Bags More Quilting!

Victim of my own success!

Well Mary was so pleased with the 'London' Bow Tucks Bag, when I delivered it and the two cot panels on Thursday, that she asked me to make another one; this time in a cute dog fabric (as well as quilt two more panels). I just couldn't leave it alone and, alongside starting quilting the top for Lesley, I had it finished by Saturday lunchtime!

Then It was back up in the loft for a seven hour stint to complete this free-motion design, with a new twist on those flower petal feathers zigzagging down the open spaces. Val's piecing was superb and it was an absolute joy to work on - so pleased with the result.

(Followed by a long soak in the bath with a large Sauvignon Blanc!)

So did I give it a rest today?            No!!
  
I made a start on the other pieces Mary gave me. This is the first, a whole piece of brushed cotton which she wants as a playmat for a nephew. The front is patterned and doesn't photograph so well. But here is the back; it is a plain chocolate brown and really shows up the texture. 

Next up is an over-sized 'queen' top, which is technically too big for my frame. But I have agreed with our new group member, Sue, that I will give it a go. What's more she has asked for metallic thread (which I will look for at Olympia next week). So that's another challenge! If I go quiet for a week or so, you will know what I am up too!

Happy Quilting Everyone!
