couldn't stop :: had to keep going

after finishing the quilt top the other day, I wasn't ready to stop so I put a few of the little scraps together and made a dolls quilt for little miss goLdChaLK

a few of my favourite Liberty's - I love the light blue one with the tiny birds and the tiny leaves - so sweet.  I have a little treasured piece of it and it's in a couple of my quilts.  Every now and then you come across some fabric that you just fall in love with, you don't just like it or think it's ok - you love it.

pick your own berries

We went berry picking yesterday at Blue Hills Berries & Cherries, it is so lovely out there at Silvan, we came home with 2 kilos of berries, a mix of strawberries, blackberries & raspberries - all very delicious.  The order was for smoothies when we came home and I whipped up a berry cake which ended up being dinner...

quilt top is done

no dilly dallying going on here, the top is finished. I have enjoyed putting the top together so much - there were only one or two fabrics from the original pile that didn't make it in...

things are moving along

after having a couple of days off from the office job, this is the progress so far - I'd say 1/3 of the top is done - immense joy & great pleasure putting this quilt top together.  Just as well you can't see the table and surrounds,they're a little messy - one day I'll have a sewing room (in my dreams :))

a special heart

my little bells made this for me, sweet sweet little girl.

a new project :: do what you like qs quilt

I've been given a pile of fabric by my lovely friend Kylie to make a queen size quilt for her, the brief is as follows:-

* do what you like, squares & rectangles - no triangles though (agreed)

Yesterday a start was made trimming up some of the smaller treasured pieces, we'll see what today brings.

binding

things are moving along, the binding is now ready to go.

as with the quilt, this fabric is from the stash.
