being busy

So I start to feel a little bad posting so much - but hey I finally have some real "time" on my hands so I need to suse it right?! Well I did - Thursday was a holiday and Friday was turned into a "bridge day" so I finished quilting my D9P.

D9P - finally getting somewhere

Well some details - try not to see all the loose threads I still need to take care of - I really should look into those meandering-endless designs. Uhh yeah when do I ever do what I should be doing ... why take the easy way if there's a complicated one.

D9P

Oh yeah and I think Imentioned using a sheet? bed cover? hmm I can't be bothered to look it up - anyway it's alovely rosé with rosé white flowers and brownish leaves (mind it's NOT pink - I don't do pink - except for very very good friends who know how to make me feel guilty if I refuse)

D9P

Well and as I was at the sewing machine - and needed a quilting break I took out a handful of scraps I got in the post that morning and - there it was a pre-cut flower, which I deemed perfect to give my sports trousers a "Ladylike" touch. I would have prefered a red or green and blue striped shorts - but I couldn't find any without pockets so I got stuck with the blue soccer shorts. Well I should have chosen a more girly sport like hmmm volley ball or tennis or badminton and I could get my colourfull shorts/skirts ...

upcycling - scrap usage

And here a complete shot - ehh and yeah that's the next quilt waiting for the basting pins so I can quilt it - the weather is really miserbale - The "ice holies" start tomorrow and they really want to do right by their name.

upcycling - scrap usage + quilt basting

And that's it - wll until I finish quilting the next quilt - I just need to settle on a "design".

  4. I like your quilting lines, particularly how you chose to quilt in different directions in different areas of the quilt. It looks great!

  5. I love the way that you've quilted the borders (and your feet help show the size of the quilt - from the first picture I thought it was a much smaller quilt!)

    Found you on Monday link up.

  6. Hehe, I didn't realise the scale of the quilt until the feet too! I've just started FMQ and I am enjoying being able to just meander my way across the quilt!

    Thanks for linking up!
