Like buses as it is nearly the end of the year

Three dog quilts (using Aldi fabric) and an ugly squares one.  

I can't remember

 I think this is a Bonnie Hunter pattern, but I can't remember.....  very colourful.  

 

I won a prize!!!!  The snowflake quilt I sent to Ani's Linus exhibition.....

more finishes

Three more finishes - the first is a scrappy one just for general use, the next one is for Linus and is made from Aldi fat quarters featuring Tinkerbell and the third one is plain fabric and African fabric.

Stuff going out (mostly)

The top two are going to a Linus exhibition Ani is organising - the sheep one I designed and have called it "Baa Humbug".... Ani never said it was a C word exhibition until after I said I would send a quilt.  The second one is a top I had already made that fitted the bill - I like snowflakes.

The next one is a jelly roll quilt.  I made the top on a Devon quilt retreat (how long ago?!!)  but I used scraps rather than a jelly roll.   It is going in the Lutterworth exhibition.

The star one is this year's New Year's Day mystery from Longarm University.  I finished it at the beginning of the year but have only just finished the binding. 

 

 One that has gone to Linus - but it was a good user of scraps.

 A peg bag from Star Wars fabric for the two sons of our neighbours who are buying their first house.

I did put some pegs in it as well....

Unproductive

It feels like I haven't finished anything for ages.  I have been working on UFOs but not achieving much in the way of complete finishes - although I have finished some tops....

These were the efforts from an evening at Lutterworth Piecemakers - everybody was making stuff to be tombola prizes for the exhibition later in the year.   I supplied the fabric and Denise brought her sewing machine and along with the help of Sue, we made 25 tissue pack covers between us.  The theme for the tombola is "things to put things in"...

A lot of people on the night were making these quilted pouches:

I brought a pattern home and have made these two and was very pleased with how the zips came out!  One of them is for a left handed person (obviously) but overall, very pleased!!

Went to my first workshop in an absolute age on Thursday.  Gail Lawther at Lutterworth Piecemakers.  I finished my project on the day - all apart from the binding - and then had to get my (workshop) sewing machine back out today as I had missed a bit when quilting the background.   An Oyster Catcher.   I chose this pattern (from the four available) as I am sure Mark and me have seen these at Bridlington.  

Linus disappearing 9 patch

 

We had a Linus evening at Lutterworth and made disappearing 9 patch quilts in groups.  I offered to quilt the finished top.

2022 count

 In 2022 I made a total of 14 quilts, one bag and one doll.  Doesn't sound like much....
