Christmas decoration continues

I am still in Christmas decoration mode, as I was without my sewing machine for most of December, and I went through absolute withdrawals!!!

This cute little dog quilt top is about to be posted to Mum at Deep Creek Quilting for professional quilting. I could of course quilt it myself, but I am posting quilts for the children, so why not ask her to do it also.

And with some more of the panel I have put together a little tablerunner.

It is so satisfying to be turning stored fabrics into precious pieces.

Mind you, I bought most of those spots and stripes after Christmas when my beloved handed me $100 and said "hey baby, I know you want to go to Spotlight to the sales, here, go get it out of your system", so I checked online and at 40 percent off fabrics I took the dog panel and a flower fairy panel with me to match colours... next thing, the dog panel has been cut up!!

 I've also made some oven mitt/pot holders and when all quilted and bound I will share the photos.

Hello mango season!

One of the things I love most about far north Queensland is mangoes at Christmas, by the bucket!

This is my first bucket load (they sell for $10 a bucket up here), and the first go in the dehydrator.

I can feel there will be a few buckets this season!

Starseed Towel

This handtowel is appliqued with the triple goddess in shimmery fabric. It's gone to its forever home along with the new release card deck "Goddess Dream Oracle". What a great match they are.

I've purchased a special pattern from Blackbird Designs with a quilt design "The Raven". The book contains the poem by Edgar Allen Poe, and some of my favourite ever motifs: ravens and pumpkins. I have decided to make it in muted colours to hang up in the house in October, before we decorate for Christmas. 

I think we are going to have seasonal decorating all year round.

All I've done is start the stems. Hee hee. I am using an ongoing grunge fabric for the stems, as I have no idea how much I need.

This towel in its stunning blue is so absolutely gorgeous.

I have appliqued a starseed woman on a shimmery fabric moon background.

All ready for a special bath ritual.

Another wee witch

This apron has a stunning denim base which is really roomy, comfy straps, great for larger sizer women also.

She is appliqued onto the apron in a sparkly orange/red fabric, matching my hair. Heheheeh

Triple moon drawers

I really think I will have to do a remake of this set of drawers.

This one was snapped up immediately. 

I love everything about it.

Even the sides with moon craters.

Totally need one of these for myself, and why not make another one?

Produce bags for the kitchen witch

My sewing machine has worked hard this year, and she is not sewing very neatly for straight stitching.

But a girl can't notice on mesh produce bags.

A very light triquetra charm is on each bag. 

Perfect for the kitchen witch/nature witch.

Welcome Christmas season

First go at Christmas wear, at the "welcome Santa" parade at one of the local shopping centres.

Gets us into the mood, and starting to get excited.

Master 4 is going to love Christmas this year!
