Quilts finished, nearly finished and under construction

I was delighted when Helen showed me a couple of quilts she has now finished that she commenced in some of my classes in recent months.  "Just Kimonos" which was published in Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol 22 No 12 is a present for her mother and will soon be on its way to England. 
Helen's braid quilt has used some stunning new pre cut fabrics from Cairns Craft Centre.

Meanwhile back in the studio I have been very busy flitting from one project to another.  There is the purple quilt which I am currently machine quilting in preparation for a class in January at Cairns Craft Centre.
Then we have all the different projects in various stages of assembly which I store in plastic boxes.
There is "the chair" with all the quilt tops and layered quilts waiting for their turn to be machine quilted
and the partly quilted ones just waiting until there is nothing else more urgent before I finish quilting them.
I always get around to finishing all the projects eventually but some need a deadline to jump the queue.

Till next time
Frances

Lovely to see how organised you are with your 'waiting'projects. I have used the plastic boxes too - keeps the dust off if they are sitting too long!

That's a whole lot of quilts. Like you, I tend to flit from one project to another too.

I think we are all reassured to know that even the most organised of us have projects in various stages of being finished!

Spoken like a true quilter. I too organise my stuff into boxes kit like. You never know what you feel like working on so it is best to have options and I shall look forward to seeing some of those quilts being unveiled. Lovely projects by Helen.

Definitely no time to be bored!
I can imagine you must get a real buzz seeing what your students make. What a delight to pass on skills and enthusiasm for this wonderful interest.
