I've been making some pillow shams to match the commission quilt I made recently. They aren't quite done yet, but they are getting close.
I paper pieced these half rectangles, so some of the seams were a bit thick. So thick, that I didn't just break this needle, I shattered it.
So much for titanium. Ah, these things happen sometimes. Onward!
But wait! There's more! In keeping with my whole "work on what you feel like" thing, I started another small quilt project that I've really been looking forward to, and here are a few teaser shots.
This Wednesday...
Completed Projects:
- Commission quilt - a while ago.
- Doll Quilt for DQS14
- Star of Africa Bee - 3 blocks to do
- Blocks - zip, zero, nada, none. As soon as I have some to share, I will resume Building Blocks Tuesday
- Whatever I feel like, when I feel like, which may or may not include:
- pillow shams
- Circle of Geese small quilt project above
As always, thanks for reading,
Jen

ReplyDeleteOh dear, poor needle!!! The fmq is fab, well done, and the purple is looking stunning, can't wait to see it !
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilting Jen, and your Circle of Geese project looks lovely already! Looks like you should be wearing protective goggles when quilting if that is what happens to your needles :)
