BOMs

I finished Septembers block for the Aurifil BOM.

I also completed February and March in the Vice Versa BOM. Still a little behind. I cannot believe how long it took to make these blocks. The pattern instructions are very clear but I turned half square triangles around in pretty much every block and did not notice until there was a lot of unpicking to do. Maybe it is because I have been watching Supernatural while sewing and am not focused.

Nested Churn Dash....Done

I finally finished sewing the binding on my Nested Churn Dash mini. I decided to have a solid instead of the smallest churn dash and was not sure of this decision while sewing on the binding but now it is finished I am happy with it. It looks good on the TV cabinet!

I am working on my BOMs. These are the stars for the Aurifil BOM. They are so cute I made an extra. No idea what I will do with it.

Vice Versa BOM

Finally I have started my vice versa BOM. 8 months late but still better late than never!! I am using 15 different fat quarters instead of 5 colours. I am using the Kona sunset bundle I love so I think it will work.

This is Januarys blocks.

Aurifil BOM

Yay!! I got some sewing done. I have been working full time and have had the flu that has been going around so it has not been a good few weeks. I got this block done just before the end of the month but has taken me a few days to post it. I love how the blocks are turning out.

Just Because

One of my good friends in America, Miss Nancy sent me these lovelies in the mail. We call her Miss Nancy because there were 2 Nancys in the sewing group I was in. Nancy, Miss Nancy and 1 clicked and used to meet at each other houses to sew. Now we have all moved from St Louis so no more sewing together but Miss Nancy and I keep in touch. She has been to Australia a few times because one of her sons lives here. Anyway Nancy sent me a just because present recently and I love it. I love the zipper bag and I love that she made the felt accessories for me. I feel very spoilt.

My parents have built and moved into a brand new house after living in the same house their entire married life until now. I am flying to Perth tomorrow and will finally see it. I really want to make things for the house but decided to not do too much until I see it. Mum told me she bought yellow bar stools so when I saw this fabric at the Sydney quilt show I knew I had to get it. I made these 2 place mats to take with me. I just used the fabric as it is perfect. I have nearly a metre of it so I can make some more things later.

I used black and white fat quarters I had for the back.

Modern Maples

I finally finished my falling Maples runner made using the tutorial on Larks Crafts. Simple straight line quilting because everything else I tried didn't work.
