Elaine's Fidget Mat

 Elaine has completed her Fidget Mat for her grandgirls. They has asked for one. I love the marble track.

It looks amazing with lots of fidgety things to do and textures to feel. I hope they are pleased.

Bubble Buddies get working

Stephanie and I had a great time this week as Bubble Buddies.

Stephanie has quilted Elaine's sampler and I am in the process of binding it in front of TV.

We have nearly finished the Snowball quilt top but it needs another border yet. We'll get onto that next Tuesday when we get together again.

This Tuesday we got out the Wonky Stars and today we finished making sense of them so we have now finished that quilt top. 

 

It really looks quite stunning and we've chosen a polar fleece batting and a backing so next week we'll tack those together and I'll start the quilting. The grey background is actually Stephanie's carpet, not a border.

Betty's Leaders and Enders done

 I just finished hemming this one in time for our Zoom this afternoon. I really like it so I hope you do too.

Thanks for your help with decision making.

I still have to trim all the end threads and label it but to all intents and purposes it is done.

Now to find a home for it.

Elaine's latest creation

Made from fabrics given to her by Jenny.

 

Two more finishes for the group

 The twin Bargello quilts that Stephanie and I quilted on her machine are now done. Labels are printed and I'll sew those on in front of TV. I have also photographed the pieced backs made from some Bargello blocks that did not quite fit with the others.

These quilts will go to Linda. She won one and will pay for the other. It was a fun experiment.

All those Leaders and Enders!

You can't even see the hole I have made in my little basket of Leaders and Enders that we continue to make but lots have been used.

 Here is my progress so far with Snail Trails.

I think I am going to stop at this size and give it a calico binding. I've no idea yet how I will quilt it.

Progress last week

 During the week Stephanie (my Bubble Buddy) and I moved a few more quilts just one step closer to completion.

I was excited to go to her place and try using her quilting machine - what a huge beauty!

I have now added binding to the two Bargello quilts and am sitting in the evenings hand sewing around and then will add labels. 

Stephanie still has the sampler quilt and we'll quilt that on another of our days together.

Our next achievements have been to  make two blocks for our next group quilt and write the instructions. I really loved the Ohio Quilt and have suggested we make blocks of lots of different sizes again.

We unpacked all the Snowball blocks and have trimmed those and arranged them on the design wall. We will be sashing with black (yes I have some!) to create the top then considering whether borders are required or not.

Meanwhile, I continue making little Snail Trail blocks for my lockdown quilt. It is looking good so far.

Three quilts finally complete

Stephanie and I, as Bubble Buddies were able to photograph the last three quilts that were finished some time ago which now makes those quilts complete and ready to go to their owners or charity.

Ohio Star - was won by Linda but she is swapping it for one of the Bargello quilts. This quilt has now been adopted by Karen W.

Jenny's Flowers - this is being bought by a friend of mine (another Jenny) who wants it for her bedroom. The money will go to charity.

Winding Ways - Elaine has done some hand quilting on this one and you can see it if you click on the picture and zoom in closely. Does anyone love this quilt enough to claim it?
