Two down, 40 to go. But the clock is ticking and Christmas Eve is my deadline. Eek!

One of two patchwork bird blocks - this one in a combination of teal greens with an orange beak - designed to mimic origami paper birds hung on strings.

Jo's Posey

A gift for a friend for a landmark birthday

Second time out for this pattern by #RobinPickens using fabric from my stash. But larger this time - about 48" square.

And I've included a secret message in the quilting.

A patchwork quilt representing a floral circular wreath - rendered geometrically - with flowers in peach, dark teal, lighter blue on white and turquoise and peach on black and turquoise and peach on white. All on a lighter duck egg blue background. The same quilt but from further away, hanging on a chain link fence in a light industrial setting - two one storey buildings either side made out of yellow London Stock brick, with bars on their windows. A tree in full spring leaf in the background and a bright blue may sky above. The same quilt close up. Showing the quilting pattern which is a series of ever decreasing offset squares which gives the illusion of curves as they spiral onwards. An even closer shot of the dead centre of the quilt - where, only about 2cm high, the number 50 has been used as quilting lines. The thread used is a similar colour to the duck egg blue background so the effect is subtle, almost hidden.

Next 5 of a 100 block sampler - designed by #AliceCaroline - using #RobinPickens fabrics from my stash rather than the suggested Liberty lawns.

Was planning on doing 2 a week, but 14 weeks into the year I'm at 9/100... 🤨... Need to up my planning skills!

Made this to practice my machine appliqué. And, as a chronically confirmed bachelor, a belated Valentine's to myself 💘 No passing Beaus to shower me with blossoms (squish squish 😂) Plus two test pieces I've turned into a fridge magnet & an oversize coaster.

A small patchwork quilt being used as a table cloth, made up of individual love heart shapes appliqued to squares that have then been sewn into a grid pattern. An open bottle of wine and a poured glass sit on top of the quilt. The same quilt hung up. It shows all 36 love hearts in a 6 x 6 grid. The hearts are in different shades of teals / turquoises, mustard yellows, pinks and dark charcoal greys and blacks. Some are patterned with lines, styilised flowers and mushrooms. Some have rose gold foiling. The grid is bordered in another greenish teal. A close up of the quilt showing the hearts are appliqued with a blanket stitch that reflects some of the other colours used in the hearts themselves. A single heart applique in a dark pink colour on a white background being used as a fridge magnet - it's helping to hold up a watercolour picture of a cornflower and an abstract image in blue on white.

The first 4 blocks of a 100 block sampler - designed by #AliceCaroline - using #RobinPickens fabrics from my stash rather than the suggested Liberty lawns.

#patchwork #sewing #quilting
Patchwork blocks in four different designs creating simple geometric patterns. Created via a method known as strip piecing where rectangles of different coloured fabric - bold, bright ones combined with an off-white in this instance - are sewn together, then subcut into smaller pieces, then resewn to create a variety of checkerboard, hashed and crossed patterns.

A Winter Posey in Sussex

A gift for my sister and her family for hosting Christmas again this year.

I rarely posted in the other place. And I feel here - and there - is more about the written word. But IG is also spiralling in ways I don't like.
So... a recent finish as my first proper post here
