rainbow log cabin quilt

06 September 2013

I'm completely in love with this quilt.

From deciding to do something different (for me), to having fun piecing it and seeing the end result be so cool! I loved each block but even when I laid them out I didn't know if it worked. The grey eyelets from 'Flea Market Fancy' by Denyse Schmidt was the perfect choice for the rainbow blocks and, for me, the final touch that made me fall in love.






There's so many fun little fabric pieces in each colour block and my kids loved pointing them out!

The back is a Jay McCarroll print that I've used before, it's a nice vibrant blue with pink squares.



It is quilted in diagonal straight lines using Aurifil 50wt.

Gotta love the quilty goodness draped on the chair my Nan gave me (which I've re-cushioned and thought about recovering but I've grown to love the vintage shininess of it!).



You can buy this quilt in my Etsy shop now

quick WIP

21 August 2013
I'm in the flow right now, sewing and quilting whenever I get the chance... so a quick update today.

Bee blocks:

These scrumptious ones, complete with my embroidered siggy block for Nicky



This eye catching block for Ange - I have to apologise though, she wanted a couple of white 'beams' and I accidently hurriedly sewed them together and made one big white bit!! I'm hoping she's ok with it?! 



Next up another cool paper pieced block for Janine... good summer holiday task for the kidlet, ripping the paper off the back!


colours didn't show up well - that is blue and pink!!

Finally a fun log cabin block for Lisa with some of my favourite scraps.


I've been busy making my improv log cabins too. I think I could do these forever but these will make a nice baby quilt so I'm going to piece them together and have fun looking for backing and binding fabrics!



**The Simplicity pattern giveaway is open until tomorrow**

*** A reminder that You've Lost That Loving Feeling starts this Saturday - so get gathering your fugly fabric and unwanted WIPS!***

eyes are smiling

14 August 2013

 I'm working on some improv log cabins


LOVE making these




I took pictures of my children's eyes. To me they are magical and speak volumes about who they are.
 'Windows to the soul' is true.






In case you missed it Laura and I are teaming up for two great link parties on 24th AUGUST 
- a perfect opportunity to destash or pass on those WIPS or blocks you'll never finish. 

Read all about 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' and mark the date if you want to score some fabric!
