Sew Wot Tuesday from Romany Quilting

This time Sew Wots was held at Helen's rural property. There was a bevy of cute heifers looking over the fence at me as I came up the drive, watching me with their big soulful eyes. It was nice to see Sandra again, she hasn't been feeling too bright lately. We spent the morning chatting away, as we got on with our various knitting projects.

So.... what did we have for show and tell. Carol had been busy again, with more ...

Almost there, and Quilt Club Night from Romany Quilting

I’m almost at the finish line with my current UFO, the Christmas Mystery Quilt. All the blocks have now been quilted, and the borders have too. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I don't really enjoy machine quilting, but I’ve persevered. How I would love to be able to do fancy feathers, swirls, and bubbles, but sadly all that creative stuff is beyond me.

Straight line quilting on each block

The borders were quilted using the variegated thread with gently waving lines. Next step was to stitch the blinding on – something I had prepared earlier, as ...
