catching Up...

Oh dear...I'm so behind with my blog  :-/

Looking through my photo albums I've so much to blog about so the best thing to do I reckon is start from the beginning.

Since my daughter finished her zig-zag quilt I made a start on quilting this quilt I call 'Sunflower Hearts' 

I bought the batik fabric from Craft & Quilts and wanted to make something that would represent my love for bright batik fabrics!  

I cut the batik and the white backing fabric into 2 1/2" squares and laid them out on a board, sewing them together in diagonal rows.

I then cut off the points, added an inner border and outer border and layered up for quilting.  

I started quilting...

 

...and that's as far as I've got!!

I'm very pleased with the heart design though...I just need to get motivated to finish it!

In the meantime I've finished a batik jelly roll quilt, 

started another batik quilt, started a very easy quilt using some more fabric I bought from the FOQ, 

made 2 e-reader covers, 

started a couple of journal quilts, 

made some postcards & ATCs, 

wrote an article for a magazine (more about that in another post)...

...and today I cut out the fabric for yet another quilt I couldn't wait to start!

Well you can't be called a real quilter unless you've got a few UFOs...can you ;-)

And that's what I've been up to...
