The local gallery run by the regional arts group is an ideal place to put two tables together and pin quilts and today it was a hive of activity. Watercolour painting, spinning, sewing happy pants and lots of chatter. The quilt above is another scrap quilt which has been foundation pieced.
I also had time to pin another baby/cot quilt. I like to have a couple quilted and on hand as they make fantastic baby shower presents. This 'owl themed' quilt is made using an ABC panel and I tried out a new setting. I think it will come up looking good when quilted.
One of the ladies had brought in 4 panels which she was going to cut up and use to make happy pants. As soon as I saw this one, I told her 'No, you can't cut them up', I want to quilt this one' LOL When we explained what we could do with them, she got excited and thought it would be a great idea to have them quilted and she could either hang them as wall hangings or join them together to make a bed quilt. I came home with two and have pinned this one ready for quilting and then embellishment.
I had this nice piece of fabric that I used for the backing.
Happy quilting !!
