Farmhouse finished

Today I just wanted to share with you my Farmhouse quilt

it is all finished at last, and I quilted it myself. 

This is a close up at the back where you can see my quilting,

 not perfect but finished.

Today I received this lovely "siggy" from Chris in The Netherlands.

And I prepared some "siggy" blocks 

to be ready for a future swap.

I can see a little top, when I look at this picture

maybe I should turn this into a small quilt!!!!!

Until next time,

enjoy your stitching.

Basting

The Farmhouse quilt is being basted.

I use Sharon's Schamber's  technique. 

She used to have a free class on her website, but I'm sorry to say, not any longer.

Quilting is easy with this basting, you don't have to start in the middle, just start at the top or the bottom, or just where ever you want.

 I have used this technique many times and it is perfect.

No crawling on four feet on the floor.

Sweet Nostalgia, November is done.

It will be nice to work on December block now,

sipping good cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake.

Until next time, 

Happy stitching,

Paula

Farmhouse Quilt

Now the strips have turned into houses, 

I'm machine appliqué this quilt with raw ends.

It is fun but I wonder how it will last.

Can anyone tell me?

I use "Lite Steam-A-Seam2".

12 houses are done, 

now I will have to work on the blocks in between.

My third block for "Sweet Nostalgia" was September block "Back to School".

I want to share with you a link to Edyta's video,

where she shows her fantastic quilt small/big bag

Have a look at this:

Bag/purse

You can find the pattern at her blog if you scroll down.

Until next time

Happy stitching
