Photos for earlier work

[elettaria]

I'll do separate posts for the methods later, but meanwhile here are most of the pictures for my earlier work.

Cushion covers - first attempts at any sort of quilting, pieced but not quilted. Bachelor's Puzzle and Grape Basket



More cushion covers - first attempts at quilting. Maple leaf and my own designs, based on traditional blocks. The pinky-blue one is also beaded.





Carpenter's Square - first completed quilt. 61" square, quilted in the ditch. Larger picture



Fish baby quilt - second quilt I pieced, quilting delayed for a few quilts though. Designed by me. Larger picture



Coffee cosy 1 - crazy quilted (in the photo on the cafetiere, it's pinned as I hadn't yet added the velcro)





Coffee cosy 2 - designed by me, first attempt at curved piecing. Larger picture



Sample for the tessellating diamonds design that I later used in the autumnal bedspread



Purple peacock quilt - 50" square. Found the design randomly online, don't know its name. Better photos here.



Close-up before quilting



Rachel's Star - found the design in an online quilt magazine

lol, coffee cozy! I've made one of those too. Had to wing it, no pattern.

So what is your favourite coffee? Mine's East Timor Fair Trade (practically local). I drink it straight up, no milk, no sugar

I was winging it too, which is why the second one is more shaped than the first. It's pretty basic, after all. I don't drink coffee, my boyfriend does! I have hordes of different teas, though, mostly herbal.

These are *gorgeous!* Especially the peacock and Rachel's star. WOW.

Do you quilt by hand or machine?
