October finishes!

At last the Lynette Anderson (enlarged) quilt is complete. Yay!

I always find that I can't wait to start the next project whilst trying to complete the current quilt.

Back of the quilt using left over blocks.









Enjoyed making this quilt.  Stitcheries completed during out three month caravan break away from winter cold in South Australia.  LOVE Queensland winters!



Little simple bag using Little Black Dress 2 charm squares. Super quick and easy.  In use. Good size. 1/4" straight line quilting effective - looks good and adds a bit of body.

Delightful baby quilt

I have been thinking about making a baby quilt,  using lime, white and navy fabrics.  Greatest motivation to begin was the birth of a new little boy called Levi.  So I got to work!

Photography skills also need a stack of work!,

 
 
 


Quilting with puppies!

He should be a quilter!



Toti loves quilts. Always gets onto a quilt on a couch.  The downside? This is the third of my pearle 8 threads.  So much fun!

Work in progress

 This quilt is based on a design by Lynette Anderson.  I have enlarged the embroidery designs. The originals were a little too small for me to stitch.  I did the stitcheries while we were in Queensland on holidays.  We tend to head north each year in the winter to escape the Adelaide winter.

Packing enough sewing to keep me busy is a real challenge.  More and more storage in the caravan is required for quilting projects each time we go away.  But any excuse to visit quilt stores along the way!!!!





One of my little projects was to make some coasters to match colours in a painting!  They look like eyes all put together!!  I used raw edge appliqué.

WIP

Photo posted yesterday is my "star spangled" quilt. Photo quality is poor! Hopefully I'll improve these skills. 

The 1/2" hexie quilt is ready for me to quilt. It is up on the wall waiting for FMQ inspiration,  any ideas out there? 

This small quilt is made using orphan. blocks from star spangled.  Quite cute. They were left over chevron boarder blocks.  Dee
