WIP's

The problem with being a hand quilter is that there is always a quilt top waiting to be worked on. I am continuing my French General love affair, so thought I should pull out the top I made with precuts and get on with quilting it. Just quilting around the appliqué and along the borders, so it shouldn't take too long.

I finished the birdbath block of In Full Bloom. The last month has arrived, so only a couple more stitcheries to do before putting it all together.


Off to make some biscuits and caramel slice, then I'm going to ignore some pesky house jobs, and sew for the afternoon.

Hope you're having a lovely day, and keeping cool or warm, depending on where you are.

  9. Freat selection of fabrics. French General seems one of those labels that crosses all styles of fabric designs and is universally loved. You have chosen a lovely pattern to showcase the fabrics. I agree with Marina, wonderful little stitching.

  10. It is absolutely beautiful Susan. Your applique stitches are amazing, how do you get them to be invisible? I have temporarily given up on needleturn as I was making such a mess of it. Your quilting is looking wonderful too....
