When I say "Aunt" of course I really mean "The Aunt's Quilt". I've finished the top a while ago and I had it hand quilted in the Philippines through a quilt shop in Singapore. As always the quilting is exquisite, something I would never have the patience nor the inclination for.
Another quilt top which has been laying around has finally been quilted as well. I've free motion quilted it and my new machine has delivered on its promises. I have not one broken thread nor any skipped stitches to report. In short, it sews like a dream. Hurrah!
Then there's this little baby quilt I made for a new baby girl. I forgot to take pictures before sending it off to Australia and only have this wonky phone photo. Once again I found the idea on Pinterest.
I also managed to finish block 3 and 4 for my Scandinavian Christmas quilt. I'm now in the process of making the small blocks to go around although I'm not sure yet how I'm going to put the quilt together.
Recently my husband's cousin celebrated a big birthday and her wish is to go whale watching, so I made her this card
and I also tried my hand on making a small fabric landscape for another birthday card. It needs a bit more work, some more embroidery I think.
Then there's a tiny bit more progress on the "Ballet avec Kaffe" project. Still not sure if I want to preserver, although I've started a new way of sewing the pieces together and I think I like it much better. The stitches are less visible and it feels more comfortable doing it too. You can find a short demonstration about the process here.
I made a tote bag for a friend
and another friend gave me this little beauty. Thanks Kerry, it's been very useful on our many road trips this summer.
