Dr Who - addictive!!

Well now..........what to do now Dear Jane is finished?

I have completed 2 more blocks from the Dr Who Along.

For those 'Whovians' out there you will be familiar with these characters. I have to do a bit of internet surfing each time I have to do one of these blocks and I am learning a lot about Dr Who I didn't remember from the 70's and 80's..........

Block 2 - Time Lord

Block 3 - K-9

I must say I am getting so into this whole thing I might have to go out and buy the latest Dr Who series on DVD!!!!

Liberty Blue Jane top completed!!!!!

Well here it is 17th June and I have achieved my goal before the end of June!!!! Yes, the Liberty Blue Dear Jane quilt top is completed!!!! The first square, A-5 - Cathie's Campfire, was completed on 5th April 2011, and I finished the embroidery on the Bottom Right Corner last night, 16th June 2013.

The journey however does not end here as once I have decided on a backing fabric I will have to baste and then hand quilt it! That could take me another 2 years or so!!!

If anyone has any ideas on what fabric to use for the backing I would appreciate it, although I should probably use 'Liberty'. I am assuming 2 widths should be enough.

Around the world update

Things have started to slow down with this Around The World Quilt Bee II.

It is very frustrating as some blocks have stalled completely while others are whizzing around the world and not far from returning home....

This lovely quilt is for Lynne, who asked that her blocks all stay within the same colour family. Her starter block had the frog face in the centre, so I decided to play on that with the toes in the bottom sections!!

Diane's quilt is chasing the stars, so I decided to try the Lone Star paper pieced block. It was fun to make and I love all her blocks together. It will be an awesome quilt!!

Dr.Who.Along

Well..............as if I have not enough sewing projects on the go, I couldn't resist joining in this one!!!

Having learnt the art of paper piecing in the process of doing my Dear Jane quilt, I thought it would be fun to try paper piecing something different! On Flickr, I was invited to join in the 'Dr.Who.Along' Each 2 weeks a paper pieced 'Dr Who' themed block pattern is posted and everyone involved makes their version and uploads a photo to share with the group. (Link to it on the button on right hand side of my blog) Here is the first block - Tardis.

Was fun to make!!!
