Quilt 114 - At the beach

 This quilt was made as the annual retreat challenge for my quilt group Telequilters.  Attendees had to make any patchwork item, based around the theme 'birds'.  This was my entry.  I started with the idea of the beach boxes (at the bottom), and then added the sand, sea and sky levels.  The quilt was made using fabrics donated by St Vincents Op Shop Alstonville.  I'm really happy with the result, this quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 113 - Baby Chevrons

 I love a simple half-square triangle quilt patterned as chevrons.  This quilt was made using fabrics donated by St Vincents Op Shop Alstonville, and will be donated to Quilts4Kids

Quilt 112 - Floral X

 This quilt was a challenge as part of my quilt group Telequilters.  It was a 'rip challenge', where you started off with half a metre of your own fabric, ripped it in half and passed half along to the next person.  That was repeated until each person had about 6-7 different fabrics.  You then had to make a quilt using those fabrics.  I based my quilt on Bonnie Hunter's 'String X' pattern (https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/string-x.html).  The finished quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids.

  

Quilt 111 - Kimono girls

My latest quilt finish.  From a small quilt pattern in a magazine (will update this post with the details if I locate the pattern) which I made into a bigger quilt.  Fabrics donated via Alstonville St Vinnie's Op Shop.  Quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 110 - Darth

I love Star Wars, and when I saw this fabulous design from Shwin & Shwin (https://shwinandshwin.com/2014/10/darth-vader-quilt-free-pattern.html) I couldn't wait to make it.  Here is my version, which will be donated to Quilts4Kids

Quilt 109 - Kyogle 9-patch

I often participate in the annual Kyogle Quiltathon, held in August each year.  At last year's Quiltathon, I inherited a UFO of 9-patch squares which I took to finishing.  The quilt is now done, I am really happy to have helped finish a project and I hope I did some justice as to what the original pathworker was planning.  I think the colours are lovely and I'm pleased with the finished quilt, which will be donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quits 108 A & B

I had bought some Easter-themed fabric a few years ago, but never made something in time for Easter (similar to my Halloween-fabric experience).  But this year, prompted by working from home, I got my act together in time and made two Easter table runners.  One for our house, and one for Mum.  My one has the yellow chicken fabric as the outer border, and Mum's the green bunny fabric.
Pattern is based on Connie Kresin's Roasted Coffee table runner https://conniekresin.com/roasted-coffee-table-runner-tutorial/

Quilt 107 - Mexican Fiesta

I made this quilt for my friend Lauren who got married in March.  She and her now husband like Mexican food, and she is also a very colourful girl.  I saw a shot of this quilt on Aunt Em's quilt blog (https://www.auntemsquilts.com/) and loved it.  The colour scheme is different to what I usually work with so it pushed my creative boundaries.  The quilt was a huge hit so I'm really pleased about that.

Quilt 106 - Halloween

I bought some Halloween fabrics on sale at Spotlight years ago.  I then meant to make a table runner each successive year but always remembered too late for Halloween.  But in 2019 I finally did it, and got my table runner made in time to put out for Halloween.

Quilt 105 - Circle pizzazz

My sister went to Japan a few years ago, and brought me back a range of beautiful Japanese fabrics.  I made this quilt from them, supplemented by a few extra fabrics sourced from Spotlight.  The pattern is from a book called 'Circle Pizzazz' by Judy Sisneros.

Quilt 104 - Tumbleweeds

This quilt was a long time in the making, as I sewed the individual blocks together as placeholders on my machine between sewing other projects.  I aimed to pick fabrics with a calming tone and I'm really happy with the result.  The quilting pattern is called 'Baptist Fans'.  The pattern design is 'Sharing Thimbles' by Edyta Sitar, from her book Friendship Strips & Scraps.

Quilt 103 - Initial quilt

In my quilt group, when you reach a milestone birthday the other members make blocks with your initial embroidered on it.  You then get the blocks and decide what you want to make them into (unless it is an 'advanced' milestone birthday, and then the quilt group will make you a quilt out of them).  For my 40th, I received a set of beautiful initial blocks, and I have made this lap quilt with them.
