An 18 month project

It has been a while since I have made an update… in between times we have been away overseas for 6 weeks…no sewing but I did manage to buy some lovely fabric in Amsterdam. Now home I can continue working on my current project.

It has been a 18 months since I started my Imaginary Garden quilt, designed around Yoko Saito’s pattern. I wanted to make a larger quilt to fit a Queen size bed, hence some pattern adjusting and expanding was needed.

I have finally completed all the appliqué and embroidery. I decided to alter the outside border to make the appliqué appear to float in the middle of the quilt and added a light blue border with the same fabric I used for the flower stems.

Now for the quilting…. I want the appliqué to pop, so will only outline the flower clusters and fill the background space. I am happy with the progress so far.

      1. Hi Lyn

        We are having a great weekend and the quality of quilts this year is fantastic. Everyone is loving the show.

        I can’t for the life of me seem to be able to comment in your blog. The comments box comes up but I cannot get my cursor in there or be able to start typing, so thank you for responding. I have no idea how the ‘wow’ got there.

        I wanted to say – wow, there is a lot of work in that and it looks amazing. I’m sure I wanted to ask you a question in the blog, but it’s taken me so long to get to this point, I have forgotten!!! The vagaries of old age, ha ha.

        I am sure you are going to love doing the quilting – it is my favourite part these days. The quilt comes to life. Enjoy.

        Cheers, Ann
