Ruby & Some Feathers....

Look who's come to live at my house......

Ruby by Bonnie & Camille

I just love it soooo much. It's a perfect companion for Bliss....

..............................................................

Today I have been doing some custom quilting. The quilt is another doilie quilt but this one has some great borders to do some pretty stitching in.

............................................................................

There hasn't been much personal stitching going on but I do a little bit every chance I get, like when the dinner is cooking and I have 2 minutes. It's amazing how much you can get done with lots of 2 minute spurts. I am fortunate that I have my machine set up all the time so I can just jump on.

(oops, this photo is a bit blurry...)

These fabrics have been cut into 10 inch blocks to go into a quilt for my niece for her 16th birthday. I have had the fabric for her for 3 yrs so I thought I had better get it done before she can vote.... ha...

..................................................................

I got the binding on this quilt. It is being raffled at the moment for a beautiful family that our Modern Quilt Guild has been doing some fundraising for. We are having a Sew-A-Thon on Sat Oct 29. It should be a great day with lots of prizes & games and also as much sewing you can fit into about 12 hrs. Maybe we should get a massage therapist to come along, some of us may need it by the end of the day.

Hope you are having fun  whatever you are up to..

Happy Quilting

So Busy.....

Soooo busy....

I have been machine quilting non stop for the last 2 weeks. It's not a bad thing and I love doing it but it's hard to be working at home and being able to see everything else that needs to be done.

Oh well, i guess the house work will be there no matter what... So on to what's important...

I have finished a quilt for my bed. It's really nice and Paul really likes it...

Sarah's quilt. It is massive and took 2 days to quilt. Although we did have a blackout at the end of the first day I was quilting so I didn't get as much done as I could have....

A nice all over leaf pattern....

The weekend saw Australia's favoutite car race, Bathurst, on the TV. Paul parked his butt on the couch for 2 days to watch it. This gave me time to catch up on some Farmers Wife blocks. I love doing them. I have heaps already cut out so I can just sit and sew them up when I get a chance...

Saturday was also Paul's birthday so I made his favourite, carrot cake, for him. It was so yummy!!!

I'm  busy but that's good.

I'm linked up over at Freshly Pieced.

A Helping Hand....(Machine Quilting)

The quilt I'm helping my friend with is almost done... It is all pieced, quilted and ready to bind. I can't show you the front but I have permission to show the back....

It's a great quilt, but you'll have to wait til March to see the front...

I love light quilting on a dark background. It looks really classy...

Charity Quilt.....(Machine Quilting)

I have had a hugely busy week.... Most of it was spent custom quilting  the Guilds charity quilt.

I am so pleased with how it turned out. It was worth the extra day it took, I love it....

Feathered background and scrolls on the kaleidoscopes

The person who wins this is going to be very lucky.
