A Finish for Declyn

 

At last I can finally say that all my children have a quilt made

by me especially for them.

 

Please allow me to share Declyn's Quilt

 

"Urban Grunge"

 

 

Quilt Stats

Urban Grunge designed by

Jocelyn Ueng "It's Sew Emma"

Finished size

50.5" x 59.5"

(Woops this picture was taken before the label went on)

 

I do love a pieced back but I do not like getting it all ready to baste

as there is that extra pressure of getting the back straight and even.

 

It took Declyn (yes I have trained him so well that he is now my No. 1

helper when it comes to spray basting a quilt) and myself a little

longer than normal but we are both happy with the end result

and even placement.

 

If you remember this Kit was purchased from the Fat Quarter Shop and the

back has been pieced from the "scraps" left over.  Love the FQ Shop .... just saying :)

 

I started quilting this one last Wednesday. My little helper hadn't been feeling well

that day and had not really left my side.  Here is the proof. 

She decided she wanted to help me add the special ingredient

for any quilt ... L O V E

 

 

We quilted it with an all over meander / stipple.

 

 

I finished the label for it yesterday and put it on Dec's bed for him ;o)

 

Feels nice to have a finish :o)

Enjoy your day,

hugs, Sharon

Saturday Snippets & Something New

I decided this year that the "Special Baking" is not going to

be reserved for Christmas Day so today I made

some yummy Vanilla Cup Cakes with Vanilla Icing,

Snow (shredded coconut) and Christmas themed Toppers.

Then decided to make some Almond Bread.
Christine posted the recipe on her BLOG
I went the "cheats" way and steamed my Almonds so
that I could get it made in one day and Yummo!
Thank you Christine, I will definitely be making it again :o)

Later in the afternoon I decided that I needed to rectify the problem
of one of my children not having a quilt made by me. 
So the journey of Declyn's Quilt has begun.

"Urban Grunge"

 

 

I am learning pretty quickly that this is not necessarily an easy pattern

 

 

1/4" out  .... arghhh

off now to get friendly with my quick unpick.

Oh, and just to confirm again that the FQ Shop are great with the
fabric in their kits.  In the picture below, the fabric at the top is the "Scraps"
and the Fabric rectangles at the bottom are what I need for the quilt.

Looks like Declyn will be getting a cushion or two as well or maybe a pieced back :o)

Have a great day, Hugs Sharon
