A quilted quilt to show you.

I finally got my act together and took a photo of this quilt that I got back from Nat (from the Quilting Bug) who machine quilted it for me.
This quilt was a BOM from Debbie Mumm. It’s called Natural Wonders.
I really enjoyed doing it and Nat did autumn leaves all over it to compliment the quilt. With a border design as well.

I am now loving having my quilts machine quilted.
I love how the pattern just flows all over the quilt….Love it. I love the feeling of having something finished and looking good too.

The part on the very right is the backing fabric and that machine design is all over the quilt except for the very light part (middle) which is the outer border. Thanks Nat! I love it.
Nat is in Victoria and has a fast turnaround for all Edge to Edge quilting and is just the loveliest lady to deal with.

The time has come for me to take my Pin Cushion off for downloading for free.
Roonies Pin Cushion
I know a lot of you downloaded it and I do hope you enjoy sewing it and don’t forget to show me :) I love seeing what you all do with my designs.
If you missed out on getting it for free you can now buy it from my Etsy shop.
Also don’t forget to download the last BOM block for Flirting With Flowers and here is the finished quilt.
I am yet to write up the pattern for sewing it all together but I will get there.

Roonies Pincushion Pattern and other things.

If you have been over to the Among the Gum Trees blog you will have seen my Roonies Pincushion up in all it’s glory. Finally it was the big reveal..Yay!!

As you know Dawn put together the ‘Springtime’ quilt and she sent me and the other Gumnut girls some of the left over fabric.

After I thought about what sort of pin cushion I wanted to sew, I got creative and made this gorgeous pin cushion.

Roonies Pin Cushion

I felt it had to be elegant as that is what I think French General's *Rouenneries* fabric is….Elegant.

Gorgeous beads were added

and lovely lace added and a flower of course had to be used to ‘make’ the completed pin cushion.

Us ‘Gumnutters’ had so much fun doing our pin cushions and swapping them. I sent mine on to Judith who just loved it the minute she laid eyes on it ….that made me happy.

I have called mine ‘Roonies Pincushion’. As we all were calling the fabric Rounies…so I changed mine a little bit and made it Roonies.

This is now available for purchase from my Etsy shop.

I hope you like it as much as Judith and I do and tomorrow don’t forget to go to the Among The Gum Trees blog to see Blossom’s and Cheryl’s Pin cushions that they made.

Thanks for stopping by and hugs to all……Vicki
