Ahh much better!

I wasn't completely happy with the Marina Bay Bridge quilt.  I had finished it using the "escape hatch" method and it just didnt quite look right.  Guess that is what you get when you are just pushing to get something finished without thinking it through properly.

Last night was spent unpicking....and lamenting the use of the transparent thread! 

Adding a black border with a red line of stitching was just what this quilt needed.

Note for next time....listen to those people around you that say it needs a black  border with a thin red edging! 

Now to update the photos on my etsy page too.....

The Bridge - It's finished!

Yeah! today I finally finished my Bridge quilt.  I am hoping that you can see that it is a bridge - (Marina Bay Bridge in Singapore).

Here is the original photo

Not sure if I will frame it or not....Hmm need to thing about it

Did I mention how happy I was that it was finished?!

Day 2 Quilting

I had another day of working on my quilt today...two days in a row is something that rarely happens. Did make some progress on my quilt today but it still doesn't look like much.

working with a limited palette should have made it easier (or so I thought) but it has really been a lot harder than first thought. I seem to have been pulling more pieces off than on today and the red just seems to jump off the page.

Here's hoping that once the centre pieces are done that it will actually look like something. Hmmm I need to think about this one for a while. No time for quilting tomorrow.....I guess my family will want some food in the cupboards!

Happy quilting

big red red blobs?

Today I spent the day working on my new quilt. Ahhh it was lovely quilting again. I havent had much time for that lately. Here is a photo of my progress so far........

Can you guess what it's supposed to be? Hmmm. Maybe it really does look like a bunch of red blobs ( like my daughter thinks)

Watch this space.....
