Winnings

I was a lucky winner of this beautiful pack of Christmas fabric from Samelia's Mum. I have a few projects in mind for the new year using Christmas fabric, so i'm sure you will be seeing this soon.

Fat 1/4 Club

This week was my turn. I was very spoiled by the gilrs Natalie, Barb, Jan, and Sandy. I received a charm pack of Bliss and some fat quaters by Barb and Sandy, now to decided what to make........

Thank you girls.

Girlie Girl Quilt

I have just finished putting together this Charm pack quilt, now to find a outer boarder. The Charm pack was called Girlie Girl.

Tis the Season

I have just completed my second Tis the Season quilt by Natalie Bird. Think I will be keeping this one for us.

I have been working on a christmas swap but it's a secret...........Hope she likes it.

I am off to work with a charm pack.....see you soon

I'm back

Andrew asked me at the weekend to make a bag for his cordless microphone thingy (he plays bass guitar and sings in a band) so this afternoon I made this won't he be surprised..


Last night I completed the first off my Tis the Season quilt top's. I have enjoyed doing this chirstmas wall hanging. I have started tracing another one.

Angus Birthday

This week Angus turned 3. We decided to have a Doctor Who party, he is a big fan along with his daddy. Here is the costume that we got from the Uk for him to wear on the day. Yes he is a Dalek.




I made his birthday cake, it's the Doctor's Tardis. My friend Vickie made the red Dalek.

Stitching round the block

Thank you Fiona, Marina and Lorraine for all the hard work that you put into my stitching around the block.

I have finished and made it into a pillow. I love it. I have the perfect chair to put it on and admire.

Slack Blogger

I have been slack blogging but I have been busy quilting. First off I started with a birthday present for my sister. I made her a sewing bag, pin cushion, needle holder, and bought her a clover needle holder.


Finished a quilt for my friends baby, but I will have to show you later as she comes by and I dont want to spoil the surprise.



I have been making tissue holders (100 of them) some for a friend who was having a ladies pamper night, playgroup fundraiser and some for gifts. They are very quick to make and addictive.

I have also started Tis the Season quilt. I have seen it around a lot of blogs and thought why not, so i'm making 2.

I have also been working on a UFO, so pictures of that in the next few days (promise)

So you see I have been busy. See you soon

Ufo finished & Baby toys

I dug into my box of Ufo's and decided it was time to finish this purse by The Birdhouse.

I Love it.



I have made more of the little Giraffe's for friends babies, these are so additive. The pattern is Sew Little by Melanie Hurston

Easter Sewing

No sew blanket


Over Easter I managed to get a few projects done. This is a no sew blanket using polar fleece.

Moda Lawn Chair quilt



This quilt can be put together in a few nights using scraps,width of fabrics or the original pattern is using a jelly roll. I used the scraps from the other red and white quilts that I had made earlier.

Two baby quilts using the same fabric just changed the inside border.





With quite a few babies coming this year I thought I would get a head start. Now I have to wait till my quilter can fit me in.

Waiting for the Easter Bunny

Happy Easter. We are already.

I'm late

I'm late to post this for my One Chirstmas Item per month. I made this one before for a swap and loved it, so I made one for us.

Thangles Quilt

Another finish for the month. I started this thangles quilt 2 years ago. It will be heading to a friend who had a little girl yesterday.

Coin Quilt

I made this quilt using a Jelly roll, I am very happy with the final result.

Soft Toys

This year I have a few friends having babies, so I am making a start on their presents. I will be making more of these, they are fun and quick to make. Perfect for little hands.

Christmas

I have joined Narelle's 1 Item a month for Christmas. This is what I have achieved for the month. A tree skirt and a table topper (just needs to be quilted) and 12 christmas tea towels.

Eleana's birthday present

I made this sewing bag, pin cushion and needle case for my friend's birthday, her favorite colour was blue, she loved it.

Stitching round the block

Before Christmas I received my stitchery back. Thank you ladies for all your hard work. I love it. I am thinking of making it into a cushion, but I will think about it for a little while.
