Another one quilted, bound and Finished.

Yesterday I continued and completed the quilting of the Op Shop Top.

Well, it's not a top any more, now it is a quilt. 

I was running out of lovely warm sunshine and my wee glass box of a room was beginning to cool down, but as you can see I was very close to being done so I carried on to the end.

My other sewing  room, at the other side of the house was by now bathed in sunshine and had warmed up nicely, so as soon as it came off the frame, I went in there to trim it and add the binding.

It was dark by the time I had closed the binding by hand, so I just laid it quickly on the floor for a quick photo.

I took it outside in the frost this morning for another outdoor photo shoot, but before we do that, here are some details. The quilting design is a freebie from Urban elementz  (I'm not affiliated, just like the design).

I had to do a little resizing, to make it small enough to work with my little machine.

Here you can see it on the quilt top.

But you can see it better on the backing fabric.

The blocks, and backing fabric for this one came from an op shop, the only fabric that came from stash was the blue for the corner stones and the odd pieces in the centre nine patch.

The batting is two large off cuts that I sewed together and the quilting thread is left over from another project. So on the whole, a very cheap quilt to make.

Now, time to go outside and shiver with me.

It was still below zero when I went outside this morning, but the sun was on her way.

Firstly on the deck, my rocking chair, right outside my quilting room.

While I was there I spotted a corner of the deck and wondered how that would look.

Then I climbed up on to the lawn to drape my quilt in to old man tree.

There are other trees on the property, but none of them are quite as good looking as this fellow.

I snapped a couple of pictures and like them both, so you get to see them both.

And one last shot before I ran back inside and into the warmth.

Old man tree, even in winter with no leaves he is a beauty, I love the shape.

And one final picture.

Her floofiness helping me with a snuggle test of Something Floral.

I don't think she wanted her picture taken....

Right, time to go and find something to do.
