A Bit Carried Away....

I spent today on Dudley custom quilting. Sam needs it for this weekend so it need to be done fast but whatever I wanted to do was fine. As always, once I set up to do custom I just can't help myself. It's a sampler quilt so I tried to do each block differently and I also did some designs I haven't done before. It's turning out great. I'm about 2/3 through it. I hope Sam loves it like I do....

Another full day should see it finished. I might have to go for a massage after this one...

Happy Quilting

No Time To Scratch....

Boy, when things get busy they sure do get busy. And I'm really bad at saying no to things. I don't like to let people down so when Sam asked me if I could custom quilt her quilt for her in 1 week of course I said "Sure thing, no problems". Now I'm in a real rush and having to bump all the quilts along the list. Oh well, it will be really nice once it's done and I have met another lovely lady to call a friend.

I will have photos of this quilt soon, but until then I have a couple of other quilts that I have just finished.

The first one is my wonky sampler. It is quilted and bound and ready for next weekends Central Coast Charity Quilt Show. I am doing a demonstration on improvised block construction, so if your in the area drop in and say Hi.

All finished...yay...

Yummy wavy quilting.Very simple but effective and fun to do.

I used 3 different colours to quilt it..orange, teal & baby blue...

The second quilt is a very special one. A good friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. After a couple of surgeries she started chemo this week. I made her this quilt to let her know I'm thinking of her and if she wants she can take it with her to treatment.

It's made from a layer cake so it was really quick to put together. I had it pieced one day and quilted and bound it the next day. A great short notice quilt.

Hope you love it Kath...

I quilted it with a freehand allover swirl... I love it...

 This Heather Bailey Freshcut fabric was the perfect binding....

Hopefully I will have more photos tomorrow

Til then

Happy Quilting

Bits and Pieces...

My Wonky Sampler quilt top is together. Just need to do some wonky quilting and it's ready for my demo at the Central Coast Quilt & Craft Show.

In my Thursday sewing class at All About Sewing, Sarah made a mini version of my Audrey Apron pattern for her daughter. She is 18 mths old. Isn't it adorable !!

( This pattern will be available for purchase soon )

In the Quilting Studio, I have just quilted Rhonda's yummy quilt...

.....with this fun to quilt double curl...

It looks great with the red thread on the off white background.

I have tonnes to get done, so til next time...

A little something I'm working on. It's an improvised wonky sampler.

I am doing a demonstration on improv blocks at the upcoming Wyong Quilt Show. Later in May I am teaching this quilt in a BOM class at All About Sewing.

Sorry for the photo quality. I took it with my phone....

The blocks still need the white around them. I love blue and orange together.

Have a Happy Easter.....
