I can't remember

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

A leftover finish

This is made from the left-over 4 patches for Bonnie Hunter's chequerboard leader and ender challenge. I made too many 4 patches - I haven't finished the main chequerboard quilt yet - but I have put the rows together but just not the rows into the quilt top.... It is on my "to do" list but I couldn't leave the left over bits alone.

Festival of Quilts and Bonnie Hunter

I've been stalking again.... Bonnie signed my book for me this time! I knew there was a reason I hadn't bought this book yet.

Two finishes

I have had a week off work following the Festival of Quilts and I have two finishes! They both have been quilted for a while but I have done the binding.

This MUST be about my oldest UFO. It was a workshop at a shop that closed down years ago - it was my first attempt at foundation piecing and is on a printed background. My foundation piecing skills haven't really improved since this first effort. It will probably end up in the dog's basket.

This was a Bonnie Hunter mystery - I think it was called Easy Street. Huge, in typical B Hunter style - Mark is standing on our garden bench. This is being gifted to a lady in Wales who helped mum out when she broke her arm back in January.

UFO finish

This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern "Florabunda". I had it on my design wall until it got dusty, then it was a top for ages and I have finally quilted it and done the binding.

Wedding present

A Bonnie Hunter pattern - Patches and Pinwheels. Mark's cousin Hayley is getting married today.

I am keeping busy....

I have put together my Bonnie Hunter Leader and Ender project - this is Rick Rack Nines and is HUGE..... Mark had to stand on a chair in the garden and he is 6'2".

Ironing it will be a mammoth task, never mind quilting it.

Like buses

This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern - Jared Takes a Wife. I came across a bit of paper today that told me I started this in June 2012...... I ran out of the pink polka dot fabric (I bought it from a charity shop - bargain) so only made so many blocks, put them on point and invented the other block to go with it using a plain pink. Have just finished the binding.....

Two for the price of one

Two Bonnie Hunter patterns: Wonky Wishes blocks with a dancing nine patch setting.

Our kitchen tiling is nearly finished so Mark insisted the photo show some of the tiles. Scarlett had to be in the photo too, and bottom left is Penny's disappearing bum.....

It's official - I'm a stalker....

Festival of Quilts today and who did I meet?...... BONNIE HUNTER!!!!

She was lovely - very chatty. I normally go to FoQ on Sunday (quieter) but I knew Bonnie was going today so I went a day early. I spotted her when I was in the queue to go in first thing in the morning and I was so excited I think the lady next to me thought I was having a fit.... she looked at me a bit weird so I had to point out Bonnie Hunter and explain my hero worship. I squeezed through the queue (very politely) so I could speak to her and ask for a photo.... She was lovely and I spoke to her again in the day when I saw her walking round. I sent Mark the photo on my phone and he called me a stalker...... Mission accomplished!

Halfway there....

290 nine patches Bonnie Hunter's Leaders and Enders style....

now I just have to find the book and remember which pattern it was....

Finished

So finished, it even has a label on it..... Quilted on NessieJ Jamie Wallen style but I had real trouble with the thread breaking. In the end I switched to a different brand and then had no problems. A Bonnie Hunter pattern - Scrappy Trip Around the World.

Three things

Another finished quilt - on a roll.... This is for the huge Alzheimer's project in Scotland next year but I will post it after Christmas when some of the madness has stopped. Quilted on Nessie but I have only just finished the binding.

Progress to show Lynda - I have got a bit further since taking the photo but nothing is ironed or de-dog-eared (Mark always says that sounds cruel).

And finally, this is the result when your cat knocks your box of Ready Brek onto the floor and the puppy gets to it before you do.....

Fame!

Wow, I've been mentioned on Bonnie Hunter's blog! Nothing very exciting - I forwarded her a link about a free kindle quilting book that had been mentioned as free on BQL. It did mean my name is mentioned on Bonnie's blog though..... Need to go and walk the dogs and calm down!
