Time flies, I can’t believe I have neglected my blog for so long. I have been busy piecing a few (quite a few) quilt tops and have kept up to date with the Longarming! I tore up my knee last summer and have not been able to play pickleball, my favourite sport, which has given me a lot of time to play in the studio. Every time I post (rarely), I tell myself I will share more often.
That being said, I planned to share these two quilts for ages. Andrea pieced this two quilts and I lusted after them immediately. I even have the fabric set aside to make one for myself. These were made from a Carolyn Friedlander pattern called Hunt.




I hope you can see some of the quilting on this dark background, it was freehand straight lines. a year later Andrea made this next one as a wedding gift.




Andrea requested an organic “rock” fill for the background of the quilt. The picture below shows the quilting from the back, yes I stitched in the ditch around each wedge. If you like hand stitching, I highly recommend this easy to appliqué shape.

Stay healthy and well, I hope to take a small part in finishing some of your beautiful projects.
Beautiful x2!! Bravo to Andrea and you.

Hi Sandy I’m so sorry about your knee. I was thinking of you the other day. Did you also have a hand operation? Otherwise hope all is well with you. I have many unfinished items that will need you soon. Cheers Jan

Yes to the hand — which is working well. My knee is a torn meniscus so I am hoping for a quick recovery — can’t wait to see what you bring

What is the story on those emery board-shaped wedges? I assume they are appliqued. How are they cut?

The designer Carolyn Freidlander sells an acrylic template to cut them. but I imagine it wouldn’t be difficult to make your own from Template Plastic

This unusual pattern is perfect for those who enjoy slow stitching. I love how you enhanced it with the pebble quilting.
