It is a very nice feeling to have a very old UFO finally completed....."Beyond the Garden Gate". It is a lovely quilt to stitch and I have no clue why it languished in the cupboard almost finished for so long!
FIONA'S quilting is lovely and I am thrilled with it....I love the leaves. Perfect for a garden quilt.
I had in my stash for years, several bits and pieces of a Violets range of fabric that I had bought just because I love the nostalgia depicted. However there never seemed to be the right project to be able to use it.......until BTGG!
AND I used just about every skerrick of it.....borders, backing and binding!
It was lovely sewing the binding down and enjoying all the beautiful quilting and the quotes on the fabric. It is now hanging in my lounge room and I am delighted!
The second quilt is getting it's binding sewn down now.
I also have been doing a little secret squirrel stuff.....
I cannot believe how quickly the festive season seems to be approaching and I hate panic....I like to enjoy the process. But we are all different I guess.
Speaking of which....I just love how my two gorgeous Grandie girls are authentically themselves.....had to share these pics....plus SMILES are contagious.
Miss E. Loves a bit of something you can get your teeth into in her reading choices. She's very proud that she is reading Chapter books now!
And Miss C. adores pink....the pinker the better....and when you get to make a bear to your very own taste.....well you'd go for it wouldn't you! I hope they always stay true to themselves 💜💕
Ok must get the washing in.....Looks like we may get a storm.....fingers crossed...not a fierce one but rain would be welcome.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

Beyond the Garden Gate is fabulous quilt. Beautifully stitched and then quilted, and looks just right hanging on your wall.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, they are shooting up aren't they! Your garden quilt is lovely, Michelle......it's very "you". That glimpse of a floral backing fabric is interesting, is it an Aussie print?
ReplyDeleteThe girls are sweet :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the quilt finish; a very good use of your treasured fabric. The nice thing about having an old stash, it is very different from anything in the shops now, so it makes your quilt so much more special :-)
