Rag Rug-a-Long

emma — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:51:33 +0000

I’ve been watching Jodie’s Rag rug grow and have been getting
a wee bit jealous. So with my heaps of spare time I have decided
to make one of my own.

Only a little bit more to go……

rag rug people joining in here.

A Patchwork Couch Cover

emma — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:49:11 +0000

I am slowly finishing all the decorating in my little house
out the back of the shop.
I have always wanted to make a patchwork cover
for my couch but just never got around to it.

During the days off around Christmas I started
to make one. First I had to join all the strips
and then make them into pieces to fit the couch.

It did end up taking much longer but I did make
my own piping and the whole cover is lined in muslin.

I love it!
Now to do the chair…….

Quick easy t-shirts

emma — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:26:57 +0000

Found mum working on these t-shirts for Christmas presents.
Mum uses liteweft to stabilize the t-shirt
when sewing the applique on.

The car pattern is from Kellie’s
Peak Hour Quilt pattern.

This is a fabric we sell,
mum just fussy cut the owls out.

Mum uses a button hole stitch on her machine
to sew the applique onto the t-shirt.

A really cute one made using
Woodland Fabric designed by Natalie Lymer.

A Year in Quilts

emma — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:06:20 +0000

I thought it might be nice to see what I have been working
on for the last 12 months and I was a bit shocked to find
that I hadn’t made as many quilts as I thought.

Then I remembered I made 2 Harlequin Stars Quilts and
also my new pickle dish quilt. These were very time consuming quilts!

The first Harlequin Stars quilt,
which was raffled and raised money for Vic Quilters.

My new nephew Angus got a quilt.

Noah’s quilt. I actually made two of these!
The original going to my friend’s baby
and the other for the shop.

Scrap Dots and Spots.
I still love this quilt and would like
to make another using different colours.

I even designed some cushions in 2011!

The 2nd Harlequin Stars Quilt.

Rainbow Circles.
A quilt I orginally designed for Quilters
Companion Magazine using a layer cake.

The pretty Poppy’s Quilt.
This ended up being the inspiration
for the Woodland Circles Quilt.

Pickled Orange Peel
The pattern for this quilt will be available
later in the year in Quilters Comapinion Magazine.

and finally Woodland Circles.

What a year!
Looking forward to 2012
and of course lots more quilts!!!
