By george i think ive done it !!!!




It's finished finally. just in time too as i am giving it to my sister inlaw for her new house in october when i go down to BRISBANE (QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA) to the big quilt and craft show . Im so excited to be going finally to my first show.
well anyway this dresden fan took me a while to complete.
i got the top fininshed in 3 weeks the fans where hand appliqued onto the muslin blocks. the part that took the longest was the machine quilting of the pinwheels up the sides of the outer borders and the echo quilting on the fan blocks, this takes for ever especially when it is only done on my little singer. Its not perfect but nothing i ever do is....
But i am more than happy with the way it has turned out i am proud of myself i just hope she likes it !!!
anyways heres some eye candy for you all .
thats all for now lol will more than likely finish another ufo before i start something new .

a little somethin somethin !



Here's a little some thing i made while i was away, it took me a day to do the mile a minute blocks and 2 hours to put the quilt top together, i have started quilting it in a pastel varigated thread, and hopefully by the end of the week it will be completed so i can then sell it so i can get a little money to fix my car
