Glorious!

Here is the Mini I received from Fissiet/Liliane
Every element I love
It is truely GLORIOUS!

finished, sent and received!

I've finished the little Sampler Quilt for Liliane in Luxemburg!
I just had to change 1 block which didn't suit,
I also used Perle 8 for the first time
Wow, was it easy to use, and looks really effective

And to my big girl who once again has injured herself
It's healed amazingly well in the 10 days since it happened
I can't bear looking inside
I'm pretty sure 2 teeth went through!

DQS6 and another little project

I've started working on my Sampler Quilt
for the 6- 12" mini group
the blocks are approx. 3" each
my partner likes colorful things
so hopefully this will be to her liking

This is the finished quilt for Doll Quilt Swap 6
my partner loves 1930's repro's
I'm hoping he or she will like how this came together
I'd like to make it in a larger scale next time

the gorgeous vintage shell buttons came to me in a previous swap
and were perfect for the flower centers

guess how much I love you?

This is the March swap quilt I made for QuiltinKimmie
The theme once again was Childrens Literature
This is my interpretation of little Nut Brown Hare
from the beautiful story book 'Guess How Much I Love You'
This is Sophia's favourite book, and is quoted daily in our house!

Fun Day Out... & a few other projects

Well, yesterday Janine and I went along to 'The Stitches and Craft Show'
There were many reasons to go, but one of the things I enjoyedthe most was meeting
Jodie and Louise
We saw Jodies' great selvedge projects, made a little liberty button brooch,
I purchased some cute cards and the most gorgeous fairy fabric for Sophias room.


I've now completed some blocks for The Bushfire Quilt Project. I think they are up to 50+ quilts!

Here is the gorgeous quilt that Kimmie sent me in the 6 -12" Mini Swap.
The theme for February was childrens literature,
Kimmie sent the quilt and three of the 'Frog and Toad' books for the girls to read

Inspired

For the January swap in our 6-12" mini the theme was
'be inspired by the quilts of Gee's Bend'
This is the mini I sent to Toni
ispired by this quilt

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed making it!

A little Mini from eggmoney!

These is a little tempter of the January mini I have made for 'TayLynnsbean'
The theme is to be inspired by The Gee's Bend quilts

and finally, this is how my beauty fell asleep on Christmas eve whilst waiting for dinner
We dressed her, popped her into bed,
and her sister had to wake her on Christmas morning at 7.30am

egg

This is the little quilt I made for the November swap themed 'words'
Originally I was going to have a profound word,
But couldn't go past this cute one

It is also a part of my partners tag 'eggmoney'

I quilted rows of eggs too!

I'm happy to say she is very pleased with it

6-12" Quilt Swap

Here is my gorgeous little quilt I received from 'Olivethebeach'
Look how vibrant the colors are!
We were in the minority who did mushrooms, 80% would have been owls.

For November the theme is 'words'
I have a few idea's floating round.

Now that it's arrived!

Here is the latest Mini that I sent to Olivethebeach.
The theme this month was Owls/Mushrooms.
I decided to go with the Mushroom/toadstool route.
What do you think?
