Just a few things to show you ….

I hope you like lots of piccies cause I have a few to show you…
I want to show you what design I did for the Let’s Get Stitched weekend we had in Melbourne.
I called it Autumn Rose and lots of the ladies loved it.
Summer Love I stitched the embroidery design with Aurifil Threads Ne. 12 but it can be done in your favourite threads.

Next up is a paper pieced block I am doing…all up I will do nine of these and have done six, so three to go. Then it will be a lap size quilt. Of course with sashings and borders.

I have been doing A Bee In My Bonnets sew along and really enjoyed sewing this little quilt. I find its great as I can use up my scraps. 10256382_10202635782430581_7728632935212853321_n
This is the label for it and I am looking forward to quilting this one.

I am rather proud to show you that my design has been published in the currant issue of Homespun magazine.
I really loved sewing this and designing it and Susan was excited to be able to publish it. I think she wanted to keep it lol. Thanks for sending it back to me Susan :)

I had to have little Lady Bugs…some call them Lady Birds and also I crocheted a frill around the flower centres for a 3D effect. If you don’t crochet then just do appliqué.

As some of you know, I have got myself a new quilting frame and a new sewing machine just for being on the frame to quilt with.
This is my first quilt I done with it..  I have done some quilting on my domestic sewing machine but to have a frame is very exciting!
I just did an all over squiggle and didn't get frustrated like I do on my domestic one - much more room!!

Another thing I indulged in was making this cute little elephant. I have got other felt colours but just haven't got to making any more as yet.    10403252_10202654884228114_4405072408637131947_n
Well I hope you all are having a fab week and creating lots and finding lots to excite you. I have some exciting news to tell you but will tell you in my next blog post.
Hugs to all….
