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.

I have been working on this little quilt for the past 3 weeks for our Guild's Quarterly Challenge.  Five ladies participated and every quilt turned out quite different and beautiful.  Watch out for photo's of them on the  Oranje Quilter's Guild blog in the next day of two over here. 

I bought this beautiful cherry fabric in 2010 and was so excited to use it for this project.  While working on it, the ideas just kept coming like adding Swarovsky Crystals for the chicken's eyes and cherry buttons for the feet.  I'm quite pleased with the end result and really proud of it.  For once I did not use the embroidery machine at all on this project.
