Weddings -1

I embroidered these serviettes for Sascha, a colleague's wedding in May.  Until I saw the photo's today, I didn't knew it looked so stunning!

    The happy couple, Sascha and Stephen Gourley.

I wrote in this post about the present I made for them.

3D Cube Quilt finished

I've been busy with various small embroidery projects whilst finishing a project started last year February.  As I am in the process of buying fabric for 2 new quilts I want to make in 2013, I'm concentrating on finishing all the unfinished quilts.  Luckily I'm only quilting for 2 years now, so the stack is still manageable.

I did the 3d Cube Quilt course in February 2011 at Hettie Pringle from Stitchingmatters.  It was also my first attempt at free motion. 

Charity Quilt - Part 3

Nearly all the blocks for the Charity Quilt I wrote about in this and this post is finished.  The completed quilt is going to be awesome.  Herewith some more photo's:

The Art of Quilting Sampler Quilt - Blocks 3 and 4

Blocks 3 and 4 done, although still needing refinement.  Will square the blocks when all are done.

Each issue contains history pages with interesting facts of historical quilts.  I also enjoy the project pages where you can get even more inspired.  Instructions for a Suffolk puff and a Rouleau are featured in Issue 3 and 4.  Although the 4 blocks thus far was all cut from templates and then constructed, it does teach one how to line up all those little corners.

Panda Bear Cushion

I finally finished the cushion I wrote about in this post.
