Literally in the machine - one of the Carol Doak's BOM scenic squares
being quilted. I have the 12 done but instead of putting them in a quilt
I'm doing 4 calendar wall hangings to cover an interior window (Narrow
17" wide x 36 long between the hall and the kitchen). For the autumn one
I've done a bright maple leaf design panel and put a plain dark green
backing on.
Then I'm going to put the October, November, December blocks on the
plain side a la Jean Wells
http://jeanwellsquilts.com/gallery-more.html
'Portaits in a garden' but mine will be portrait orientation instead of
landscape. By chance when I was browsing the past progs. on the Quilt
Show Site I revisited her section in the first series, and the idea just
hit me. Her plain background is heavily quilted with grasses and
flowers. I would like this finished by the end of Oct. so I can get the
Jan. Feb. March one started, which is going to include a small panel I
bought ages ago of a wintery scene for the kitchen side. The Spring
panel will be appliqued flowers, and the summer one a seaside theme.
Also waiting to be quilted is a Christmas table runner, a Christmas Tree
quilt I originally did from scraps meaning it to be a backing, but then
decided I liked it too much to be a backing, a small Christmas panel, 2
strip sampler lap quilts and my starry night. I am hand quilting the
European Swap from a couple of years ago, so that will take ages.
What else? An applique panel for the guest room to go with the almost
completed but stuck sampler quilt, a cut out applique silly cats in hats
wall hanging, a cut out 4 cats sitting on steps. Oh yes, my Bird of
Paradise quilt I am hand piecing. All the blocks are done, and I'm just
putting them together. I'm not rishing it as I enjoy doing it.
I've just finished a winter bag and a baby quilt for a friend's first
grandchild. Baby due at Christmas, but the quilt is safely parcelled up
ready.
So I'd better go and do a bit more to that little block thats sitting in
the machine waiting embellishment and wondering where I've gone! I'm
having fun with it.

I'm feeling very productive at the moment. Finally got all the
pinwheel blocks finished that surround the larger paper pieced blocks
of the Christmas Pickle class I took earlier this year. Got them all
sewn onto the larger blocks so I'm at a point I can put it away for a
bit while I get moving on other things with actual deadlines. Since I
now have room on the cutting table I was able to cut, piece, iron and
pin the binding on the king sized quilt to be delivered in April.
I'll be able to sew that onto the quilt either tomorrow or Mon. I'm
also hand-quilting a queen sized quilt also for delivery in April. I
am through the middle from one end to the other on that one. Not bad
considering I started that mid-Sept. Bought the fabric for my niece's
commissisoned quilt the other day. Will start washing/ironing that
beginning of the week and will start slicing and dicing that shortly
thereafter. No specific deadline on that one but hopefully before the
weather gets warm again! Also have my LQS BOM going. And another
quilt, don't even know the size, that a friend decided she hated and
has given me to finish quilting. I will probably then end up
alternating between the Christmas pickle and the donated quilt once
the king and queens due in April are done.

What does the Christmas Pickle quilt look like? Is it the Pickle Dish
pattern? Or is it a 'realistic looking pickle'?
Thanks

pickles either)

This is a link to the Christmas Pickle pattern. It was a paper
piecing class that I took at my LQS several months ago. The center
portions of the block are paper pieced and then are surrounded by 5
smaller pinwheel blocks. I've chosen to do mine in blue as opposed to
the (apparently) typical green.

The whole thing is definitely out of my comfort zone. I'm generally a
much more 'ordered' person when it come to quilting. I supposed
because so much of the rest of my life is definitely NOT ordered!

Thank you for all your help. I now have access to a 'Pickle Christmas Tree
Ornament' that I'll get for her.
I haven't found a PP pattern for a pickle as of yet, but I'll keep looking.
I thought I might make-up a PP one and 'frame it' Probably about a 6 "
finished square....that she could hang in her kitchen. ((I've found pp'ed
patterns for: apple, peach, pear, tomato, etc, but NO Pickle as of yet.
Butterfly (and yes, she would hang it there: )
