I then decided it was time to put together the Squares and Chains quilt the blocks for which I showed back in November. This is the front - all made from the contents of my scraps boxes:
I LOVE it!
And this is the back with a label I sewed on my sewing machine. I was sure I could reduce the size of the font but I couldn't figure out how to do that so I just used it in this big size. I also should have balanced the lines better but, you know what, if anyone complains about it, I'll tell them where to go!! 😝
Jo gave me this faces fabric last year and I decided it was time to use it so I made a couple of pinnies ...
... and some oven gloves to match. Jo got one pinny and a pair of gloves and I kept the others. They've already been slotted in to the pinny/oven glove rotation. I LOVE them!
I'm now working on another Stained Glass quilt. I made this one back in March last year and decided I'd make another one this time for Jo.
All the squares and strips and sashings are cut and I've made a start to the blocks.
I'm loving re-making this one and I know it'll be just as stunning as the original one.
So, that's January done. How can a month of the year be gone already? 😵💫
All very beautiful - yes, even the smalls, bag. Delighted with my pinny and oven gloves - thank you. And cannot wait for the stained glass quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them. It might take me a wee while to finish the quilt ... or maybe not! LOL
DeleteLove the pinnie fabric, really different. Also really like the Squares and Chains quilt too. I'm not a quilter but really appreciate the work that goes into them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. I always think it's a good thing I enjoy doing patchwork and quilting otherwise, all the work involved might put me off! LOL
