01 May 2013

Last month I was hoping to get quilts finished in April, that didn't happen. I made some fun little things though:

ring cushion, pop flower coasters, bandana bibs, sunglasses case


I am super pleased with them all and I'm also loving all the projects I've got on the go. I think having less time to sew has made me focus, I'm enjoying keeping up with my bees and getting blocks done each month. Little bits keep me busy.

My current focus is getting this made into a little giveaway prize for the Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway day, be sure to come back here on Monday!


And I have finished the DP quilt top for Cindy, the gorgeous fabrics are from Fluffy Sheep Quilting and I shall be quilting this beauty very soon! Sorry I haven't had time to press it yet but you get the idea, I used this pattern from Moda Bakeshop.


I also got some goodies in the post, I won a half yard bundle of Kona Modern Quilts in the pacific colourway from Tammy at Marmalade Fabrics:


Thank you Tammy! I'm looking forward to cutting this up and making something fun! I would love to find a good quilt pattern to show off the prints, any ideas?

So Fresh and so clean

01 May 2012
Unfortunately both kiddies are poorly, which has resulted in LOTS of cleaning here. yuck.  I'm hoping this month will bring more sun and they can fight off these viruses.

It's a new month and I'm feeling really positive about it. My mind is running at 100mph and I have so many things I'm looking forward to making but for now here's what I did in April...



I'm chuffed with the bright colours and fun stuff I've done this month. Only one quilt finish, the Pezzy quilt but I'm hoping to get the Stained QAL finished up soon.

I loved making Catherine's name tag and doing embroidery for the Fat Quarterly retreat swap.

I was happy to make my first little pattern for the Big Polaroid mini quilt I made, as well as my first tutorial on how I piece my blocks. I also made cushions for the first time and even conquered invisible zips!! (it's not hard when you have Helen helping you!)

I also announced the next Fugly Fabric Party and my first sponsored giveaway, thanks to Prints to Polka Dots - it's a good un'!

Charm About You

The Fugly party kicks off on 8th May (*just realised that is in ONE week, get ready!!*) and I'm really excited about it :)

I have a good feeling about May (is it just that the retreat is getting closer?!) and hope you all have a wonderful month!

Going to look what you've all done in April and link up to Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day:
