The Lyrebird at the Garden Gate Quilt

This is my latest creation..."The Lyrebird at the Garden Gate Quilt" using Tula Pink fabric range called "Plume", which is my most favourite fabric range!! I found the garden gate quilt design on "Hyacinth Quilt Designs" blog and thought,yes, this will do the fabric range justice and really make the colours of the fabrics 'pop'. I love this quilt....now off to the quilters I go!!

My Whimsical Garden

Here is a picture of my finished "My Whimsical Garden" quilt. I had an absolute blast making this quilt; to be able to use so many different colours and fabrics. I did try to use the fabrics only once throughout the quilt, but there are some double-ups, but only because I loved the fabric so much I had to use it twice... The quilt is from "Piece 'o' Cake" designs...

The Comfort Quilt.....finished...

Here it is...my "Comfort Quilt" is finished, and I love it!! Thanks Leanne for stepping out into a different colour way to create this beautiful quilt. Made especially for my room, I added a few extra blue, charcoal, and chocolate colours to compliment my bedroom and I think it has worked well!!

'Lorry's Flower Garden" Quilt...

It has finally made it - into "Country Threads' magazine, Vol 12 No 1. I sent this quilt off about 6 months ago to be in the magazine and it is finally in print!!

This quilt was created in remembrance of the garden I used to play in as a kid...at my Grandma's house...a garden full of lavender and stunning, fragrant roses....

Simple nine patch piecing and fairly easy applique work, made this quilt a joy to make.

I hope you all like it...

Until next time

"The Comfort Quilt"

I needed to make a quilt for our bedroom that would go with the blue, the linen and the provincial style that I was planning to create in our bedroom. I was looking through the latest issue of "Vignette" by Leanne Beasley, and I came across this quilt - "The Comfort Quilt". As soon as I saw it, I just knew this was the one I had to make.

So the following Saturday I was down at "Gail's Patchwork", buying my fabrics. This is the stack that I purchased...

Next came all the cutting, which I find I really enjoy doing, there is something very relaxing about it, laying all the strips into columns, they look kind of cool!

Now I've just got to work out in which order I will stitch them together...

Until next time,

Stay Safe

Hexagon Quilt

I was inspired by Leanne Beasley's Hexagon Quilt in her second issue of "Vignette In Stitches" magazine, so I thought I would give it a go. There is something very therapeutic about stitching tiny hexagons together, something that I can take with me and stitch whenever; like at work during lunchtime. I have tried to be very disciplined and stitch together at least one full hexagon flower each lunchtime, so far I have made about 30 flowers, and I think they look really pretty. They are fun to stitch!!
