a few finishes

I tidied up and got a few finishes done today so that I could start on sewing the down under doll quilt tomorrow - its been on the wall for at least a month so it will be good to get it finally sewn !!



I finished the two care at do.good stitches blocks - fabulous wonky churn dash blocks using fabric foundation.

 

I also sewed up the craftsy drunkard's path blocks - they're a bit uneven so I might have to look at them a bit closer when I put the quilt together but I'm pretty happy with the first time curves :)


 


and I finally sewed the binding on a little mini quilt that I made back in April for a blog hop - its the one that had the red dye issues so wasn't finished in time and I'm not sure why I've been so slow in getting it hand quilted and bound ! I hand quilted lines in the sashing with red variegated Perle 8.


I put little pocket hangers on this one which is a technique I saw on Amy's Stitchery Dickory Dock blog earlier this week so its already on the wall !


have a great weekend - we're lucky to have a long weekend this weekend and the weather is perfect for sewing - cold and raining !!

  2. Your blocks are lovely. I always love the zig zags and your hand stitching finishes that little quilt off so nicely.
