Quilts for Perth

I have made 2 quilts to take to Perth and I finally thought to take photos at the beach. We have only been back from the states and living a few minutes walk from the beach for 6 years. I am quick!!

This quilt is based on a kit my friend bought at the Sydney Quilt show from fifsifabricology.  I used a bright sun layer cake. This will be for a friend I started primary school with. She is the first of our school year to turn 50. We have been friends for 44 years!

This is my City Quilts made years ago and finally finished as an engagement present for my niece. I actually pieced  a back for this one. I love this and made a  mini table runner for me so I could give it away. 

New Book

I could not resist this colouring book. I think it has some designs which are perfect for stitching. Isn't this one great!

A Christmas Runner

I finished the dog runner in plenty of time for Christmas. A friend made me a candle in a beaker. We work in the science department of a high school.

Some Christmas Sewing

 I bought the cutest panel at the quilt show in Brisbane and have made a runner which I hope to quilt soon. I still have plenty of dogs left for other projects, now I need to find the time.

A Christmas Present

I finally started my Charley Harper quilt. I have been a bit scared to start this as I love the fabric so much I was worried I would stuff it up and waste the fabric.

I used a tutorial by Hyacinth Quilt Design but I made the blocks a little bigger so I could cut larger fussy cut squares. This design really makes me think instead of mindlessly following instructions. I think I prefer mindlessly following instructions.



I finished the batman cushion I am was making for my son.

I still have quite a bit of this fabric left from the quilt I made 2 years ago, so I can see more batman projects in the future.

Bright Sun

I finished another quilt top! Work has been very quiet, a little too quiet but I think that will change soon. This was made with a layer cake of Bright sun and silver background. One good thing about living in Australia is we get some fabric early. I got the idea for this design from a kit a friend bought from Fifis Fabricology. Their pattern used 2 different half square triangles to make the flying geese but had some plain background interspersed which I liked ( and copied). I am making a mini that is similar with half square triangles.

 I made cushions for my twin nieces. One loves Pink and the other Purple.

How cute are these cushions. I love them. The colours don't look quite right especially the purple one but they are a very cute pair.

 I love the binding I found at spotlight and I am thinking I should make a Hazel hedgehog with it!!!
