Progress has been made...lots of photos

My friend Lorraine said "your blog's been a bit quiet lately."  Oh dear, she is right, I have been so busy concentrating on getting stuff done, that the energy required for posting has not been there.

On top of all that I keep forgetting to take photos of finished quilts!!!  Hate that.  Here are a few photos of what I have been up to lately.

These first three are from the Master Guild quilt shown held in Carterton last month.




This is the guest exhibitor - none other than said Lorraine Baker who commented on my lack of posting!  Revenge is sweet!   LOL

All joking aside, Lorraine's quilts are stunning and her hand quilting has won at international level.


This is one of a display from a class the guild had taken.  Very beautiful hydrangeas.  Amazing work.

I am onto the very last size of HST's required for this quilt.  Seems to have been a long time in the making, but good things come to those who wait.  So they say anyway.



In the meantime, because I had nothing to do (yeah right)  I decided to participate in the little quilt a long at Humble Quilts.  It is a mini quilt and I haven't really done any of these before.  The best thing was everything I have used is from my stash.








 This was my Mystery Quilt that I made from the quilt along run at From My Carolina Home.  Enjoyed it immensely and the quilt is now finished and is being gifted to a friend who is going through cancer treatment.  It has been signed by lots of people at our church and he will received it shortly.  Again forgot photo, but hope to get one of the finished quilt when given to him.



This is Noah's quilt.  He has become the big brother to two twin brothers.  I made the twins quilts so figured Noah should not miss out on the fun.



This quilt has also been gifted and no photo taken.  Hmm.  This came out so pretty.





This was one of my favourite quilts from the Master Guild show.  Just loved it.





In the making for lady who has had her house burnt down.  Beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabrics that generate warmth.
Loving making this very simple pattern.





The baby quilts for the twins.  One has boats and the other has fishes.  One has Seahorses, the other has Starfish.  The same but different, just like them.

















That's it for now, hope you enjoyed these photos.  Talk to you again sometime????

Big hugs and blessings
Clare

  3. Well Clare I don't think anyone can say that you have been quiet on this post. You've been busy on a few projects and it's so nice to see the Kaffe quilt up on the design wall, it looks splendid! Thanks for sharing the Hydrangeas from the Master Quilt Guild, the details is amazing, love the dark background they really stand out. The Red and white cross quilt is breathtaking, just amazing, I can't imagine the time involved in making those blocks. Into the bargain you have been busy with quilts for llittle ones, bet they're happy as with their quilts.
