UFO #3

I have finally got around to finishing another UFO.  This dresden plate quilt is done with english paper pieced plates appliqued to a background fabric.  It was put together in a quilt as you go method,which allowed the backing to be different colour blocks and then the binding added.  It is going to my mother-in-law for her birthday this weekend.

White Rabbits!!

Do you say "white rabbits" on the first of each month??  We do - it is supposed to bring good luck for the rest of the month.

I finished 2 projects this month.  The first is a client project.  A hand embroidered, monogrammed pillow.  Hope she likes it.



The next is UFO #2 for 2013. Yeah!!!


Have a great day!!!

WIP(work in progress)

This is a my design wall right now.  I am working on 2 UFO's at the moment.
One is a celtic knot applique that I found while I was looking for something else - surprise!!!
The other is a penguin quilt that I have been working on for a while - it belongs to my daughter and I gave the the one finished block to her for her birthday with the promise of finishing it this year. Hopefully!!!

 
 
The two small blocks are needlepoint versions of some quilt blocks that I am experimenting with. 
 
Have a great day!!
