Finished Projects

Thought I would try and catch up a little and do another post just to keep you informed of what I have been so "busy" doing. I attend a craft group at a local nursing home and we are having a fund raising stall at the end of November.  We have all been making little things to put on the stall and below are some of my contributions - coat hangers, apple & pear pincushions, phone covers. 

I have certainly had lots of fun making them, but need to do more.  

​While in Brisbane, I was given some gorgeous chilli fabric and have managed to do some lovely pot holders.  Guess what the family are getting for Christmas?

Ok, enough about those things -  back to the quilts.

While I was away, Lynda was busy completing more quilt tops.  The first was a lovely log cabin quilt from a class we both went to in Sydney with Barb and Mary from Me & My Sister Designs. We had a great time at the class - lots of laughs.  The fabric used is one of their new ranges for Moda - Hi De Ho.

The quilting pattern used is called Bowtique and looks great. I believe this is a special gift for a grandchild.

The second quilt has been sitting in my sewing room waiting for her to decide how she wanted it quilted. The quilt is a Bonnie & Camille Sampler and Lynda came down and spent the afternoon with me while I quilted it.  We had a great afternoon.

I thought taking the photos outside would give better colour, but the sunshine through the trees just makes it too difficult to get good pictures.  I will have to try something else.

I will leave it at that for now.  There are still more to come, so keep checking back to read all about it.

Happy sewing.
