Journey of a Quilter: Top Finished!! (170)

Hi everyone, okay final pics of the Journey of a Quilter Top – it’s finished and I’m so proud of it!!

and a close up of the middle…don’t you just love the silks and the stitching…

Here’s what you get in your finishing kit in your chosen colours: backing, binding and hanging sleeve fabric, silk quarters for your borders and matching thread, tape for layering your quilt, 300 safety pins for basting, Machine Quilting needles for your quilting needs….how does this sound?

If you’ve been interested in the Journey throughout these months but missed out on your chance to partake, I have one kit left that has the same colours as the finished top above…including finishing kit…for a special price, if you’re interested let me (valerie@pastimesonline.ca) know and we can make arrangements 🙂

Pies and Tarts Block of the Month (167)

Another block of the month club we will be running soon is Pies and Tarts by Sue Daley. This block of the month club is one of the ones I fell in love with (hmm I think I said that about all of them) and thought it would be a great way to master English Paper piecing and templates as well as use up some of that sash.

The collection I’m going to be using for this incredible project is Eclectic Garden  mixed with Jeval Dupioni Silks. The other goodies you’ll get in your kits are: silk pins, machine needles, acrylic and paper templates, step by step blog postings, videos and sew much more.

~mix in some of your stash to make it your own~

Truly Scrumptious by Cinderberry Stitches (164)

Another Block of the Month club that will be starting really soon is Truly Scrumptious by Cinderberry Stitches

This adorable whimsical stitchery plus patchwork creation will stitch up in a jiffy and it’s results will be well worth it. 9 month plus finishing kits.

The colours I’ve chosen for this cute block of the month are a combination of Gabrielle by Studio e Fabrics and Little Palm Paisley by Henry Glass Fabrics plus some Jeval Dupioni Silks for backgrounds and borders…
