Fairy Godmothering

Finished just in time for Fairy Godmothering - this is the Flower Fairy quilt made for my sweet niece Savannah. She was born on 12.12.12 - exactly as predicted. I was in the city on the day of her birth and was there hours after she came into this world. 

I used this twinkly green flower fairy fabric that I had kept for my own little girl - and I can't be wrong. She is definitely mine.

Here, Savannah models the Christening dress I wore 37 years ago, while investigating the quilt made especially for her.

Green is the colour of the heart chakra. There is much love for you here Savvy. xoxo. I love you.

The Road

When a girl packs up her house and sells it, there is only so much quilting stuff she can carry around Australia with her... 

and so even though I have brought my treasured sewing machine (it's on the back seat, can you see it???), I am not sure how much use it will get for a while... As you can see the quarters are pretty cramped...

Stay tuned for some hand sewing, and crochet I suspect... (knitting is just too hot on my lap in this heat)....

One of my fav things...

One of my favourite things is when I have a photo of the quilt with its recipient, in situ.

This is Viola with her Basket Quilt. Look at her rosy cheeks! The colours in her room complement the quilt beautifully.....

I am so happy to see the quilt used and loved....... *warm fuzzies*

What a stunning model! xo Viola...

Posy

Perhaps Posy would be a good name for the little pony....

Should I name the bird too? And so this block is finished before the one with the tree has its berries...

I'm loving this soooo much....

My Little Pony

Oh this block makes me giggle so far!!

I never had a My Little Pony toy, but I remember buying the show bag. I loved the pink sparkly pencil case and accessories. I kept them in my grade 6 desk with my favourite pens and pencils inside.

My Little Pony always had a particular pattern on her bottom. For instance the Lucky My Little Pony would have a 4 leaved clover on her bottom...

What would be a good name for this one? Blossom?

The pretty rainbow in the sky is going to be a flower... I'm just going to let a name come to me...

Tree... Life....

This block is not quite finished..... It needs some berries and bird feet.

I'm mostly using Kaffe fabrics, mixed with Reece Scannell shot cottons and the tree is just from a fat quarter I've had for donkeys years.

The berries will be from dyed wool felt.

I'm loving this already. How perfect to start with birds in a tree, one of my favourite themes...

No wonder I've nearly finished it so quickly.

This quilt is definitely going to be a keeper...

Nothing and Something

There's Nothing like a new project... and that's really Something...

Instead of the traditional look, I'm going for bold and brights... transformation in progress.

Does your quilting go in cycles? I'm moving out of the reproduction range into the jewel tones. Oh, I'm loving the jewels at the moment... I'm wearing them, decorating with them, and I need to sew them....
