Here's my first 2013 completion. Made in a class with Susan Edmonson. The coneflower is painted with wax pastels, then the details are stitched. Great fun!

Here's my first quilt to be pulled out of the stops in 2013. I made the blocks in a Craftsy class with Pepper Cory and after seeing the show with Jacquie Guering I decided to have a go at just quilting using my walking foot on the serpentine stitch. There is so much detail in the blocks that any quilting becomes invisible so this worked out really well. It is a single bed size and it's new home will be in Dingle, Co. Kerry. I have called it 'Rubies are Forever'.

Thanks all. It feels good to have done it. Yes, Wendy, the border is FMQ but I marked the space to fill so I could be sure that I would fill i evenly and I made a big practice piece to teach myself how to get around. Patsy Thompson was the instructor for the border and she had some suggestions on how to practice on paper first, and so I did. It took me some time to come up with my final design and the corners took even more time, but I'm really pleased with them.
One of the problems with this sort of quilt is that you don't know what is coming next month. I found it difficult to decide on how dense the quilting should be in each block and because I followed along every month there was nothing else to do but quilt away the best I could
