Blocks Done

Yay I have finished all my blocks for the jelly roll quilt along. I really enjoyed doing this and like all the completed blocks.I don't know how I am going to finish it. I have enough background and left over jelly rolls for the sashing and cornerstones but I don't have anything for the borders.


Thanks Moose on the Porch Quilts for a great quilt along.

A new rug

Even though the winters here are very mild, our house with all the tiles was a little chilly. I decided we needed a new rug in family room. I love this rug and can think of a million quilts to make with the colours. I think one of the City Quilts from Cherri at Cherry house quilts is calling my name!I started playing with a log cabin quilt a while ago and decided it was the perfect choice for a cushion in the family room. However now we have Rhani and she is allowed in all the areas of the house with tiles I am having second thoughts about where to put it.
I forgot to post a photo of the pyjamas I made B. They are very cute with dog fabric-perfect.

Rhani

Life just got more complicated. We picked up this gorgeous girl on Monday night from Dog Rescue Newcastle. She is 4-5 months old and we are not quite sure what breeds. The kids love her and she has settled in very quickly. She is snoring on her bed as I write this.

Finished?

This is the first block from the Daisy-Do BOM from Jenni at Elefantz. I thought I had seed beads the right colour-I didn't. I thought I bought enough buttons-I didn't. This is as finished as it will be until I get into Newcastle.This is a wall hanging from an Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I love the pattern but I think I need to use a background with some colour or do some stippling. As the free motion quilting is not going anywhere at the moment-this is finished for now.

This was to try raw edge applique with hand blanket stitch in preparation for doing this

Cushions

Another cushion in the blue/purple combo. I think it is time to move onto something else.
What about some PJ's? I went shopping with a Friend and we got some fabric to make pyjamas. We are getting together tomorrow so B and I should have some new PJ's soon.

Another One

Another cushion.

This one is from Moda Bakeshop. It is one of the cushions from Cushion Couture by Julie and John. I plan to make more.


I also made another mini triangle with the charm squares I had left from Grans mini. This is a tutorial from Oh Fransson.
