along the frame and do not damage the carpet.
Log cabin blocks are started.  This quilt top will be going to Australia. They have lost so much.
Backing fabric for 365 Quilt Challenge is washed and ironed.
The quilt top, it will be machine quilted.

  1. how interesting - I never thought to sit on a ball for quilting - I have seen them over the years of course for exercise - I would need one of the bigger ones as I have long legs!

  3. Beautiful projects. Love the Christmas Village cross-stitch. Was the whole cloth quilt stamped or did you mark all of it before setting it in the frame?
    Congratulations on finishing the 365. It is just wonderful. Mine is more blue/beige than yours. You can see it here

  4. Hi there, it was so great to meet you yesterday and chat about your life in Canada. I've loved browsing your blog ... well done! Cold weather certainly creates opportunities which the African weather doesn't. Happy creating! Denise
