Back at it... WILL finish in 2016

I still LOVE this quilt. I just can't get it off my mind. I am determined to get it finished in 2016. I did finish one long side last week and have begun to work on the middle section. Honestly, I dreaded this center section the most - I do NOT like doing satin stitches and this section has tons of those satin-stitched berries! I was able to get quite a bit done last night though so maybe I can work through this center section quickly.

I do need advise on marking the embroidery. I am using a water soluble pen and I don't like it. I am having problems making all the blue disappear on my finished piece - which I knew I would since I let it sit there for a year traced. That's a problem I created - but I will get it out. I know Leanne uses a fine point marker - I'm honestly scared I will not trace it well and you will be able to see it through the stitching. What does everyone use to trace?

One long section DONE

My one lone corner section - note the date!

The center section is started - darn those blue berries!

Vignette is finished

It is hard to believe but after about 4 years this quilt is completely finished! Vignette is bound and labelled! Whew!

Vignette is quilted.

On Monday I went to pick up my quilts, Vignette and In my Garden, from my very talented quilter, Robyn of Plain and Fancy. I had chosen thread colours but really couldn't imagine how she was going to quilt them so left it up to her! She had done the most amazing job of both of them. I am so thrilled with them as the quilting has added so much to the quilts. You can click on the photos to make them bigger if you want to see the detail.
Here is Vignette.....almost finished other than for the binding.

Can't believe that I have made it!!!!! Just the binding and label to do. I have stitched a label ready to go on this quilt.

Happy stitching

Sylvia

The top is done!

Finally....after some slow piecing, the vignette quilt top is finished. It has been three years in the making so it feels very good to get it to this stage.

Finally....almost there

In between packing and minding lovely little men I have had a little time to stitch and am so pleased to have Vignette almost done! I put the little squares border on the centre block and then was able to put the first 3 rows together. The bottom row still needs the patchwork outer edge so that will have to wait till I get back from teaching on the cruise....starting tomorrow. Here it is. Can't wait till this one is finished. It is a lovely quilt but it has been a lot of work and I lost my motivation for a while. I haven't allowed myself to start any other BOMs (and I have a few in mind) till this and a few others are done!

Finally ....some progress

 After a long break, I finally put together the last piece of stitching for the Vignette quilt. I have left this quilt 3/4 done and haven't had time or the inclination to continue till now. There is still plenty of patchwork that needs doing but at least I am back working on the quilt.

Mrs.Beasley´s Block #1

My first block,so much fun - but also a lot of job.....

I have used water soluble paper inside my appliques , loving it!And glue pen .

Berit in Storsteinnes

We had a visit of Leanne and Gail here at our shop in Northern Norway a few years ago

- where they got to enjoy some new snow falling in her hair later in the evening:))

Mrs Beasley's Sampler

I have finished block one and being I am still not a huge fan of Needleturn Applique

 I have decided to omit some and replace with stitchery.

Here is a closer look of the mini blocks

 

I still need to add something under the word Family 

but will wait to see what else is on the quilt before doing so.

Mrs Beasley's Sampler Quilt fabrics

Vignette Magazine arrived in Holland last week, and I immediately caved when I saw block 1 of Mrs Beasley's Sampler Quilt.

I raided my stash, and paid a quick visit to my favourite quilt store to add a few FQ's to the collection. More will be added as I go along.

I spent all evening yesterday cutting all my pieces and pinning them to a scan/print of the pattern. Now I need to choose my threads :o)

Is anyone else working on this project?

It's FINISHED! Whoop whoop!

My Vignette quilt is 100% finished.  It even has a sleeve on it so that it's ready for the next local quilt show.

Here's my blog post with the recap:  http://quiltingismything.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/fabric-vomit-aka-vignette-in-100-completed/

It's been great watching everyone's progress and even though I'm finished, I'll still be checking in to see everyone's amazing work.

Cheers-
Kris

Mrs Beasley's Sampler

I've just been to my LQS and picked up this :o)

I have to go and do Kinder Duty this afternoon 

but knowing these are sitting on my cutting table waiting for me 

when I get home makes me happy.

Thank you Leanne, I am in love with this one already.

Who else is going to be stitching this one?

I am looking forward to everyone sharing their progress, both

Vignette update

Here is the lower half of the Vignette centre with all the dots stitched! It takes a while but worth it.... I think.

Have you seen this sneak peak ...

 

 

... it has a little information on  the next BOM starting in Issue 10.

 

There have been a few sneak peaks over on Leanne's Blog and a few on Leanne's  facebook page ... and I have to say, it looks lovely and I am looking forward to starting to stitch this one.

 

If you would like to know more please contact me and I will be able to help.

 

Also, a big contratulations to Sharon for finishing her 'Vignette in Stitches' Quilt.

Applique done

 I have completed the applique on the second half of the centre of Vignette. Now to do all those little satin stitch dots!

A little more progress

 I have been working on my needleturn applique on the two other centre blocks. It is time consuming but is coming along well.

A little progress

 Finally felt a little motivated to work on my large ongoing projects and put together the other centre piece for the Vignette quilt. I have decided to just do little bits at a time but try and work on each UFO at least a little each month. Eventually they should then get finished. I feel quite motivated to start the applique now!

Very exciting to see some tops all done! Well done girls. I might get there ONE day.
