A finish and some more quilting...

As you know I have been busy quilting since I completed the wedding dresses. 
I've been working a simple clamshell design on to my Ready Set Sew quilt top that I purchased as a kit from Jude last year.
The quilting is complete, the binding is on and closed and I went outside yesterday for a garden photo shoot.
Then I spotted the mistake! A few naughty words were uttered. Too late, it will have to stay that way.
I had fun taking photos over the fence and the deck rail.
On Joe's bench.
And of course Old Man Tree had to get involved.
He is flowering and scattering blossoms on the lawn. Those are not daisies. LOL
Goal #1 for November complete.
Not a goal for November but making great progress anyway is Flutterbys.
This was a panel that I quickly added borders to back in September.
I loaded it on to the frame yesterday and got started.
My studio was the place to be. The sun was in and out so it's wasn't terribly hot, but I was surrounded by nature, birds, bees and butterflies kept catching my eye as I worked.
I even found the perfect panto at Urban Elementz.
It's called Take Flight.
I am just over half way with the quilting on this one and was hoping to complete it today, but life, the dentist and a meeting at work got in the way.
I was able to get a few of my Windswept blocks made though. The pile is getting higher.

If you look at the tabs along the top of the page you will see that I have made a start on next years Chookshed Challenge.  Just a start and subject to change of course.

That's it, that is all of my news for now.
Back to work tomorrow.

Lovely finish and surely that mistake - which I couldn't spot - is a design feature! Pretty quilting design on your panel. xx

Great finish on Jude’s quilt . I enlarged the pic but I can’t find your mistake.
Perfect quilt pattern for the quilt you’re working on.

Thanks Lou, what a good idea to start the list for 2025 now. I've got things scribbled but that is all. I will leave your mistake un-noticed because I love both the clamshell design and the butterfly design.

Jenny said...

Good on you, I've checked your new list, and theres plenty of challenges for next year.

Janice said...

You shouldn’t have told us about the mistake and we wouldn’t have known. The next quilt is cute too. My initial thoughts for next year’s challenge are only on paper and have already changed a couple of times. I have to come up with things that are achievable and have no deadline, in case they don’t come up for several months.

Okay, I don't see the mistake. Looks great to me--I love the color of the border. Flutterbys is so cute!

Never ever point out mistakes! You are the only one who notices! The scallop quilting on those squares is perfect.

I'm way behind reading blogs -that quilt looks lovely - and you need to look to find the boo boo - have you thought to applique some pieces over the wrong blocks?
