Another flimsy from Stephanie

 I really love this one and it sparkles so well.

Jeanette's Projects

 Jeanette (Geraldton, WA) has sent photos of her latest projects.

She explains I've completed the 2 raffle quilts for our club .... 75"x66". I also made hexi mug mats with caravans as centres, but decided I didn't need more of these so put them together as a table centre.  

The two quilts for the club are the same size.

I like the caravans Jeanette!

Joint projects

 Stephanie and I work well together on joint projects and I learn so much from such a guru of patchwork.

Our latest finish is Baradine Bits by Bubble Buddies...

This was made from all the 'rubbish bin scraps' gleaned from other quilters at Scrub Stitchin' 2024. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Now we need another joint project and have decided on using only fabrics with a black background. This should be fun too.

Stephanie's latest flimsy

Stephanie used a different sashing technique for her latest quilt top and says it is so much easier to put it all together.

 Instead of joining the long columns together with a single strip of sashing she has sashed the bottom and one side of each block individually. This makes it much easier to line up the blocks on the column edges, especially when the blocks don't actually line up anyway.

A really important lesson

 Lynne from Patchery Menagerie has a lot of quilts quilted by others and was applauded for her excellent quilt tops (flimsies). Her lesson for us all is...

"If there are any of you have don't believe the stories you've heard, here it is writ large: Press your seams, trim your threads. Make sure your work is square and lies flat without any ripples. It makes a big difference."
