Quilt, 'Fox in a box' finished June 2024

A wall quilt.

I designed the fox faces myself, but took inspiration from the many similar fox face patterns online.

I did some machine applique for the first time and added some jewels and sequins. 

The only new fabric I purchased was the spotty blue for the borders, everything else is from my stash which is still overflowing all over the floor!

 

The quilting design is 'Foxes Garden'

 

 

 

I also joined leftovers for the backing fabric.

 

While piecing this quilt I was reading the wonderful novel 'What Abigail did that summer'

So I featured Abigail and her talking foxes on the label.

 

It was the last quilt to be up on my office wall before I retired.

I have two quilts waiting for me to finish the binding.

One top currently at the quilters  and two more tops in the final stages before sending them for quilting.

I am also piecing 'Deeper Water' which is coming together on my display wall and looking good.

I'm not starting anything else until I get some of these things finished!!!
