The Raven quilt top complete! from Bizarre Quilter

Is it every really possible to snap a photo of a quilt without the dog in it? Or in this case the dog's bum?

Or the wind blowing?? I think these are iconic photos that need to be remembered. Haha.

Oh look, the dog's face~!

And don't forget the trampoline...

Feeling super happy that this is going to be finished in time to hang on the wall for all of October! Time to send it to Mum. What am I using on the back? Hmm.Will go for a rummage.

The Raven installment from Bizarre Quilter

That's a lot of foundation piecing put together! The entire top row and the sides of the top.

I decided to reverse the black and yellow. I wanted the black next to the blocks, much like the black sashing surrounds the blocks, and creates a yellow star at the cornerstones.

Proud of my achievements! Still working on the centre house block. The bottom row is next.

Progress on "The Raven" quilt from Bizarre Quilter

Still a few details to go on some of these blocks - a leaf or two, a few berries. I am finally up to the "most difficult" block, which is a house.

I use the freezer applique needleturn method, which means that i need the design to be reversed. Well guess what, the house in the centre is not quite symmetrical.

I really had to jiggle to get the yellow fabric underneath in the right spots.

I am super glad I left this to be the final block, because it's giving me the push I need to complete it. The ...

March Quilting from Janet Ann Creations

Appliqué always gives me a sense of peace.

The simple act of keeping my hands busy with needle work

and listening to books on tape has been my savior

during the Stay at Home directive in MA.

I've been making masks and mailing them to family and friends,

while watching the virus hit this country with such force,

my heart goes out to all those working on the front lines.

Currently I'm working on a number of projects...

never seem to finish anything - but making good progress on them!

The last block of 'The Raven' is complete.

The ...

Busy week! from Bizarre Quilter

It's been my son's first week in kindergarden, and what does a mother do to distract herself from the separation, especially when he is the one with separation anxiety at morning dropoff?

She joins quilt group for the second day in a row. A different store today, I cut out batting, and basted backing onto the back of 22 blocks (need backing for another 13 squares).

It was raining hard, and I needed to stay in town in case the road was cut off from home to the kinder. At least I could pick up my 4yo, even ...

Starseed Towel from Bizarre Quilter

This handtowel is appliqued with the triple goddess in shimmery fabric. It's gone to its forever home along with the new release card deck "Goddess Dream Oracle". What a great match they are.

I've purchased a special pattern from Blackbird Designs with a quilt design "The Raven". The book contains the poem by Edgar Allen Poe, and some of my favourite ever motifs: ravens and pumpkins. I have decided to make it in muted colours to hang up in the house in October, before we decorate for Christmas.

I think we are going to have seasonal decorating all ...
