Official Pictures

I haven't made the official pictures of Junior's quilt yet, so between the rain showers I let him hold it himself . G.

Junior's Quilt Is Finished!

About a year ago, Junior saw a picture in a magazine of a quilt he liked. The top was made quickly enough, but I was rather dreading the quilting... Then our guru A. helped me find a pattern for quilting. (all straight lines, as easy as possible). And I was surprised that I was able to finish the quilt in 10 evenings. Now I have found the courage to start quilting Big Sister's quilt too, which has been in a box for much too long... G.

I am very happy with the backing fabric (also a choice of Junior himself). I hate myself for buying so little of it, it was a lot of pulling and tucking to get it to fit.

Final Version

After an hour of moving the blocks around, Junior decided this would be the final version. The blocks on the right are the same as those on the left, he wanted a kind of pattern in the quilt and in the middle he placed his favourite, the tiger print. G.

Wild Thing

The Pirates have roamed my living room for another evening, and this is the result:


Don't you just love these trilogies! These are the four blocks of the original quilt. All I have to do now is copy them twice and add a border, piece of cake. Hopefully part 4 of the Pirates will come soon! G.

Junior's Wild Animals

As the men were watching "Pirates of the Carribean" last night, I could finally get behind my sewingmachine again. Thank you, Captain Jack Sparrow! Here are the first eight blocks for Junior's wild animal quilt. I love the colour of the quilting thread you recommended, M. ! G.

Animal Prints

Today a parcel arrived from the US with three more animal prints in it for Junior's quilt. They turned out a bit darker than on the net, but fit great with the other fabrics. I can't wait to get started!

And I couldn't resist these "German farm boys" that go great with my other Dutch fabrics. G.

Junior Wants a Quilt!

This is just the best news of all. I've been trying to find a quilt-design my 12 year old son would like, but he threw out any idea I came up with, until..... I bought a "Burda"quilting magazine in Horst and he wanted this quilt:

So now I'll have to start looking for animal prints! G.
