After about a month I have finally gotten round to quilting the Whirligig top I made with all the lovely fabrics from Elizabeth Scott. And also managed to find some late afternoon sunshine to photograph it in. It is the biggest quilt I have FMQ’d so far, and though my machine really struggles with tension …
But first let’s look at this cute baby bunny! Our field and garden are full of these tiny, furry things at the moment, and Jonathan managed to capture this sweetie perfectly!

Here is the top for Felix’s 21st birthday quilt finished (well almost, see below). I posted about the initial idea here. It is based on a computer colour tool. This has got to be one of the easiest quilts I have ever made. Once I had tracked down the wonderful Kona Solid Charm Packs (from …
I actually finished my doll quilt a couple of weeks back, but what with starting so many new projects I haven’t had time to post about it. My partner received the quilt last week and seems to be genuinely delighted with it, so phew! I was making this quilt as part of the Doll Quilt …
