I am waiting for my last hand op and going through a bit of a good patch so I got my sewing out! It felt so good to be doing something!!! Although I have to take it steady and stop as soon as I get fizzling (pins and needles) slowly but surely I managed to finish her...my Winter Rose quilt.
Fiver loves sitting on it and often jumped up while I was sewing!
It's so lovely and snuggley.It's quite a heavy weight quilt as its made from upholstery or curtain fabric samples, but its thick and warm and will be robust enough to be taken to picnics and beaches in the summer and used as a rug!
I have always dreamed of making quilts and now I have finished two!!!
One I sewed completely by hand....but this one , I did the patchwork by hand and the quilting by machine........
Although I bound it by hand............it's been a long hard slog due to my bad hands......
But well worth it and I LOVE IT!!!!!
Claire it looks beautiful, well done!! x x

ReplyDeleteLove the quilt - a labour of love. How do you sew such neat words? Do you pencil them first then ever so carefully sew over? I just can't seem to make mine look anything other than a spider's doodles. If you know what I mean! LLX
ReplyDeletethank you for all the lovely comments ladies....i do love it x i just sew very carefully ll !! no pencil marks or anything! have two more patchworks left to quilt but have to find suitable backing material
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Inspirational, as I'm learning to quilt too. I love your choice of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove the rosey quilt! I don't know what is wrong with your hands but as someone that has bad rheumatoid arthritis in mine, I sympathize. I can only do so much on some days.
