Hand Quilt Along – 22/12/19

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to start by wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a great new year for 2020! This year has been trying as I lost my grandad and my great-uncle and my grandma is also facing health issues. But 2019 has also brought great joy with watching Clark grow into the cutest little boy and meeting new friends.

Now, onto the quilt along! I have actually been working on my English paper piecing quilt again and it is getting so close to the end!

This time

As you may be able to see, I only have a little bit on the side left to quilt and then I will be cutting the excess away and sewing the border on, yay!

Again, I hope you have a marvellous festive season!

Hand Quilt Along – 10/11/19

Hello everyone!

I’m a bit late again with my update, I started a new summer job last week (as there are no uni classes over summer) and it’s been pretty hectic! I’ve done a few more pages on Clark’s quiet book, and I thought I could share my Pinterest inspiration board as well 😀

I hope that I’ll be able to get some actually quilting done for next update! We have some new members as well this time, welcome Bella and Daisy, and welcome back Connie!

Hand Quilt Along – 20/10/19

Hello everyone!

Needless to say I have been shocking in the last months at blogging. September is always such a big month for us, between birthdays, the semester being in full swing (which lots of marking and long teaching days) and on top of all that I also had computer issues (my screen went completely dead and I had to have it replaced).

I also haven’t progressed very much on my quilt but I did some hand stitching that I still wanted to share with you. I have thought about making a quiet book for Clark for the longest time and I’ve started on a few pages. I would like to make one for each letter (eventually!). I have no order that I am going to follow, here are the first few that I have made.

Fingers crossed I don’t miss next instalment of the quilt along!

Hand Quilt Along – 18/08/19

Hello everyone!

I almost forgot but I didn’t! Here is my update on my english paper piecing and I have some progress yet again. It’s a bit hard to tell but I’ve added a lot on the sides so that most of the width is done.

I actually have been crafting a lot more recently too, I’m slowly but surely getting my crojo back and it sure feels good! I’ve been a lot more active on Instagram in the last few weeks and I’m planning on doing a big blog post soon with all my recent finishes.

I hope you’ve all been wonderful, and until next time!

Hand Quilt Along – 28/07/19

Hello everyone!

I am still there! I’m so sorry that I missed so many updates, but what can I say? Having an active little bub has been really crazy and doesn’t leave much time for sewing or for anything else. I have made some progress on my EPP though (in the last few months 😂) so here it is!

Since last time, I was able pin the layers together and it has helped a lot. I hope that everyone has been well and hopefully I’m able to make the next update!

Happy Sunday!

I’m happy to report I have done some sewing despite the love overload and interrupted nights I’m currently receiving from baby Clark. Which means that his EPP blanket top is getting closer and closer from being finished.

Hand Quilt Along – 5/08/18

Happy Sunday everyone!

It’s that time of the month again when we share our progress on our hand quilt along. I’ve been working a lot on my EPP and I’m past half way, yay! I knew all that extra planning from last time would pay off. The top is now at full height as well, so it’s “just” a matter of filling in the space 🙂

Now, I’m hoping to get the better part of the quilt top done by next update, it might be a bit ambitious but I do have some spare time so fingers crossed!

Please don’t forget to check out the other amazing people working on their hand quilting. Bella is currently taking a break but you can still go check her blog 😉

Hand Quilt Along – 15/07/18

Happy Monday!

I know I am a day late for our 3 weekly update but I had my baby shower yesterday and I wanted to wait until we got home to take a picture of my (little) progress, to keep it consistent. It seems I can’t keep up with blogging when I’m not home, probably because I don’t have my usual photo set up, and because I was also so busy with meeting up with friends and catching up with family.

From the picture, it looks like I have done nothing, but I have in fact cut a lot of fabric and done two more rows that I have not yet attached to the main body (hence why you cannot see it on this picture). I am sure that it will show more next time we update! I have also been rather busy making two pairs of socks, which I will show you on Friday, and working on my Orbit the dragon (with some extra drama, otherwise where is the fun?). I hope you have been well, I will catch up on all your wonderful work this week 😊

Hand Quilt Along – 13/05/18

Happy Sunday readers and happy mothers day if you are in Australia!

I’m very happy I’m made lots of progress on my English paper piecing this time around. My mum was over visiting last week and we were working on it together (she was cutting the fabric and also helped me with choosing some new fabrics). She was very excited to be able to participate in this project, as it will be a quilt for baby. I don’t see my parents very often as they still live in France but this really made our weekend together extra special.

Maybe it was the extra help or I have just been very inspired to work on it (considering I didn’t have any update last time), either way I’ve added quite a few more diamond shapes to the quilt.

I’m now past half way up, but I think I’ll fill in some of the bottom before going much higher. Mum and I also chose a back for the quilt, and I couldn’t resist taking a picture of my EPP on top of it to show you.

The back is a bit big at the moment but I will trim it to size after I quilt the lot, to make sure it doesn’t end up too small after quilting.

That’s it for me, I hope you had a wonderful week and we will be back for another update on the EPP in three weeks!
