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!!

The Christmas Frenzy Begins

Every year I seem to get close to Christmas, thinking I won't make gifts... Then I change my mind... Am I the only one??

I've got Australian fabric here going begging. All I had to do was cut strips in different widths, cross cut them and join together, quilt them in a big strip (ooh, that would make a lovely table runner!!) them cut out the Christmas stocking shape...

And so I've made 2 Christmas stockings for non-Aussies in bright cheery Aussie
fabrics, and used overall Aussie prints on the back..

The only thing is, while I was looking for these fabrics I fondled quite a few more. I bet I can't contain myself despite all the jobs I'm meant to be doing!!

Retro-recycled Table centre

This gorgeous fabric was leftover from the 1950s dresses quilt... I thought my dear gf in Devon, England would like it as a table centre.

I backed it with a green bandana, and she uses it as a table centre.....

I forgot to take a photo of the completed project.... but I know she uses it, and it's loved.... xo

Temple Blossom and Gypsy Caravan

I am loving these tumbler blocks...

The selvedges say the fabrics are from the ranges Temple Blossom and Gypsy Caravan...

A great name for this quilt would be Gypsy Blossom I think.....

Karla is going to love this!!!!

Progress

Huge progress on Karla's quilt!

After using all the pieces that were already cut, I decided to use the tumbler ruler I've had in the drawer for quite some time now.... Ooh goody! Using new tools and old fabrics!

I feel like I'm having a cleanout by sewing this!

Such fun.... no plan.... just a growing quilt..
