quilt pictures

I had a few "unplanned" free minutes this afternoon (the choir ended early - yay!) so I thought I would try to take some quilt pictures on my own - problem one: where do you find a good fence? problem two: cloth pins are practical for holdign a quilt on the fence (if you remember to bring them with you) problem three: find a place where you can get high enough to photograph from above hmm yeah there were some more problems ... Arrrghhh yeah well next time I will run into fewer problems.

remember to look out for a higher fence

or maybe stick to smaller quilts

just liked to share the picture

The usual suspects that I link to

a finish

Yay - Vicotry ... I always love finishing the last two stitches of the binding. Now you will have to excuse the crappy pictures but the weather here is rather un-sunny in the last few days and it's not looking like it's changing so when I decided yesterday evening not to take pictures with a flash I didn't want to wait another day to take a few pictures.

So let me introduce my newest finish:

 "Walk the Line" it's 47" x 67" (or 120cm x 170cm)

a quilting detail (and much better colours)

And that's it I need to go back to my papers and in between try to memorise plays ... and iron binding for the other quilt ... maybe more of the black I have a lot of black binding left over....

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.

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.

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)

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 ...

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.

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