Finished projects new and old.


The quilting has bought this quilt alive.  I am really pleased with how it has turned out and looking forward to getting the other quilt that I made from the other half of the jelly roll quilted.  Every time I look at these quilt, it is hard to believe they have been made from one jelly roll.  I made these quilts about 3 years ago, but like everything we move on to 'new' projects.  It is great to at last have one of them out and on a bed.


 
 
This is the other half of the jelly roll that I used to make this quilt.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
My first batch of crab apple jelly, picked from my apple tree. 
 


I made this quilt the other day.  I have had this fabric for over 6 years.  I bought it when I visited my friend Deirdre who lives in America.  We went to a wonderful Amish town called Shipshewanna.  I just had to have this fabric with the Jack Russell dogs on as it is so like our JR Alife.  This is the same quilt top pattern that Susan made on her holiday's last Christmas for a friends baby.  A great size quilt that goes together in no time.  I just need to get it quilted now!

  1. Wendy, Your quilting looks fantastic and yes brings the quilt alive. I love the zigzag design out of the jelly roll. Looks like an interesting one to put together. Joanne.

    1. Hi Joanne. I don't know if you have any of the jelly roll books, but these quilts are from the book titled 'two from one'. Both quilts were joined on the diagonal which was a first for me.

  4. ... As I was saying, before I inadvertently pressed the 'publish' button, you even find time to make jelly. I struggle just to go to work and back!! Hope you're having a good week off. Xx
