Two for one

What could be better than a beautiful quilt?

A two-sided quilt with very very different sides!!!

I knew from the beginning when I started making this quilt that it would be for a special friend, Priya. After I'd made the front of the quilt, I asked Mum to quilt butterflies on it... (Priya loves butterflies)....

The other side with the endearing Om symbol is special for us both - we are yoga family.

 

Love you Priya!

Fairy godmothering

Soon I'll be a Fairy Godmother... My little niece will wear my christening dress when she's grown a bit... Aww...

And what does a Fairy Goddaughter need? A fairy quilt.

I love these fabrics. Green is the colour associated with the heart chakra and unconditional love.

This is the gift I give as Fairy Godmother. Unconditional Love....

The binding is made, the backing is joined, the label is attached.

Ready to be quilted by my Mumsy, and I'm thinking I'd like bubbles all over it.

Messing about

Oh! The pleasure of sewing with no fixed pattern, no prescriptive instructions, and no need to write down the instructions so that someone else can follow it.... yippee!!


Going with the flow, and the flow is going..... ah.. this is the back of Karla's retro 70s quilt...

and now I'm ready for it to be quilted... (thanks Mum, love you!!!).....

Dick and Jane - the first one

There has to be another photo of this little quilt somewhere. I made it in 2008 as a sample. It has Dick and Jane in a sawtooth star, with log cabins around the outside.

This is the little boy who now loves it. Thank you Riley. You are a treasure. xo

Loving and Using Quilts

Hello Savvy! Aunty Lozzy loves you! 

Check you out on your little Raspberry Cream quilt....

Ooh, there's nothing better than seeing quilts you've made being used and loved. xoxo

Happy Jack's update

Oh Jack! You make me clucky! I love to see you playing happily on your quilt. What a lovely baby boy. I love you! xoxoxo

Zippies

I think I just mentioned I wouldn't be able to contain myself... And I couldn't!!

I had a $7 panel of Australiana design... What to do with it??

I've made an iPad zippie bag, another pouch for a tablet, and another for an iPod.

These were so easy and fun. They use hardly any fabric...

I'm moving interstate soon, and I've given away about 6 garbage bags of supplies... I'm looking at the fabric I have, making little things ... And noticing I've only used a handful of fabric bits. I think I can safely say I have enough fabric to keep me well occupied for years!!
