I've seen pics of Brenda's two (yes, not one but two) quilts and I must say that the contrasting colours work extremely well and cant wait till Ive got them all together for a group photo!


One is only little, 36" x 36" and the other one has plenty of wonky bits and wobbly quilting - as you should see for yourself in the next couple of days; it (the parcel) went in the post, 2nd class, yesterday (Monday)
Brenda.  My machines are: Corona, a 1953 Singer 201K-3, Caroline, a 1940 Singer 201K-3, Thirza, 1949 Singer 221K, Azilia, 1957 Singer 201K-MK2 and Vera, a Husqvarna 350 SewEasy about 20 years old. Also Bernina 1150 overlocker and Elna 444 Coverstitcher.

@Iminei  Thanks for letting me know, and thanks in advance for passing them on to Project Linus.

It's probably better for the quilts if they come out of their inner wrapping, but do whatever is most convenient for yourself, and then just hide them away in a dark corner until it's time to do something with them.

Mine is wrapped up and addressed, just waiting for a trip to the post office, some time this week. I'll let you know when it's on its way.

It was block production HQ this weekend with 34 blocks being completed which leaves just four blocks left to make.

Glad to hear the quilt has safely journeyed all the way to deepest darkest Dorset! Hope it does eventually find someone to

I think I may have changed my mind again.  So far I have started and abandoned three ideas.   :(  I've wasted so much fabric.   :(  There will probably be a world shortage of X and Y fabric before I've finished.

Oh well, onward and upward.

Motivation needed......I'm having the heebie jeebies  :o I haven't done any p&q ( apart from the cushion cover, which wasn't my best work  :| ) since January. I have the Linus quilt and the 2 colour thingy to do  -< Pleeeeaaaassse, all shout at me to get started!!
My problem is, I'm busy in the house and garden and by the time I've stopped, I'm too tired to think, let alone sew. It's not loss of Mojo I just can't seem to find the time or energy... H..E..L..P
