We were going to have a picnic with our son and family but the weather is overcast and windy so I guess our picnic will be inside.

Hello again ... Still in bed and enjoying the peacefulness of a slow start. Contemplating my next project ....whatever it is. I still have two quilts to complete for grandie's' birthdays - one in March and another in May - but they are well on the way. The five Christmas quilts I gave yesterday were well received. The reactions were worthwhile.

have any of you ladies hear of the brother dream weaver machine. I want to buy one but need some input first

carolev - 2013-12-27 21:31:00
46274

No haven't heard of that one. I have the brother innovis 1200 & have no trouble with it. It goes like a dream. Also has all the attachments for quilting so covers all bases. Good luck in your search

velia3 - 2013-12-27 22:40:00

I have the innovis 1250D and the 200 but this one has all the bells and wisals

I have spent a fair bit of the Xmas break making this for a friend's first grandchild due in March. I, as usual, acquired the panel and the polarfleece backing from op shops and used lots of jelly roll strips for the border (given to me by my quilter sister). I have almost finished quilting it, some wavy lines, some ¼" outlines, the main part where the pink is with the little spotsis now finished with lots of different sized circles which I marked by using pot lids, cups, eggcups etc. to get a range of sizes. I'm not sure what I want to do with the cat and balloon section - maybe attempt some free motion squiggles! I'm not keen on outlining anything in this section as there are no clear breaks, the balloons overlap other balloons and also the cats. My machine quilting is a little slow going but I am happy with the results. Any simple suggestions oh fellow quilters?

It is absolutely gorgeous. Love the border. I am sure they will be thrilled with it. What is your next project?
This afternoon I have been handstitching on a small border to my hexagon quilt and then I will machine on a larger border. I love the hand stitching.

ffloss - 2013-12-28 15:27:00

I love binding quilts by hand because it means I am nearly finished and get to see the final result.

The border on this doesn't quite show that it is a little too bright (in my opinion) and it wasn't until I had sewn all the strips and was pressing them that I realised that the 'wrong' side of the fabric strips was a much better match. Ah well, the recipient will not judge! I have enjoyed doing this little baby quilt as it's done fairly quickly.

As for my next project, I have UFOs that need dealing to. I am off work til the 13th so should be able to make some inroads.

Love the quilt Holly - and your helper. I have one like that too .... Doesn't matter how much is going in in the sewing room, she always chooses to sit on the piece I am working on.
Today I made a pet bed - one that they can tunnel into. Very easy to make and I am quite pleased with it. I made it for the cats but guess who "stole" it
