Christmas Wall Hanging/tabletopper November 2022

 I made this wallhanging/table topper for the Mascot Senior Citizens Centre. In the Xmas box was the Xmas tree panel and some smaller scraps. I made a randomly put together "piano key" border from the scraps, put it on the panel, quilted it and the put the red binding on with Monica's help for the handsewing.

A picture of the whole quilt which consists of hourglass blocks (a favourite block of mine) made with pink scraps and white for highlighting the blocks

Closer-up of the fabrics, some of which are Valentine's Day fabrics

Beautiful hourglass shapes  alternating sideways and uprights.

 

Scrappy Quilt just because.......I really enjoy making something pretty out of my scrap box July/August 2022

Sorry go to the bottom of the photos and come back up one by one

Sew the squares alternately together and bingo! a pretty scrap quilt top. Haven't finished it yet

Make the squares with the white borders and sew the strips together for the multicoloured squares

Choose the colours

You start with your scrap basket

Nikolas's Quilt October 2022

Loretta's granddaughter had her second child earlier in the year. As usual I chose a scrap quilt pattern using lots of brightly coloured children's novelty fabrics highlighted with white. I also used a scrap binding -0ne of my favourite ways of doing binding.

Above is a close-up of some of the fabrics

The label was embroidered by both Loretta and me

Here's a glimpse of the backing which was a blue sheeting
 

Gracie's Quilt

 This wee baby quilt was made for Gracie in May. Gracie is the great granddaughter of an old friend who died some years ago and I like to keep in contact with her family.

This quilt has a scrappy binding made by stringing the scarpa leftover together.

The back of the quilt was in a stripey fabric. The label below was emroidered by hand as usual with me

Lastly, a close-up of the soft bright pastels used

My Wall Quilt

 May 2022

When I painted my living room blue in the second year of Covid (2021) The wall quilt I had up was in citrus colours and no longer matched my decor. This is the one I chose to do in different blues. Very simple pattern but effective. It's essentially a scrap quilt.

Two Pretty Dollies April 2022

 Gail and I started making these when I visited her in 2021. I took them home and finished them early this year. The aprons are a sandwich tray doiley cut in two. It's always fun making dollies.
