Summer Days...

Thinking I would really love to make a quilt using these fabrics that I picked up the other day...but having trouble with what pattern!!

Can you help? Any ideas as to what I should do.... best idea I will try...

The fabrics remind me so much of the Australian summer...beautiful blue skies... bright yellow daisies and crisp green leaves...

What do you think?

"Sugar Flower" Quilt

I had some 4 1/2" squares left over from a quilt that I made recently, fabrics that came from the Lecien fabric range "Sugar Flower".

So I decided that instead of cutting them up or using them in an applique quilt, I wanted to show case them to their best!!

But I had to add a little appliqued heart...because that's me!!

Using some white homespun as sashing, I framed the squares and then added a beautiful aqua floral border from the same range as the fabrics... looks rather cute, if I say so myself!!

Quilts 2011

Just thought I would share, what I think has been a very productive year!! This year I have made 15 quilts...and yes! there are more photos than that, but I tried to get some close ups as well!!

My goal for 2012, I'm going to aim for 20!! One can live in hope...

"Countdown To Christmas" In A Twinkling!!

Why does Christmas always seem to come so quickly...every year I say, I'll be more organised and get the Christmas shopping done early, but every year is the same...last minute!!

But I'll always have time to quilt.... this here is my "Countdown to Christmas" Quilt, thanks to a wonderful pattern called "In A Twinkling" by 'Frivolous Necessity'. A great downloadable pattern, and very easy to follow, you can make one too...but maybe next year!!

The fabric range I used is called "Countdown to Christmas" and you can find it here, you can also purchase the pattern from here as well!!

Will post finished quilt...of course, when it's finished!!

Take Care

Kokeshi Doll...

Isn't she cute...made this little "Kokeshi Doll" in anafternoon for my daughter for her birthday...it's from Melanie Hurlston book "Kaleidoscope", very quick and easy!!

"Apples for Jam" Quilt finished...

Here is a picture of my "Apples for Jam" Quilt...why the name...I am inspired by the book "Apples for Jam" at the moment, the beautiful recipes and gorgeous pictures...

I choose the name because these fabrics look like Apples and Strawberry Jam... and not to mention this quilt was super easy!!

"Apples for Jam" Quilt...fresh and fabulous!!

I bought these fabrics the other day and have decided to do a quick block quilt using large strips surrounded by one of the other fabrics to make large rectangles. Then I plan to join them all together like bricks, using a half block to square of the edges. Will post pictures as it is getting stitched together.... but here are the fabrics, are they yummy!! The are Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry and I got them from Hawthorne Threads and Fabric..
