2022 count

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

The end is nigh....


 Because it is nearly the end of the year - and no other finishes are in sight.  This is for a dog named Basil.

Busy American footballers


I didn't realise just how busy looking this quilt is until Mark held it up for me to photograph.  It is a disappearing 9 patch all from American football fabric. I have bought a whole load of this fabric on ebay because it is a really nice quality and is really cheap - I bought it to use as backing but had to make a quilt using all of the different ones. 

It is another one for Arthur to sleep on, on the sofa - he needs his  home comforts.....

Knock door run


 I have left this on a lady's doorstep - I know she is an elderly lady who lives on her own...  It was wrapped in a bag....

Another 3




 Another disappearing 9 patch - this one made from Snow White FQs from Aldi (going to Linus), a scrappy star quilt (going to Linus) and a disappearing 9 patch made from random scrap squares (for Arthur).

This was the New Years Day mystery for this year - finished it at the beginning of the year but I have just done the binding.  Arthur found it untrimmed and kept going back to it and chewing at the sticking out bits of wadding so I had to get it done just so I didn't have to keep picking bits up.  


The mystery class was the trees, the grass and the leaves then it was my choice of what to put in the middle.  Mark laughed when he saw the finished quilt as I shout "squirrel" every time I see one in the garden.

3 at once




The top one is a quilt for Project Linus.  I "volunteered" to make up a quilt from kit form.  It is a disappearing 9 patch made from 5" squares.


The middle quilt is all  Aldi Fat Quarters - Harry Potter themed featuring lots of chocolate frogs - which is why I liked it.  


The bottom one is the last of my challenge projects for Piecemakers this year - it was to use purple fabric.  Came along just at the right time as I wanted a plain colour but not black.  A jelly roll quilt to make the squares with the purple and white on white fabric added.
