A couple of new patterns

Just thought I would show two of my designs that have been published.

I will have these available from my store as patterns very soon for those who don't get these magazines that they are published in.

The first one is Daisy Buds. I did this with waffle fabrics and love how it turned out.

Fabulous lap quilt and lots of easy instructions and diagrams. I like to have diagrams to explain the process as I think it makes it just that bit easier to understand the patterns.

This one was fun with piecing and applique and I machine appliqued the flowers on to the quilt.

Issue 11 No. 12

This one I had such fun sewing and creating as it has stitchery, applique and piecing…Plus Prairie Points. Loved it! and looks great on a coffee table.

This one I called Peppermint Creams…cause of the cream and green fabrics. Would look great in pinks…

Issue 12 No. 1

Did you enjoy watching the Wedding yesterday? I loved watching it and Kate was so beautiful and William was very handsome. I am sure Di would have been very very proud of her son. How did I know Kate was going to have lace on her wedding dress??? Mmmm…it was beautiful. Loved it all.

Just some things.

Do you like different fonts too?

I found a few today and decided to put them onto my computer.

This one is

interesting as it

has Shabby Roses

on it…sweet.

I got myself a Toshiba 17” Laptop the other week and I love it! I can even have EQ7 on it too which is a big plus.

Why is it that when we take photos of our laptops, that we have to have our blog page open on it? LOL.

I mostly got it to take to Western Australia when we go over for my son’s wedding. That is now 2 and a half weeks before we fly off….getting closer and closer.Anyway…I got a carry bag for it but I felt I had to give it a little coat to give it extra protection. I had these two stitched blocks in my UFO box of things and thought…now all I need are some strips and padding and then I can make this…This is one side

and this is the other side

I had fun with it as I did some machine quilting on it and it’s a nice cosy sleeve for my laptop to sleep in now.

I also had fun today as I learnt how to make a Brush in my Adobe Photoshop…see it on the pictures?

I have often seen them on people pictures and wondered how they did them…well I did a google and up comes these very helpful people that show you how to do it.

Have you seen my last post with the ‘Hot Potato’? Check it out…you still have time to enter and hopefully win the darling little pattern.

A few of you have been asking me if I have got my outfit for my son’s wedding…

and Yes I have :)

I was mostly concerned about getting shoes as I have a lot of trouble getting shoes to fit my feet, but I have got some and they are lovely ..well I like them. I love the dress and jacket I got also and so I am ready for the big day. Well…I still got to make my hair a nice colour instead of this airstrip colour that I have and also I am treating myself to a manicure and get my nails done French style :) Oohhh la la :)

Hugs to all……..Vicki
