I'm Bad...

I'm Bad...

I really wasn't going to buy these!

I kept telling myself I could live without...Apparently I cannot...

I wasn't sure I liked the latest installment of Birdie Stitches,

but I have to admit it has grown on me since I have finished it!

Helloooo!

Meet Mr Owl...

 Remember when I won this from SewCraftyJess?

 Well I purchased another 3 charm packs this is what I came up with...

A while back I bought Whooo loves you?  A Quilt Pattern by Brenda Riddle, because it had the cutest owl on it.

 This was my first attempt at raw edge applique and I must say that I really enjoyed every moment.

It has inspired me to give Kellie's patterns from Don’t look Now a go!

I have also finished my 2 blocks for Birdie Stitches so I can now say I’m up to date Yay!!!!!

May is definitely my favourite block so far....

Sorry for the Dark Photos, Rainy Day here!

 All it's good for is...

Pathetic I know!

Birdie Stitches Block #2

March is nearly here!

I decided to take this block slower but this is ridiculous....

Now I'm ready for Block #3.....

 I won't dawdle on next month... Promise

Fat Quarterly are having a coloured theme every month and next month's colour is Violet/Purple..
As you all know it's my Favorite colour so I thought I would share one of my entries for their mosaic..

The colours range from Blue, Green, Yellow and of course Purple
This is an Evening Bag...   



Made out of  variegated hand dyed Velvet and Felt then embroidered.
The Flowers are made with ribbon and fishing line.


It's called Monet which is part of

Birdie Stitches Block #1

Here's the completed block....

Sooo Cute!!!

 I have used Central Park which happens to contain My Fave Colour of all time

Purple... 

Why do so many ranges avoid using Purple?

 Not enough Purple I say!!!!! 

I am Trying to Complete a few UFO's at the moment, Lots of Attaching Binding which is not so good now the Temperature has reached the 30's Celsius .

Seems silly have the Air Conditioning on and sitting Under a Quilt...

Quilters are Mad! (In a Good Way) :-)

Happy 2011...

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, I know I did!

I feel invigorated to create and have been happily doing so...

Starting with Little Miss Shabby's Birdie stitchery block of the month.

I have decided to use  a Central Park Jelly Roll

 for the 2.5" squares and will strip piece them.

These are my DMC Colours....

I have also cut into my Sherbet Pips Layer Cake...

I Love this line it's sooo cute...

I am using the Boxed in Pattern from Moda Bake Shop
