I finally managed to get the facing on my Vintage Butterflies tablecloth quilt. I am now struggling with myself. I have several projects on the go. I have some Christmas projects that I want to get done, but I am also thinking about starting quilting another vintage tablecloth. It is lovely to have a choice of projects, but at the same time, I'm dithering. None of this is made easier by the fact my left wrist is strapped. I've no idea what I did to it...all I know is that it is painful! I need to just get on with something!
I have made a start on Christmas projects. I used Superior metallic threads and attempted to use random, continuous feathers as a background fill. I saw the panel as part of a free project by Karen of Redbird Quilt Co on www.bearcreekquiltingcompany.com/blog/2015/09/19/chickadees-and-berries-christmas-gift-trio/
I was able to buy the panel here in the UK, (I have to admit, I bought 3), but not the other fabrics, so I have had to make changes to the given pattern. I have enough left from the first panel to make 4 coasters and two placemats, so the panel goes a long way. I should probably add the binding to the wallhanging first!.
Happy quilting, all.
Your quilting ist very beautiful! I love the birds and hollybeery quilting with metallic tread.
