New Year plans!

Hello Everybody

I have had a busy year – not all of it sewing – however, I have managed to complete a few of my projects, so I will list the completed ones first and then sort through the remainder.

Three lap quilts were started and completed last year. The first was my William Morris Quilt which was a strip pieced quilt using the tube method (as demonstrated by Kate on the Last Homely House You tube channel.) The second was a lap quilt for my mum (to cheer her up). The third was a quilt for my Sister-in- Law who loves gardening, so her quilt featured plants and gardening tools.

The front depicts a raised garden, lawn and flower border, the back is the garden tools.

Front and back of William Morris Quilt – sorry I don’t have a photo of it completed. I quilted each chevron. I’m very chuffed with this quilt.

I also made my Husband a cover for his chair as a cushion behind his head was making his neck ache (angle felt wrong). I had to quickly judge the measurements so no judging about wrinkles on curve

I padded it out a little with 6 scrap pieces of batting so plus side used some scraps. I just quilted it around the borders and secured it with elastic at the back.

Speaking of using scraps I also made a placemat and completed two more cushion covers using the remnants from my Jane Austen Quilt.
