Simple Abundance...

This weekend seemed as good as any to Quilt and Bind this Quilt.
This is the last Quilt made using this pattern for a while,
I won't say that I will never make it again, because this is a Fantastic Quilt pattern to make.... but I don't need another one for me!!!
This Quilt has been sitting patiently in the corner 
until it was one of the last left in the pile.

The Pattern is Wild Things by Camille Roskelly.

The Fabric is Simple Abundance by ThimbleBlossoms.
I’m really happy with how it has turned out!
 Why did I leave it so long?

This is also my hand stitching project at the moment...
The Kit came with Cosmo Threads which I am Loving!!!

Reunion has arrived and is in my Etsy Shop...

I came home from work to find a lovely box of Fabric waiting for Me...
One of the things that arrived is Reunion By Sweetwater.

I have listed a Fat Eighth Bundle in My Little Etsy Shop if your interested in owning it for yourself.

Sweetwater have outdone themselves again! 

 I have also listed some Terrain Jelly Rolls too....

Happy Sewing!

Half Square...

When I was at Urban Stitches I bought a Pattern called

"Charmed I'm Sure"  by Leanne Beasley.
In our goodies bag we got a charm pack from Lecian,
I also bought a matching one,
 so I could make the Table Runner into a Small Quilt.

 Yesterday Afternoon I started to make the Half Square Triangles.
 

One Charm Pack down One to Go!

Whilst Shopping Yesterday morning I found Border Fabric and a Solid called Jacaranda for the binding that matched perfectly.

I love It when a plan comes together!

On A Roll...

Yesterday I snuggled up with my Make Life Quilt and finished the Binding because it was such a miserably cold day, which may be hard to believe with the photos I have just taken in glorious sunshine!

I quilted with a Large Fan like Feather E2E.

This is a Pattern I designed myself using the Lazy Edge Ruler,

 A Jelly Roll And Yardage.

 I’m in the midst of Writing up a Tutorial which I will Post when finished...

This is my newest Project on My design Wall.

I am using the Hexagon Park Pattern from Moda Bake Shop

Fabric is Hometown by Sweetwater and a Blue Prima Solid from Spotlight called Slate.

What’s on your Design Wall?

Urban Stitches was Fantastic!!!!!

Urban Stitches 2011...

Last Weekend I went to Urban Stitches in Melbourne.

If you ever get to go to the event do it!

I had a fabulous time.

 

I bought home a fantastic goodie bag including full kits of 3 projects one from each designer.

This is Leanne Beasley’s Project and my Favourite!

This is the stitchery that is on the sketchbook folder
designed by Melanie Dekker of Melly and Me.

These are the first two blocks in an upcoming
 block of the month by Rosalie Quinlan.

 

We even got to see the Vignette Quilt and it is so pretty.

Sorry I didn’t take more photos to share;

 I didn’t have my camera with me only my phone, so please forgive the poor quality!

Why do I come home from these things with a list of new projects a mile long!

Another Retreat! I'm so Excited

I’ve been busy Quilting Quilts not making them...



Remember this?


I quilted this in a Dusty Pink with a Butterfly and Leaves E2E.



The next one is my Quilt,
 which I made using, the Lazy Angle Ruler.
I had heaps of fun making this Quilt there are so many
 possibilities with this ruler.

I should have taken a photo before it hit the Gammill
but I so excited the Machine was free to do one of my Quilts.

This weekend I'm off to Urban Stitches in Melbourne... Check out this Link to see a sneak peek of one of the projects we will be working on.

Scrappy Terrain...

Last weekend I went to a Retreat with some Quilting Buddies and had a ball!
I had such a good time I forgot to take any photos so I can only show you I achieved for the weekend.
This started life as a Terrain layer cake.

I matched two layer cake pieces together that contrasted with each other, then I cut each layer cake into a 3.5" and a 6.5" strips and swapped with the matching  piece.

 I did this with all 40 pieces.
I re-matched two contrasting layer cake pieces again, then turned each block 180 degrees,and cut these in Half,
and once again I swapped with the other matching piece.

When happy with the layout I sewed them together.
 The end result is this scrappy look quilt that went together so Quickly.

It is a Fabulous size Quilt but I'm going to wait for the Terrain Yardage to be released and will put some borders on it.
 Then It will be the perfect snuggling size!
My next project was a little slower!
I did a test block of Swoon before I cut into my stash of Fabric. I'm thinking of now doing it in my DS Fabric, but I will wait for the next release due in Spotlight stores at the end of the month!
