show & tell on the Peninsula

It's been awhile, but I finally remembered to take my camera when my friend Glenys & I had our weekly catchup. She has been sewing on & off over the past few months, but like most of us, it's all in-between family & friends, and other life stuff. Here's what's been happening in her sewing room.

First up, her plaid quilt. She chose pink & gold with splashes of green as her colour combo. She had it professionally quilted, with a vintage sheet for backing and a yummy Kaffe stripe for binding. Have a peek . . . 

And her 'coming up roses' quilt is all finished too. It's an early pattern by Sarah Fiekle from the 'material obsession quilt two' book. Glenys started this way back when, tucked it away, then dragged it out recently. Much to her delight, she had actually pieced ALL the 36patch blocks, had the Kaffe border all there ready & waiting, and it was simply a matter of getting it all sewn up together. She had it professionally machine quilted as it's quite large, 285cm {112"} square. 

Scrappy, beautiful border, lots of stripes, what's not to love 💕 

And finally, do you still buy quilting magazines? I haven't for quite a few years now, so I was very surprised when Glenys suggested we go halves in the latest digital issue of Make Modern. And I must say, there were a lot of tempting ideas tucked away in there, like the "One Ways" quilt by Heather Black. It's an easy fun triangle sampler quilt that she & I are both working quietly on in our own little sew-along, here's a collage of her progress …

et moi?

no sewing here this weekend, but still dreaming in colour 🌈
