Friday Night Sew In

I have been working of Fig n Berry Bom Twas the night before Christmas from 2016 and I got the 6th one finished.  (3 more to go)

I also managed to get the binding on this Christmas quilt.  (I rang out of time before).

This week I have been having a big clean up and sort out of my material.  Amazing what you find and wonder when you bought it.  I have a plan in my head on how my sewing storage area should look like so lets hope it works out.

I have also been sorting out Angus's bedroom and getting him ready for starting back at school next week.

Busy busy busy

What have I been up to over the last few days.

I am on a mission for the rest of the year to get some of the Ufo's finished, I am feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of things I have on the go.

First one is a table mat that I started before Angus was born ( he's nearly 8).  It is a Leanne House Design called Summer Garden Quilt.  It fit's great on my table on the deck, so I'm looking forward to sitting out there in the summer hand sewing and enjoying some sunshine and fresh air.

 I have been promising Angus that he could make a quilt, so we got out some batiks and whipped this one up together.,  Angus did the rows and I joined them together, we are going to do a pieced backing to make it reversible.

Tonight's project will be hand sewing.

Friday night with friends

I was determined to finish the binding on this quilt, This quilt was sitting in the Ufo pile waiting to be quilted for some time.

The fabric is called Strawberry fields, so when I got it quilted she quilted it with strawberries on it.

Finishes for Feburary

I have had a few finishes this month but been slack blogging them.

Angus's I spy quilt quilted and binding on.

Crochet blanket finished

Scarf's ready for Angus's school stall.

Friday Night Sew In

I started this project months ago, over the last week I have spent all my spare time making more squares.  On Saturday night I started to put it together but I still need some more squares for the length so I will be back in a few days with the finished blanket.

Another project that has now been finished thanks to Angus's help he got to use my sewing machine for the first time .  I spy quilt.  another Ufo finished and is at the quilters as I type.

I am enjoying getting ufo's out of the box and finished.  I am so tempted to start something new but then I think of the pile that I already have sitting there.

Ufo's are getting done

Now I have finished off the last of my swaps it's time to get back into finishing some Ufo's and Angus teacher's gifts.

I made these for Angus teachers and before school carers.  Gail Pans reindeer mat with Chocolate Christmas trees, they couldn't believe that I made them.

Flirt layer cake quilt that only need the binding put on.

Owl Christmas stocking and owl soft toy.

Been a busy week but I will be back next week with more finishes.  Is it too early to may a new years resolution to keep up with my blog............

Friday night with Friends

I put the binding on this little girl's quilt.

During the week I also finished off 12 Plastic bag holders.

I have also started on some Christmas in July swaps, want to get them ready early this year.

Jacobb's ladder

I have taken a little while to finish this one off.  It got put to the bottom of the pile.  Now it's ready to head off the quilters next month it feels good to have it finished.  It's to go on our queen size bed.

I have been working through my Ufo's, I have one more quilt on the go and lots of hadstitching projects and some that needs to be framed.

April is going to be another ufo finishing month.

Playgroup Quilt

I have renamed this quilt to my Playgroup Quilt.  Last year I was given this material for help running playgroup.  I waited for the right pattern (which I won).  Now everytime we snuggle under it I will think of the fun times and the great friendships made.

"Flirt"

This is my latest quilt "Flirt" by Sandy Gervais.

Another one for the box, just needs to be quilted now.  I used a layer cake and cut it in half and added a 1 1/2 inch border then a 5 inch final border.

I love the freshness of this one.

March is going to be my UFo  month, they are getting out of control and I have had enough of them sitting around in boxes, so off I go to work my way through them.

California Girl Quilt

I had a charm pack of California Girl lying around and thought I would make it up.  I am quite happy with the results.  Not sure if I should put a border on it.  Another one for the box.

Cuzco Quilt

I wanted a quick and easy quilt to do.  I looked in my box and found on this charm pack.  Cuzco by Kate Spain.

This year I am making a few quilts to have on hand.

I Spy quilts

We have a friend who is having her 5th baby any day now, so I made 2 Ispy quilts one with red and the other in blue as she hasnt found out what they are having.  I have also been doing a lot of hand sewing christmas projects this month so I will be bloging them as soon as I have the borders on them.

1+2 Quilt

I bought a layer cake from Samelia's mum when she was desashing and I knew I wanted to make her pattern that she has on her blog.  It came together very quickly and in a couple of hours.

I am now on the look out for more layer cakes.

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.

My Mums Quilt

I have made this quilt for my mum, it is called "Formal Elegance" by Rickety Stitches. I enlarged the size to fit a Queen Size Bed. There are 16 blocks, all with backstitch and some satin stitch.

I am very happy with it, hope she is too.

Cheryl's Quilt

This is my friend Cheryl's quilt. It is her first attempt at quilting. I did the borders and the binding for her, great effort Cheryl.
