I'm sewing on a dark blue mitered quilt binding.
Next time I'll show you the finished (small) quilt.
I have an idea in my head of what I want to make for the mini quilt swap. I'm gathering bits and pieces, combining colors and fabrics. Hope to show you more about that next post too.
In case I have extra free time left, yes right..haha, how about this lovely teapot cushion! I really love to make this one day. I found the picture in a Japanese quiltmagazine. I believe it's an issue from the '90s, not sure..don't read Japanese language that well. The colors red, blue white...just my favorite.
Okay, so I'm off to sew on the binding, make a mini quilt, crochet granny's and finishing of all my other wip's. Maybe I'll have free time then!

That teapot is adorable! I love your quilt and the colors are so cheerful. The fabrics you are gathering go so very well with the cross stitich, did you make that? Lovely.
Free time whats that! Your quilt looks very nice machine quilted.
Well for a first time machine quilter that looks fantastic, love the bright colours.
wat een vrolijke quilt! quilten met de machine is niet mijn ding - het lijkt dan of alles tegenwerkt ...
I love the bright colors you used in your quilt! It looks lovely! The teapot pin cushion looks like a fun project!
P.S. - thanks for the birthday wishes for my daughter! :)
The quilt looks great and the teapot cushion is pretty. I always love the colors that you choose.
actually corry, i think free motion quilting is easier than straight lines - at least you can hide your mistakes better :)
i started off with a pot holder - a nice small project but my friend just dived in with a big quilt and did it - and it looks fabulous. if i were you, i'd give it a go - it's actually quite good fun

That looks great to me. I'm not looking forward to that part of my quilt. The teapot cushion is darling. I love the little extras you added to it.
I love your quilt it is so beautiful! The quilting is lovely. I'm with Levin. I think you should give free motion a go. I don't think it's harder than straight quilting, just different. Oh! And if you find any of that free time, let me know where so I can find some for myself!
Your quilting looks perfect Corry! Very pretty quilt.
I love nine-patch quilts...looks perfect to me!
sigh! all that red, white and blue is oh so pretty - i know exactly what you mean about machine quilting! And yes, you should make that lovely cushion - very sweet. :-)
Great work. I wish I could buy some extra time as well.
Love the teapot.
Your quilt looks lovely Corry,and the photo of your wisteria brings back memories of my sister in laws house. She had a beautiful wisteria that put on a great show each year!
cheers
Beautiful "Corry" combination of fabrics!
I can't wait to see that nine-patch quilt completed! I love the combination of fabrics you used!
Alles ziet er weer prachtig uit. Geweldig hoe je eindeloos met dezelfde kleuren kunt experimenteren en dat het er dan elke keer weer zo anders uit ziet. En wat een werktempo heb jij zeg!
It is easier to do free motion quilting than straight lines!
My red, white and blue wonderfulness stop for the day! Your quilt is so lovely! E
love the colors! gr8 work=)
p.s.love the blog
Hello Corry!
I read one of your post some time ago, but I didn't notice the photo of your wonderful blue china!
My mother loves blue (though right now she has the "Yellow Period") but here in Italy it is not easy to find china like yours, only bad imitations!
Gorgeous! Wat jij doet is erg goed. Thanks for sharing these! Gives me some inspiration! :-)
Gorgeous quilt and quilting. And straight lines are not that easy at all...!!
what a fabulous quilt you are working on!!!

What a beautiful quilt! I love the bright colours you used in the quilt.
Hallo Corry,
Wat een heerlijke blog! Ik geniet van de prachtige handwerken die je maakt! Ik was gelijk verliefd op het gehaakte poppendekentje...
