Boy’z Quilt production line…..

March 9th, 2010

I think I have mentioned before that a few of my friends have had baby boys. I have now made 5 of these Boy’z Quilts, and these are the last 3.

I quilted these quilts all differently just to show you the different look.

Lovely new fabric bundles

March 8th, 2010

I was in the shop today working away while the weather was going crazy.

I had some fun making up some new packs. These would be great starter packs for some of Kellie’s patterns from Don’t look Know.

More new stuff

March 8th, 2010

We have had some new patterns and kits new in store.

The lovely Novelty squares quilt made out of the Kokka Cotton/Linen fabrics. A really simple quilt but I think it showcases the fabrics beautifully. I just quilted this quilt using a walking foot.

Sneak peak of my new quilt

February 27th, 2010

All in pieces still but you get the idea.

I have used the natural colour in the linen/cotton fabrics that we stock.
Makes for an interesting background and it is also fabulous to quilt.

Minkee dressing gown

February 27th, 2010

Number 3 niece, Chloe turns 3 tomorrow.

I have been busy making some clothes for the doll (kinder girl) that I made her for Christmas.

wendy-03

The first outfit that Wendy is wearing for you today,
is a ballet dress, complete with glitzy pink tulle.

wendy-01

now for some lovely striped pjamas, with a reversable top.

wendy-02

and last but at all least - a minkee dressing gown.

I want one too!

This new minkee design which is called raised stripe, is much easier to sew.
It doesn’t have the movement and stretch of the minkee dot.

New “Sugar” designed by Art Gallery Farics

February 26th, 2010

I love new fabrics and these have definitely been getting in my brain asking me to sew something out of them!

Help me think of a name and win some blocks

February 18th, 2010

I have just finished a new quilt, a scrappy nine patch. It is actually a queen size bed but as I am in a single at the moment, (well it was either the big bed or the sewing machine - guess which one I choose) I photographed it on that. Now my problem is…… what to call it.

9patch

So help me think of a name and if I choose yours you
can have my leftover blocks to get you started!

The lovely Kellie was teaching at Ballarat Patchwork last weekend, and I had such fun displaying all her quilts in our shop for the day.
It was the second day of a two day workshop, and I think all the
girls had a fabulous time!
