Last week was my mums 49th birthday! Do you know what that means? It means I have 51 weeks to make her a 50th birthday quilt! So far I have no idea what I want to make. I don't have a pattern, fabric line or even colour in mind. I am hoping some inspirations comes to me quickly. I am thinking of using some english paper piecing but that is my only thought so far. I have a few vague ideas Mum likes to travel, she has been to Paris, India, Egypt and a few other countries so that's something to think about. This is a wall hanging she got from somewhere. I thought this wall hanging could be some inspiration for colours but I don't know. I am the worlds worst decision maker. Mums bedroom window looks over our country cottage garden so that's an idea too. The problem with mums is they say everything you do is nice so it's tricky knowing what they actually love. xxx ooo
I actually finished this during curves class so I don't know why it has taken me so long to upload, actually I do know why its because Ive been so busy. Curves are tricky When I was hand stitching the binding I found this on the other side. I don't know how it happened and I wasn't very happy to see it. I just hand stitched it up and it seems fine to me. I think I need to be a bit more careful when sewing on binding. Two weekends ago I went to my first ever quilt show. It was a small local show but I loved it and found a lot of inspirations. I have also joined this sampler quilt mini bee I'm in hive H! Now to decide on a block.
I have finished my fisrt block for my clover and violet garden steps quilt a long. I should have pressed it before I took the photo. I really like it. It's got my own shakey twist to it. Tomorrow the handstitched class starts at stitched in color . I am super excited!
Good luck with finishing your assignment. Love the block!!
