A Sewing Day

Last Friday my friend Yvonne came for the day to sew 🙂 I managed to get the binding done on Daniel’s quilt! Yay!
I did it on the machine with a herringbone stitch. I thought it would be quicker, but in the end it turned out to be very fiddly. Over the past few days I tied the rest of the quilt, and now it is done :
I also worked on my disappearing nine patch quilt and did 10 nine patches. I still need to make them disappear…
When I got my ironing board out to use for the day, it got caught on something sharp and ripped:
It really need replacing a long time ago, but I’ve been putting it off – one of those fiddly jobs that takes me away from my quilting! When it ripped I decided I’d better make a new one right away. I used the binding and string from the old one (unpicked it) and then sewed it to the new fabric:
So two projects done for the July already!! Yay! Now I need to work on some boms… especially stitcheries, I am getting behind on them.
While I worked on the above projects, Yvonne was busy with this most gorgeous quilt:
It’s called Snowflake Medallion, and it’s from a class at Ballarat Patchwork. I am very tempted to take the same class one day if they offer it again. I haven’t done real applique, so it would be good for me. Here are some close ups:
Isn’t it just beautiful?!
Well, that’s all folks. Better get back to school 🙂
Nice ironing board cover Joy – I love the fabric. Daniel's quilt looks lovely. It seems you may have found some more inspiration from our sewing day together:) I hope it continues for you. See you again soon 🙂

Is Yvonne's quilt needle turn applique? It's just stunning and I've decided I love doing needle turn!
I think so, is it Yvonne? I want to learn!!! Now I have a good idea, instead of going to the class, I'll just get the fabric and Yvonne can teach me – right?
Yes the applique is needle turn. I would love to teach you Joy. They have just patterns, patterns and fabric kits, and/or classes at Ballarat Patchwork – just check it out on their web site.
Daniel's quilt turned out great…now that I have seen your ironing board cover, mine could really use a new one…Yvonne's quilt is beautiful…
