Quick quilt :)

This is the quickest quilt top I have ever made :)
Started on Tuesday and finished this afternoon.... Now have to wait for the backing to come from FQS

Early morning sewing

I was up early this morning and inspiration struck !!!!
My Ruby layer cake is now sliced and ready to make the "Hidden Stars" quilt.
I'm thinking that this quilt will be for Miss Lily's bed .
Feels good to have it cut and ready to go, as I was having trouble deciding on which quilt to make . There are so many nice jelly roll/ layer cake patterns in my books :) Tis okay will just have to make another couple later on .....

Xmas story- Candle Pan

I have had a lovely sewing day today with Deb.
Block 2 - candle pan is now done. I loved doing the little berries in wool , I love working with wool !!!!
Now onto Baubles :)

Angels Block 1

May I present to you Angels Zoe and Prudence..... The first two in a line of Angels to be on show on this blog in 2012 .
I decided to go with Rural Jardin fabric for this quilt and I'm sure glad I did its just so pretty.
So far I'm up to date with Deb and my plan if attack on this quilt but it is only the first month :)
Back to school actually means back to busy around these parts which is okay I do like to keep super busy....so one more week of relaxation and then we are right back in the game ... Yay.

Christmas - Block 1

I have finished my first needle turn block....yay!!
Its very fun and I can't wait to continue on with the rest of the blocks.

Shaggy Finish!!!!

My finally finished Shaggy Blanket/quilt.
My thumb has only just recovered 2 weeks later from all the snipping.

I love this blanket its so soft and snugly it will be great in winter on the lounge.

This morning when i was taking pictures Lil wanted a picture taken with the quilt , how could i say no to that sweet little face.

Angels Story - Block 1

This is what angels Zoe and Prudence looked like this afternoon...., they were already to be put together and ironed down.
I have since fixed them up so they are now waiting for the stitchery and button holing .
I have been slack with my night time hand stitching ,so will have to get back into that - starting today.

Just Because

My darling husband came home from work yesterday with this beautiful bunch of flowers.....just because :)

They look so good on the dining room table .... He also gave me a smaller bunch from the kids which is on the kitchen bunch...aren't I lucky :)

Needle turn attempt

Before starting my A Christmas Story quilt I had to decide whether I would needle turn or buttonhole the appliqués .... So I thought I better see If I could Needleturn .

So pulled out some scrap and made myself a pear. I don't think I did too bad for my first attempt

So Needleturn it is :)
