Beyond the Garden Gate

A design by the talented Leanne May of Candlelight Creations. My version finished and I am very happy. I started this quilt with a friend early in 2006 and the completed top has been languishing in a bag since late in 2008.

The original pattern - yes, I omitted the applique tongues on the blocks and changed the colours to bright, but I did stick with the actual block design. I used navy to frame the blocks, for the narrow border and binding.

The background for the stitcheries is a very fine check, it also appears in the corners of the blocks and the outer border.

These three blocks make up the top row of the quilt.

My first April finish - may there be more!

Hope your week is going well with lots of creative spaces.

Happy Creating

Crocheting this.. Stitching this...

and Quilting this

This quilt top has been completed for a good year and a half, I decided it was time to finish it off. The design is Beyond the Garden Gate from Candlelight Creations - I know I changed the colours big time!

Gotta love a few days filled with crafty opportunities.

Visited the old people last night - lots of crafty supplies to show next time.

Hope everyone enjoyed a Happy and Safe Easter Day, with lots of chocolate yummies.
