This is nearly the last day of August, so it is high time to show you my finished project..... I liked the idea od the quilllow so much I made one more.... One for my B to ba able to travel with it... My B likes spiders and I like Halloween and orange, so this fabric was the best one I found in the shop. I used simple black with it.
This time I was a good girl and used Evi teacher's Bento box technique without changing everything. I wanted to finish it in the camp but unfortunately I couldn't (I would have needed one more night).
The best part (the one I enjoyed the most) was the quilting part. I decided to use spider webs and found an orange thread (silky bright). It was fun. I started with the pillow part then quilted the huge spider webs. Finally I quilted some spiders with black thread to the Bento box blocks.
My B was happy with it and I think it suits him very much.
I really hope you like it, too.
In the camp we made a key-holder with Beugrólány. We had a pattern (which I changed of course) of a street.... I designed the little houses and appliqued them with machine I used some embroidery, too. I used free machine stitches on the bottom (the street)... We bought the frame and painted it...
We had the 'wire' which we made into holders....
Here is mine ( I really have to learn how to take good pics....):
I spent a wonderful week in Karcag with half of our topic, too.... In the fisrt part of the camp teacher Evi forced us to make a quilllow..... I have told you several times that I am not for making quilts.... not at all..... But this is a great idea, it seemed funny for me.... So, here you are: my first quilt!!!! (and luckily I managed to finish it in July so this can be the July project.....sorry for the long break, I had no pic than no time to complete this post....)
It should have been a Bento Box quilt but as usual I changed things a bit to make something unique, so I simply designed the quilt in a different way.... I know it would have been easier to sew this pattern with the log cabin technique but I wanted to learn at least the way of Evi's project so I used the Bento Box technique....
I used two yellows as the shop ran out of the one I wanted, plus the green (a very tricky one, I had some problems with that fabric) and a cheap IKEA yellow for the background.
As usual I quilted in with Evi's Bernina and I free stitched it... That was fun, you know, just drawing with the machine... I really enjoyed it, but for the arms it was like being in a gym.... But I am sure you all know it...
This picture was taken in Karceg when we tried the block orders.... Evi taught a method which made our life easier.... We put all the blocks on the floor and took a picture with a digital camera of them then looked at the 'quilt' on the camera.... Looking at a small pic was a good idea, we could make decisions easily... So here is mine:
As I mentioned before I am a slow sewer so I could finish the quilt but I could sew the pillow part only on the train....
Here is my quilllow in quilt form at home:
And here is my quillow in the pillow form:
The colours are quite different in the pics, the first one is the closest...
Just back from the patchwork camp which was awesome and the guildmeeting (at lake Balaton this year) which was hilarious!!!!!
Happy and a bit tired.....
Nothing much happaned in the last week, but before that I started a lot of things (in the pw camp in Karcag) but finished only one..... Now it is time for finishing them before they become UFOs forever...
I still have no pic about the July finished object but coming soon...:)
This was a small something which I made..... I got this T-shirt from a colleague and te fabric was too thin (transparent a bit)... so I decided to draw on it a bit with my sewing machine....
Here is the result...:
