Latest quilty work to date

Hi All
Not so good news - Work is still undecided so still in No man's land but plodding on....
Pretty good news - Nearing the end of my course so that's good as it'll give me more time to get involved with quilty-related swaps and to catch up with friends more often.

Very good news - Booked my room at Etap for 3 nights, got my train tickets really cheap (only £21 from South Essex to Birmingham Int. return) - saved over £30 whoopee, and hopefully have the tickets covered too.....

Here's my latest little quilty stuffs -
Order for a Father's Day gift for an elderly housebound man who loves birds
Double sided cushion cover -



And a tray/table mat too


Hope he likes them

Molly's Quilt & Tote bag

Hi All
Ooops! I made a mistake with the deadline for the quilt order for a friend. Thought I had about 2 weeks but I was wrong. I mixed up hers and my grandaughter's birthday so had to get on with it during my Easter holiday. YAY! happy to say all finished in time for her birthday party tomorrow. Just hope she likes it. I made a pillowcase for the quilt to go on Molly's bed which turns into a Tote bag for carrying to sleep-overs.
Here's the finished quilt & bag -

The quilt has 86 hearts quilted on it. The cover is a pillowcase with 3 layers of quilted petals on. The centre petals hide a photo of Molly and this turns into a Tote bag as the hidden handles are velcroed to the top of the pillow.   
                                                                                                                                           
To all those who are unwell in Liverpool, Canada and UK,  I hope you all feel better soon.

Blocks and other stuff

Hi All
I've completed some smaller projects since the last time I posted. In between doing quilting, I made some cushion covers but won't be posting them here. This is Rosemary's Christmas block which felt quite weird doing it in almost Springtime. If you look closely you can see Santa through the net curtain and even Rudolph is helping as he leaves his sleigh and goes to put a bauble on the tree.













I've also completed my round of 2 Round Robins but can't post the photos yet as the owners haven't received them back yet but I did get mine back which is lovely and will post a photo of each of the 4 we did, at a later date.

Work is as ever, extremely busy but I've got plenty of other things on the go to keep me sane.

Town & Country wallhanging

Hi All
I've finally got back into 'my stride' after extended illness and finished the wallhanging for a friend who has moved house. It measures 27.5 x 18.5 ins and I just need to add the label which has an Irish blessing of offerings of bread, salt and wine so if she doesn't like it, that's all she'll be walking away with hahahaha! the bread, salt and wine....
Here's the finished item -
Here's hoping it ends up on my wall.....
