Another Fig Tree Club Project

I promise though I have not been blogging I have been doing a little bit of sewing!





I quilted in the negative space of this one. This was quilted about the same time as the Origins quilt, and so I was liking the look of the puffy designs. This one just needs binding now.....

The Best Way to get a Thank You.....

I love this picture.











This quilt was finished just in time for our drive North for Christmas, it was dropped off along the way. I have to admit it is very difficult to acheive the "random" look. Because inevitably you will will have two of the same color or print just too close. Then of course the flower applique had to be placed so that the red blooms aren't too close to the same color red tumbler, and the green stems aren't too close to blend in with green tumblers.....so complicated!

I broke out of the regular routine and quilted some whimsical flowers on this one, but I am happy as this is my first improv, FMQ attempt.

Whirlygigs in Fig and Plum

This is a Thimbleblossoms pattern made with Fig and Plum. Still needing quilting, this was a fun project to work on!

Picnic Schnibble (November)

This is the November Schnibble project. Yes, I realize it is April, but I have an excuse....November was very busy month for me. I will admit it. I was afraid of this one (and it took me long enough to finish it), but I was afraid of the two before this one as well. The schnibbles project was my way of forcing myself to try new techniques. As my sewing skills and pattern kahoneys are still rather green....I am still a little hesitant to try some of these techniques. I wasn't really in love with this pattern, but I bought the kit, and I wasn't really in love with the kit either, so it kind of got put off to the side for some other projects that needed finishing. Then as usual, life got in the way and I never really felt the urge to go start it.

Then, miraculously, I found a gorgeous little Picnic kit in a little quilt shop outside of Philly (near the in-laws). The quilt was a great grouping of Fig Tree prints. I don't know what line it is, but I recognized it was fig tree.
