October Focus Projects

 


With no regret I have switched my last challenge project to the project above πŸ˜€

The project I have put away for now is Raspberry Tea Quilt. I planned to do machine quilting in sections to finish it, but I do not feel up to machine quilting right now, and am doing something smaller instead. 

This box chair I bought second hand during the summer of 2021, when we were cut away from normal life by Covid. 
I had searched for one like this for years, and suddenly I found one, online, only a few minutes walk from my own home. The chair is true vintage - from the late 40s, early 50s. The price was nice too.





Next is a cushion kit I bought a Red Rooster Quilts in Dublin, Ohio last autumn. 
The snowmen is printed from a original drawing by the owner of the shop. 
I need to do some changes to the original size of the cushion. It is a bit to big for my couch. I think I have come up with an idea that will make me use all the fabrics included in the kit.





I have had this embroidery as a side project for some time, and my goal is to finish it this year. 
It has its own story that I will tell in a later post. The design is by Kaffe Fassett.
