Just a quickie this morning for the weekly snoop around the crafting world engineered by Julia. 
As you can see not much on the desk apart from the sewing machine and some fabric. Yesterday and today is all about patchwork! I had these strips of fabric for ages, first in a box and then after they'd been sewn into strips on my noticeboard. This week I am finally going to make them into a scrappy shabby quilt top. I might even be daring and go and get batting on Friday from my friendly quilt shop otherwise it will get folded up and put in a box for another couple of months!Mind you the sun is shining so I might be tempted outside for a spot of gardening or possibly snoozing ....

EDITED: and here's the completed quilt top. I laid it out on the bed to measure it up, when I got back from getting the tape measure, look what I found on it looking cute!

Love 'shabby' patchwork - my machine is in for service/repair - I feel like I have an arm missing and the repairer is on leave for 2 weeks - can't wait to get it back

I like the idea of a shabby quilt - I'm not meticulous enough for a proper pattern but making it up as I go along sounds good to me! Your quilt is very pretty as is the zzzzing mog on the top :)

Look at all that beautiful fabric in that quilt. I like the shabby scrappy look. Love the baby on top of the blanket. Cats, they are so like that!

ReplyDeleteSuper quilt. Take care, it's Thursday now so I'm late but I can never get through the list in one go! Love Zo xx 75
ReplyDeleteYou are all inspiring me to get my attempts at patchwork out. I have several blocks of motifs all sewn together and then stuffed back into a tin. Not sure what I am going to make with them, but maybe I will get them out and see if ideas come. Yours must be very special to attract a visitor so quickly. Have a good week. xx Maggie #2
