Still Quilting.

 

"Beads" created with K. Fassett's line of fabrics.

I have been missing in blogland action.  I have seen lots of action.  Notice the crib in the pic of my last large quilt finish. 

Our family has grown. The little ones call me GG. (Grandma Gudrun is a mouth full, GG rolls of the tongue. 

Oh yes, there is a lot of catch up to do.  

Keep on quilting,

GG

Dear Mom

March 17, 2020.

I miss you Mom. RIP

Baby Penny

I had a number of friendship star blocks  and I am learning machine applique, I appliqued a Pig.

Why a pig .... 2019  Year of the Pig.

Then Penny was born at the beginning of December and I hurried and got this to her at the beginning of January.

Penny is child # four, she is cousin to my Grands.  I look forward to meeting her...probably when winter is over .

I neglected to take pictures, these were taken by an Uncle.
Her name and birth date are stitched on the quilt.

Happy Quilting!

ALB # 2

We have two Grand Daughters they both have the same initials. I don't think it was noticed nor does it matter.

 Here is the latest addition to our family. She arrived on the last day of Febrary, two days after her Great Grand Father Fred passed away. A wonderful ray of sunshine with perfect timing for a sad family.

Welcome to the world ALB

 We love you bunches.

This is ALB 2 's cousin taking a selfie on GG's phone.

And the other ALB  who leads the pack

GG loves this bunch a whole bunch.

Happy Days,
Gudrun

Garden Weave

I started Garden Weave April 2018.  It started with all fabrics from one favourite shop and  was augmented with a few bits from my 'stash'.  It measures 90 x 110 inches and has a wool batt. It is warm. I had a couple of lovely sleeps under it and am keeping it.😊 I use wool batts when ever I can.

The motives in the plain squares were started with a tool I own called Circle Lord.  I recently had the wheels on the long arm replaced with a ballbearing arrangement called Bliss.  The Bliss system is great but now the Circle Lord aint what it used to be. 

This quilt is large and used most of the frame, and because I can not get around both sides of the machine (one end against the wall) I could not engage the Circle Lord on the wall end, I would have had to turn the quilt.  This scenerio annoyed me so much I pulled back from sewing Motives using Circle Lord and went freehand on a few. It all works in the end. 

So now I need to re-think how I am going to accomplish spirals etc. in the future. 

Some garden pictures,  just because.

Happy Friday,

Gudrun
