Work In Progress Wednesday: Little bits of something


I spent the weekend quilting my 12 Trees quilt.  It is now quilted, bound, photographed and hung so I will have that to show you later in the week.  I am sooooo happy with how it turned out.  I also added a little bit to Autumn Gemstones.  It is a wonderful HST variation and the dissimilar fabrics all seem to work out in the end as long as I play be my self-imposed colour rules!

12 Trees is free motion quilted in random squiggles which in mind are supposed to represent wind.  Just go with it people.  I changed thread colours with each tree and buried a lot of knots.  Yes, I did.


And my sewing room reno is completed.  Thank you, Husband!!!!!  I am spoiled with space and lovely cupboards.  I do have a little kitchen for canning and stuff and then my husband finished the cabinets on the sink wall and counter tops throughout.  We also replaced the sink and I love my new sink.  It is fabulous!  So have a little tour.  The floor is still 70s chic but that is just fine!  And I do have such a lovely view out the windows!






Linking up with Lee for Work in Progress Wednesday!  What are you working on?

  2. Your room looks wonderful--and that's an extra kitchen for canning? I'm jealous! At first I was thinking that might make it hard to decide which fun thing to do...then I realized, heck, why not do both at the same time! No sense wasting time while waiting on things to boil!

  3. Love the wall with shelves, cubby spaces! The table and working setup is just great with your beautiful window/patio window view. Very functional use of space! Enjoy!
