This is my strings quilt yesterday - if I hadn't worn my machine out -I'd have done more today but..I'm cutting out another instead. I think my machine needs some TLC (I think I'll wait for the mechanical genius's to get back from school first!!)
I changed the strings into different patterns yesterday - and now I regret it - but hey-ho...a good excuse to do another!! Boy oh boy I am NOT unpicking it!!
This is how it looked first off..
Now I'm monkeying about with a quilt thats gonna be a Christmas present. I knew I wanted black and purple in it...and I had a lovely easy star pattern sent to me in the spring that I wanted to try. So today I'm auditioning fabrics. Here's a few of my ideas and faux -pas!! |

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work Julie, I'm very impressed with whatever you make x
ReplyDeletehi, thanks for stopping by and having a gander!! I'm petty new to this quilting lark and I have found some incredible tutorials on line, either within blogs on on You Tube - plus I am gathering a collection of books - any of Kaffe Fassetts books have quilts for every ability. But the thing that got me hooked first was a workshop...I really got the bug!
