Rosey quilt doubled

I have - almost- finished my rose quilt. I have added the backing, quilted the main blocks, and could not wait and added the binding as well. Last time I took it to my mother, who said it is enormous, and I can easily cut it into 2 and make 2 quilts from the top. So I did cut it into 2, and I was lucky, because the sewing went in a way, that halving the top meant only unsewing the middle seam - no partial blocks, no y seams. Only the sideborder needed a little adjustment to accomodate the seams, and voila: twinset of coverlets.

 

Flourishing

I have some big blocks I am preparing for a quilt by betukbandi, and I was pushing them here and there, and I realised a large projectbag is what I need. I have checked a few ideas, and I come up with my own. I used some IKEA leftover fabric, and I really like the outcome. Perfect for all the solids used!

I have inserted some laminated sheets to make it more sturdy, and I am planning to add some plexy hobbyglass to make it even more stable.

For the inner side I used up some green fabric, and altogether it was 1.5m of fabric. 

Having this added, I have used 7m fabric and 2m minky until today in 2020.

Blue Explosion

I offered my niece a lapquilt and she had chosen a few ideas, with a blue quilt among them. I went through my stash and came up with this Blue Explosion for her:

The size is 10x13 from 5" squares halved, so cc 1.5m fabric was used for the top, and 1m 1.5 wide minky as a backing. Addig it to the 4m mask fabric, I am 5.5m fabric usage and 2m minky as of today.

Strolling along ready

A few weeks ago I have quilted and binded my Yoko Saito design, Strolling Along Path Of Green, but I did not posted it yet. Now I am showing it to you. It took quite a while, it was sitting on my couch almost for a year before I managed to convince myself to finish it. My main problem was how to quilt it. After a long contemplation I have opted for my usual organic design which gives a real nice texture.

Hanging bed for guineapig(let)s

My nieces have 2 guineapigs - or to be precise piglets, because they are only a few months old. My sister in law asked me to make a hanging bed for them to play with - I have St Magaret and her dragon to be the guineapig for the photo. The straps are adjustable, and I have added minky for further comfort.

All the materials came from the scrap baskets.

Scrappy Happy Dance

The scrappy quilt for my niece is ready, binded with a colorful striped binding and it has a supersoft minky backing. It is a perfect quilt to curl up with a good book!

I used up mostly little scraps, an some half yard white material for the connecting pieces. The backing is one meter minky bought for this purpose.

2020 - Balance (Tree of life)

I am participating in a coaching course by ICF, and one part is a peer coaching, where we are practicing on each other. For my coach I made a little present, it is called Balance and relates to one of our discussions. I really like the tree of life concept and I was thinking to make one for a time. Once she showed me an image how growth can be perceived through plant images - there are ones nice above the ground, but there are also which are not eye-catching outside, but has deep roots.   It came to me, that it is like a tree of life, but to have balance you need both - up and down, in and out. That is what I tried to capture in this. She really likes colours and I used bold ones to show it is full of life - I hope she will like it!
