My Tis the Season quilt is FINISHED! And, in time for Christmas - Yay!!!
I ended up hand quilting the sashing, around each embroidery square. And even though I hate it, I quilted in the ditch too (just for fun).
I stopped into Spotlight yesterday, to get some fabric for the binding. You can’t see it very well in this photo, but it’s a burgundy/green/cream pattern and works well with the colours in the quilt.
Some stats:
Start – March 2011
Finish – November 2011
As the stitcheries are a perfect little size, they’re portable and have travelled 1000’s of kilometres with me.
From Wollongong, NSW, to:
Sydney, NSW (many, many times)
Melbourne, VIC (twice)
Lake Conjola, NSW (twice)
Port Vila, Vanuatu
I’m so pleased that it’s finished and I can now start on a new hand stitching project.
Do you like to have a hand stitching project at the ready?
A wonderful finish. Won't it be great to display for Christmas! They are gorgeous stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteWow what a pretty stitched quilt. I love all the handwork and the pretty Christmas colors.
ReplyDeleteI have applique hearts that need blanket stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat is an extremely well travelled quilt. Yes, I always have a stitching project on the go. I have A Gardener's Journal at work for during lunch. It is very slow going, but it is getting done. I think it will be ready to put together when I retire. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. It will be the start of wonderful family Christmas memories for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like to crochet during waiting room moments, that is, before I got an iPod and now I sit around doing Sudoku. Must get back to crocheting and be productive!
Wooohoooo...go you! The borders finish it off nicely. I always have a bit of hand-stitching on the go...feel a bit lost without it, actually :) Are you joining in the new SAL project?
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely, Anorina. :) Yes, I like to keep a stitchery project (or hexies) beside my recliner to work on whenever I get the urge to stitch. :0)
ReplyDeleteI left a comment but it has disappeared.
