Stylised Flower FMQ design, similar to an ipatchandquilt motif. I am leaning towards a stylised flower design to match the geometric and graphic feel of the quilt. I quite like it, even though red isn’t close to the top of my favourite colours. There is just enough blue-green in this colour combination to make it interesting. perhaps something similar to one of the orange peel-derived patterns from ipatchandquilt? Or butterflies? The latest adult charity quilt in my queue. I am still thinking through what to quilt on this one. The prints include lace, roses and butterflies, and the back is a dusky pink. It is less feminine than that quilt, but it is still not a bloke’s quilt. It is the same pattern as the quilt I quilted with the daisy FMQ motif. The second quilt is an adult quilt in red and brown. Child’s quilt all stabilised and ready for FMQ Aren’t the prints cute on this?!! Here’s one of the little critter designs I’m going to be using. I will be dusting off those skills to quilt the same critters on this one. One of them was the quilt I did for my nephew featured in the Digging for Pineapples post last week. Deciding what to quilt on this is easy for a change!!! I know, shock, horror!! Last year I did two quilts covered with flowers, suns, butterflies, dragonflies, leaves and snails. Some of the fabrics feature bugs, flowers or birds. The first one is a happy child’s quilt covered in big squares of bright colours.
I have been working on stabilising two more charity quilts, ready for some free-motion quilting to make them a bit more special and unique. So, as you can see, plenty of creativity going on around here this week. But she is very definitely hoping for a ribbon. She did a great job, don’t you think? She is anxiously waiting a verdict, asking me to check the online results every day! I have tried to encourage her to just be proud of entering.
(I think I can safely talk about this in public now, as judging will have already taken place.) Anyway, Miss 9 learned to crochet while we were living in Germany last year, and recently decided to design her own Christmas stocking to enter in the 8-10 year olds home economics class at The Show. This year, Miss 9 decided to have her first go at entering an exhibit in the Royal Show. Lots of fun but a little labour intensive. The emphasis is on trying to be involved in making your own costume rather than just buying one. Book Week involves a school parade where each child dresses up as a favourite book character. We’ve had a busy few days at Gardner-Stephen HQ, with it being submissions week for exhibits at the Royal Adelaide Show and also Book Week for the children. what have you been working on this week? Something fun, I hope! Our weekly update and a chat about why I am considering quilting more fabric panels….īut first….
