Homage to Kaffe
magikquilter September 14th, 2008
A little bit of knitting has been undertaken this week on the first strip of my Homage to Kaffe strippy afghan. This shall require lots ..as in possibly hundreds of different kinds of eight ply wool so is a full on challenge and also a joy!
Below is also a sneak peak at my latest patchwork WIP done in Kaffe’s fabrics
Lacy Friends Wip
magikquilter August 29th, 2008
This little cot quilt is taking forever as I decided to hand stitch it. Judi mentioned that it is satisfying to do so and it is actually although I should know better than to hand sew more than one thing at a time! I have started catching the points of the lace down as I do not want babies to catch their titsy little fingers in the lacy holes!
Shabby Blues WIP
magikquilter August 24th, 2008
Almost ready to sandwich this quilt top together ….am only working on quilting three others at present. Two cot sized baby ones and a lap quilt sized geisha quilt. This is the one I used as a tablecloth on the Friday with Friends…. Kaylee post.
Update: 29/08/08 I bought some batting today and I have the backing so almost ready to quilt it!
Pansies and Roses WIPs
magikquilter August 18th, 2008
Another two wips which I intend to turn into small tablecloths to use for my afternoon teas and coffees and presentation photography. The pansy one looks a treat with my new pansy serving ware which I found for 90% off in Myer in the winter sale. Both use as the centre strip different Laura Ashley fabric found at a charity shop. So this is sustanable as well as pretty!
Splendor in the bedroom WIP
magikquilter August 7th, 2008
Been sewing madly since I bought my geisha figures. I am trying to incorporate all the colours of the geisha into a quilt top using some of the many geisha fabric I have collected over the past year. Its a little trickier than usual as I would not normally use blue with the purple and red and gold which is predominant in the geisha fabric. Have sewn five strips together out of seven and then just the contrast strips to go on top and bottom and then will have a better idea of if it is working. Stay tuned.
