Prize

I recently won a $50 gift voucher from Happy Quilting for the Fat Quarter Shop. I decided to use it to indulge and buy a fat eighth bundle of Latitude by Kate Spain. I love all things Kate Spain and I love batiks so this fabric was made for me! I added a jelly roll as postage is a lot to Australia so I like to make it worth it. I am very happy with this purchase although no plans for it yet.

pillow cases

My daughter has had a Winnie the Pooh pillow case since she was a toddler but it has been looking worse each time it was washed and finally fell apart. I did not have enough fabric for a burrito style pillow case and I wanted the fabric to be up the right way. It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out how to do this. I first practised with some batik.

It turned out great!

Debs quilt

One of the reasons we bought this house was the amount of light. In the middle of winter it is great with so much light. It has made it hard to photograph quilts. I have discovered early mornings outside there is enough shade to make it possible to get a photo. I am finally going to give this quilt to my friend so I wanted to try and get a better photo.

July OMG

The same goal as last month although I did have to do some resewing to fix the faded green. 

Linking to Elm Street Quilts.

Not even close

My OMG for June was to quilt this quilt top and it didn't happen. I was horrified to find the green had faded on the line it was folded on. Luckily I had some Kona in a similar colour so I replaced it but I am worried about some of my solids. I buy quilters cottons from Spotlight and Lincraft but I have no idea where I bought the fabric I used in the quilt. Now I am putting off the quilting as I hate basting.

I love looking at cross stitch and buying them but not sure if I like doing them as I never seem to finish one. I have put this one on a frame so it is ready to go at all times and hopefully this will make me do it. I have told myself I am not allowed to buy anything cross stitch related until I finish at least one.
