In 2024 I made one quilt .. only .... and love this one a lot.
The quilt pattern is from Alison Glass "Alternative", the fabric is also from one of her lines completed with Kona solids.
For February not much plans were made as I had planned a holiday to the US to see some friends and to go to QuiltCon2024.
I did manage to finish the binding on my Rise Above quilt. The pattern is from Charisma Horton and the indications are quite clear.
The top was finished in 2022 or 2023 .... and realized that this quilt was soooo large ... I had not paid attention to the final size .....
I bought the batting and ordered extra wide backing and prepared the three layers for quilting on my machine. As I was to start I realized that there was no way I could quilt such a large quilt .... a 10 minute discussion with my self followed ... to decide that this top was going to the long arm quilter. I removed all the basting pins, separated the three layers and sent all off to the Netherlands to Stitched in colors.
The quilt just needs a label and will be gifted to my eldest who turns 18 this month. He claimed it as a birthday gift
My January OMG was to finish the top of the Wintervillage quilt.
For the quilting I used @aurifilthread - the color builder Passionflower set. This was a price generously given by Aurifil through @devotedquilter as part of the wips-b-gone2023 challenge.
I had not done a lot of sewing last year and the challenge really made me get back. Winning the beautiful thread was the last push to get this quilt done. This was the first time using Aurifil thread on my machine - I use it already for my EPP handstitching project - it is a charm to work with.
