Crazy Busy....

It's all go around here at the moment. Paul has been preping the yard for our new pool, other earthworks to tidy the place up have been underway and then the rain arrived. OH what a mess. We are lucky that it dries out pretty quick.

On the sewing front it's been a bit slow this week. I have had a virus that causes extreme vertigo. I felt so dizzy, and I couldn't be upright for too long. It was horrible. It's getting better each day.
Before I got sick I had been working on samples for next years workshops that I am doing at the shop.

Here's a little taste of what I'll be doing.

These 2 blocks are part of an improv wonky sampler that I'm designing.



There is also a couple of quilts in the works for magazines that I would love to show you but unfortunatley you'll have to wait til they are published.

I should be back at the long arm tomorrow getting the last of the customer quilts out the door well before Chrissy.


Happy Quilting

She Loved the Quilt...

Yesterday was my niece, Charlottes, 16th birthday. I gave her the quilt I made for her and she was so excited. Apparently in the days leading up to her birthday she had mentioned to a few people that she was hoping for a quilt from her Aunty Leanne. You could say I made her wishes come true. She didn't even know I was making it!



Happy Birthday Char....

Love Aunty Leanne xo

Not much to talk about this week. I have just been getting stuff done. Above is the quilt for my Niece, it's quilted and just needs to be bound. I machine quilted it in a swirl pattern.



A close up of the quilting. This is a really fun and quick design to quilt. Of course it is easy for me quilting on Dudley the longarm....



The back of the quilt. It really shows up the swirl quilting. Purple is my Nieces favoutite colour, so this wideback was perfect for her.


This is a little something for my Mum for Xmas. It is made from Loulouthi by Anna Maria Horner. My Sister sent a bundle home to me so I could make this for Mum. It is actually already together but I haven't taken a photo yet. More of this to come soon....

I am linked up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced... go check it out...

Wot up! Wednesday......

I have been so slack with my blog. Sorry if you have been checking in to find the same old thing.
I have been really busy. So busy, in fact, that I have only had time to get on the computer to check & send emails.
I have been crazily machine quilting, writing patterns, doing samples, making a birthday quilt for my niece and setting my calender for classes/workshops next year.  Not to mention the start of Xmas shopping!!

Below is some photos of what I have been up to....


Jan's yummy little quilt that I machine quilted with the giant paisley....
