Quilt

Made this quilt for my mom for a belated Mom's day: (love this fabric)

And of course Kitsy does approve!

Hearts

I have been busy - and quickly need to post these, before the next 'busy' grabs me.

For Mother's day I made 200x lavender-filled hearts for a crèche. The kiddies put their handprints on the hearts too:

Then for the restaurant, I made 70x smaller hearts for give-away on Mother's day:

 

 

Knee-size quilt

I'm very excited, I spotted this fabric over the weekend and have decided to quilt it for a really special someone's bday coming up.  I'll publish the finished product once I've completed it. I'm about 1/4 of the way - I'm topstitching every block, but with the quilt-stitch on the machine.  it does go much quicker than hand topstitching, however it's still a back-breaker :-). Loving every minute!!

Finished quilt

Orchid

I received this orchid from Ken, about a month ago. I'm very chuffed with myself I haven't managed to kill it off yet :-)

Whilst sewing my daughter Calin, found my fabric pen and decided to leave a message on my t-shirt: :-)

Car Tidy

I've been wanting to make this for a long time and finally got to it.  I think it is such a cool idea to tie onto the back of one of the front seats for baby/toddlers toys; bottles; sippy cups; etc etc.  The only thing missing here is i'd like to add embellishments - however, I don't want them too finicky, because I want to be able to just throw this in the washing machine, when it needs a wash and not worry too much about finicky embellishments. 

Now my daughters have cottoned onto the idea and they'd like tidies for inside their cupboards for underwear or socks..... so that is the next step......

Quick Weekend Sewing

I've been dying to make the shaggy quilt - but because I didn't have a lot of time, I only cut 4 blocks to sew together and see how it would come out.... i'm very pleased with the results:

Roxy has to try out her new quilt too :-)

Little Aprons

I made 5 of these little aprons for my daughter Calin. She's started a little business where she baby-sits children.  Their parents go to Al Fiume restaurant for lunch and Calin is baby sitter to all the littlies while mom and dad have a lovely lunch alongside the Hennopsriver.  I made the aprons so their clothes are protected whilst they are finger painting or whatever else messy they may get up to:

I added a little pocket to each little apron.
