flying fish kits

3 years later... from Wendy's Quilts and More

Wow! It appears to be about three years since I last worked on this quilt!!

And it's quite close to being finished. So today I chose my leaves for the second panel and glue basted them down so I can hand applique them when the mood strikes.

I did enjoy making the wool felt applique flowers.

I'm hoping to get this top finished before Christmas and then I can add it to the hand quilting pile because I already have ideas of how I want to quilt it. And as I mentioned a few weeks ago, our guild ...

Tutors' Exhibition at Symposium from Wendy's Quilts and More

Each of the tutors at Symposium were invited to bring a quilt for the Tutors' Exhibition.

Collectively the quilts formed a wonderful display in the school library. I visited the Tutors' Exhibition quite a few times and enjoyed studying the quilts up close.

My favourite was "Looking Up" by Wendy Williams from Australia. I took a lot of photos because I wanted to remember:

- the range of stitches Wendy used on the wool felt applique

- the number of different fabrics Wendy used in the quilt (it was made during lockdown so Wendy had to use what she had on hand ...

Licorice Allsorts from Wendy's Quilts and More

Material Obsession in Sydney, Australia sent out the last package for the Wendy Williams Licorice Allsorts Block of the Month last week.

So naturally I decided it was time that I actually started stitching this quilt before the next round of Block of the Months get released in July.

Don't get me wrong - I love this quilt, and I'm very keen to make it, but I just had too many other things on the go at once. Even I have a limit of how many things I can juggle at the same time.

I love that this quilt ...

Tea Party part 4 from Wendy's Quilts and More

I did it! I started the centre block.

It's quite hard to hand applique on a piece this big, so I'll be pleased when I'm finished this block. Then I can machine sew on two borders that I've already got ready, and then suddenly I'll be able to see real progress.

Here's what I'm aiming for. There's still so much left to do!

Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

Oh! Christmas Tree from Wendy's Quilts and More

I haven't made any Christmas quilts this year, but I'd like to show you my Oh! Christmas Tree quilt that I made back in 2016. This quilt is a great example of how you can take your quilting lead from the design in the fabric. See all those snowflakes in the backgroud? I hand quilted over them with Aurifil 12wt and now they stand out beautifully.

This is a wool felt applique pattern designed by Wendy Williams of Flying Fish Kits.

I loved making this quilt because I got to play with all the brightly coloured felt.

My ...
