Craft Christmas

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

I made most of my Christmas present this year,
I try to every year but always run out of time.

A few sets of oven mits and pot holders (using insul bright), couple of pencils rolls (pattern from Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted gifts), some cute dollies and appliqued t-shirts. I also painted 4 canvases for my new nephew and I also made 3  Ooshka Babushka dolls.
( forgot to take a photos of the last two)

I have been spending my few days off making a quilt for
Angus (the new Nephew). It matches the canvases
I painted and I will take a pic of the whole room
once all finished.

Three New Patterns and Giveaway

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

We have been busy sewing and creating some wonderful new quilts.

The first is called Joshua’s quilt and this one
was designed by my Mum, Pam Jansen.
She wanted to make a simple and easy boys quilt
for some friends of ours who have just had a baby boy.
This quilt has been made using a quick method of making
flying geese so it is a quick quilt to piece.
Fantastic for using up those scraps – these fabrics
came from my ever growing pile of fabric at home.


Joshua’s Quilt
size: 122cms x 152cms

Next up is a quilt we called Goose Chase.
Once again this quilt uses the flying geese block but
this time we placed them in a block
using 8 of the units. I made this quilt using fabrics from
Rosalie Quinlan’s beautiful range of fabric called Sweet Broderie.
This also would make another excellent scrap quilt.


Goose Chase
size: 175cms x 175cms (69″ x 69″)

and last but by no means least, Pink Fizz Kaleidoscope.
I loved making this quilt, and can’t wait to make another using this fantastic
template from Marti Mitchell. I used her Kaleido Ruler to create this stunning
quilt using the  Sweet Broderie range of fabrics.
This ruler has so many possibilities with this design just being one of them.
I have quite a few more quilts designed in my head using this ruler.
This quilt has used just two blocks – hard to believe because of the
fantastic pattern they create. It is the same block design, with one block
using 8 different fabrics and the other used just 4.





Pink Fizz Kaleidoscope

size: 183cms x 183cms (72″ x 72″)

To be in the chance to win all three patterns,
including the Marti Mitchelle Kaleido Ruler,
tell me which is your favourite.

Leave your comment by Monday the
22nd of November 2010 to be in the running.
thanks, emma
