aunt clara is ready for the show

my dear aunt claras quilt is finished!! and i really like her.i needed 6 rolls of pearl cotton thread nr. 8 for the quilting,and that is not so much,i think.she got a black satin binding. i have sent 207 pdf-files from aunt claras quilt until today.

some more hexagon-rosettes,looks like a bunch of 65 panncakes,but i need a few more.

nothing against something new

there is nothing to say against something new to sew,well, i think. and while i am quilting aunt claras quilt,wich will take a while...,i found this project,and i have quite a lot old swedish curtain fabrics that fit perfect for those hexagon rosettes,i need to sew 8 more of them,and then creme white hexies between all of them, so there is a lot to do ...

aunt claras border

i began on two sides with the border on aunt claras quilt, the original quilt has no border , and i am not quite sure if mine should have it,but i like this windham fabric so much, it reminds me so much of my so beloved greatgrandmother,she wore clothes of such fabric,what do you think?

aunt clara in the garden

heres my aunt clara lying in the garden,and a detail picture for irena,thanks so much! four rows left until she is square. by the way, i have sent now 116 pdf-files of the templates worldwide,thats amazing,i think.if someone is interested in the pdf-file i made,please send me an e-mail.
wenn noch wer das pdf möchte,bitte mir eine email schicken!

row 8 is finished,but there is still a row 9 to sew.i made my templates for this quilt a bit smaller,because i wanted to use my 5" scraps for the diamonds,si if i want this quilt as big as the original i have to sew at least one more row,maybe two,have a nice sunday all you out there,susi
