Latest Projects

Well I have been a busy bee of late, trying to get some UFO's out the way. Because I do a lot of hand piecing this is proving to be very timely on seeing anything finished on time, so I decided to run up a couple of quilts just to get me enthusiastic again with my sewing.

This Rag quilt I run up over a weekend, enjoyed making this very much as we had some cold weather in Perth and it was nice to have something warm on my lap whilst sewing

The Cat also thought this was worthy of a new home for her with the sun coming in the window and a nice new snuggly blanket. She looked soo comfy that I could not finish cutting the seams for the shaggy affect, will have to wait till she moves. :)


Today I have just about finished a UFO I started early in the year but got pushed aside for other projects. This was made from a Jelly Roll & some fabric from my stash for the cream fabric




Finished putting together now for the borders to go on



Next I have been doing some Paper Piecing from the new Brigitte Giblin Book " Feathering the Nest with Vintage inspired quilts"
I have started the Norfold Island Quilt and so far this is as far as I have got, very small hexagons make up the centre of the medallion...Slow process, but an enjoyable one as its nice to have a change to do a pattern with the hexagons.




I spent the weekend an hour from Perth at an apartment in Mandurah. My hubby had a darts competition so I thougth this would be a perfect time to get stuck into doing some more medallions while he played darts.

This is the view I had on the first day, with lovely weather  to stitch too.


But the second day the skys opened up and it was inside off the balcony and in front of the TV




Until next time, I am back to my Studio to finish some more UFO's
Until next time for more show & Tell
