MORE LITTLE BLOCKS

The first one is a Dear Jane block D-3 Jason’s Jacks.

The next 2 are from the Inklingo Sampler and have been made using the Inklingo collections 1 and 2.

A couple of wips bite the dust :)

Here are a couple little projects just finished.   The one block Mariner’s Compass is the result of a workshop I attended a few months back.  I decided to kill two birds with one stone and make it into the small wall hanging  my DS asked for to hang up in his abode.  The initials stand for Fort Lewis…

The second little hanging is a small challenge for the end of year exhibition of works of the workshop I got to once a month.  The challenge is either Silver and Gold OR Herring and Whisky.  In honour of Scotland’s year of the Homecoming this year.   Anyway, I decided to do the whole lot.  I have used the Tumbler Collection from Inklingo to do the tumbler block background and fish body and appliquéd the head, fin and tail which are slightly stuffed.   I used a bead for the eye and did both stitch in the ditch straight machine quilting and a little free machine quilting for the bubbles and body scales on the fish.   It looks a bit lop sided in the photo but it is in reality square.  Honest :)))

More sampler blocks done

This past week I’ve been busy trying to catch up on a few things.  I know it’s a pipe dream but one day I’ll be totally caught up with all my WIPs, LOL… okay I can dream right? 

Anyway, I thought you may like to see a few pictures of what I’ve been up to so here are a couple of blocks to share.    2 Inklingo blocks.  One 6 inch square and the other a hexagon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also!!!  For the first time in a long time I made a Dear Jane block!   Bringing my number of blocks to 55, still with 6 triangles and 1 corner done.   Here is my newly made block for you to see.

Right! Now I’m going back to the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt that I’m trying to get caught up on before the final instalment is out in the next Quilt Maker magazine.  So off to do a heap of chain piecing :))  Have a lovely Sunday.

INKLINGO SAMPLER

Here are three more blocks that I’ve completed over the past week. They will go into 3 different quilts.

I have completed another hexagon today and have another of the ‘odd’ size blocks ready for piecing. This weekend, however, I’m hoping to work on my Basket Case Quilters blocks :) and catch up with those.

Last weekend I completed another of the Sunbonnet Sue blocks. Here she is, she is September’s Sue.

Here are my hexagon Inklingo sampler blocks so far.

I’m loving doing these, they are a lot easier than they look, seriously!

I also made another regular shape block last week. Here it is :-

This is a Dutchman’s Puzzle variation. Those flying geese are so easy and quick with Inklingo.

OOOpsy, I’ve missed posting a block… another of the Inklingo sampler blocks and here it is:-

 

Finally something that’s not part of the Sampler but Inklingo related is my very first POTC (Patchwork of the Crosses from the quilt made by Lucy Boston) Made so easy using the Inklingo collection for this quilt. No templates to make, just print the sewing lines on the back of the fabric, cut out and sew. Easy Peasey lemon squeezy!! Here it is:-

The centre was fussy cut to give the kaleidoscope look. To select the part of a fabric that will give a good kaleidoscope look I use a couple of small mirrors and place them at right angles on the fabric in various spots. When I find a look I like then I check to see if there are 4 repeats of that spot to use.

Just experimenting with my new laptop which has Vista installed. It has this facility to write to my blog from my desktop.

Here are the latest 4 of the Inklingo Sampler blocks that I’ve done over the past few weeks. I still have a few of the bonus blocks to do but will get to them soon. :)
