October hopes
September wasn't really my month but look what's in store for October! I'm so excited about this quilt top. I picked it up today from quilting service. My friend done a fab job on it and I love it! She does quilt for others and uses short arm. Every time I visit her and chat over coffee it's like recharging my batteries. She is my quilting guru for sure.
I'm making this my October goal. I missed my September goal which was to finish Christmas cushion. I have only managed to quilt the back side of it.
Pebbles in my interpretation looks like rocks! Yeah sure, that was my intention, lol.
I definitely need to practice MORE. Once I hang this quilt on wall I'll have it as motivation to improve myself.
Take this as September round up since that's all I achieved. The credit of quilting goes to my friend Monika. Plus we have collected 112kg of horse chestnuts so far. These are collected by school and huntsman will feed the deer in winter with them.

ReplyDeleteI've never seen such amazing paint drips! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Vera! What a gorgeous quilt and your pebbles look like pebbles to me. I hope that October is a positive month for you (and those thereafter). Nothing better than having a cup tea/coffee with a quilting pal xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have words! This is simply spectacular. Your cushion looks like it will be wonderful when completed. Are friends just the greatest? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pebbles have a great texture, so relax and embrace their crinkly goodness! They are wonderful just the way they are. :) Your quilt is also quite wonderful. Well done!

ReplyDeletegorgeous work Vera!! Love it so much. the quilting is fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteRocks can just be a new quilting design - but they look like pebbles to me :-)
ReplyDeleteWow--your new quilt looks AMAZING, and your friend did such a beautiful job on the quilting. I think your own quilting looks good as well. I'm going to have to try pebbles (or rocks) myself one of these days!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic, well done to your friend! Your pebble-rocks look fine to me, it is just all about practice isn't it? The more we do, the better we get!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great to me. I must practice so I can get this good.
ReplyDeleteWOW the quilting is amazing - it's going to be awesome when it's done! You *did* finish a goal in September - Nina, Pretty Ballerina (Abba song, LOL) ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is freaking awesome quilting. Yup, you definitely need to have a go!!! Small pieces as a sampler - you'll get there!
ReplyDeleteYour friend's quilting is fantastic! I love the 'starblock' in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI like your pebbles! Personally, I prefer them when they come out a little larger, like rocks, than teeny tiny ones because they have a really nice texture!
That is really good motivation to improve. I should just get in the habit of practicing every week I guess.
ReplyDeleteWell that quilt just went to the next level! I especially like the echo drips around the orange. You're still such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour paint drip quilt was amazing before, but now it is super amazing. What teamwork!
ReplyDeleteawesome quilting.
