Badwolf



Here is the next in the Dr Who series!! Brick or pavement fabric would have no doubt been a better idea for the background, but the cosmic fabric I ordered from the US had just arrived and I was dying to use it. I am happy with the result!!

Dr Who again!!


Here is the fourth block in the Dr.Who.Along. The SS Madame de Pompadour. I have made a couple of slip ups with my colours in the paper piecing process but not really keen to do it all again!!!
I have just bought 3 metres of space like fabric in different styles to use for this bee, so look out for more of these fun blocks.............
Cheers!
Julianne.

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.
