Deja vu

 



I had two of the panels so the only thing different is the backing fabric.

I have decided I like large coasters so this is an orphan block quilted and bound....

3 hot water bottle covers.  A bit random.  I have joined a quilting group here in Scarborough and at the first meeting I went to, they had a demo on making hot water bottle covers.  They are for the quilts for care leavers charity for 16 year olds who leave care and are given a room in a shared house, a kettle and a toaster - not much of a start in life.

Last year

 It is March already and I haven't even counted up last year's efforts yet.  

A total of 15 quilts and 4 lots of other things...

Not much happening so far on the quilting front this year.  Moved on the 16th January but have just about unpacked all the boxes now - about 3 left but they have stuff in that I don't know where to put yet.


Packing to move unearths all sorts of things.  This is a panel that I have simply quilted.  I needed to test out Ness in her new location and wanted to see how long it took to meander quilt a cot sized panel - 25 minutes.  The binding took longer than the time to quilt it.
