This year has been a very bitty one for me, so this post covers the last four months of occasional forays into the sewing room. I have completed some projects so I'm very happy about that.
Back in July, during a short time at home, I finished off Amelie's quilt. Amelie is the granddaughter of a good friend. Mainly fabrics from a fat quarter pack I've had for a few years, as well as some from my stash. The back was made from stash fabrics also. Simple walking foot quilting - I was on a (self-imposed) deadline for this one. Finished size: 52" x 77" (132cm x 195cm)
Some time ago, a friend asked me to make her a table topper, from a pattern in American Patchwork & Quilting (Oct 2009 issue.) I think she saw the picture on Pinterest or similar. Called the Stepping Stone Quilt, it is sewn from some of my many batiks. I had fun with the pattern. No binding strips, just a knife-edge binding which I hadn't done for years. And I didn't stuff it up!
Finished size: 33.5" (85 cm) x 25" (63.5 cm)
I've been working on a few other projects, although none are finished yet. Here's a few snippets.
In October, we were in Canada where I visited two patchwork shops on Price Edward Island and supported their economy. I bought a few Canada-themed fabrics, as well as some Anne of Green Gables fabric. It added up to 6.5 m. I haven't acquired any other fabrics since July.
