It's Done!!!

Licorice Fancy, that's what I've called it. It looks like a giant licorice allsort.

It is a large single size. I haven't measured it yet, but it's a great size.

A Busy Week

The last week has flown by. I have been busy organising projects for my classes that start the first week in Feb. I saw some of my Ladies today and they are excited that we have some projects to do this year.

I got some of them from other blogs, eg. Film in the Fridge & Crazy Mom Quilts.. I am also doing one of the Quilt-a-Long's from Crazy Mom Quilts with my classes. I hope they like it as much as me.

I have finished my Flea Market Fancy Quilt and will post some photos tomorrow when I can get them in the daylight. Yippee!!

String Piecing

Sun Hat

These are the samples so far. I have many more yet to do. Should keep me out of trouble.

Dancewear is also on the agenda. I have uniforms to do for a dance school in Sydney. The orders should start arriving in the next couple of weeks. Not my favorite thing to do but it helps me afford my fabric habit.

On the family front, I have finished school shopping and now I'm just waiting for school to go back. The boys have been good these holidays. I guess it's all the space they have around them. The happier they are the happier the Mumma is!!

Flea Market Fancy Quilt

I couldn't wait until it is bound. I have to show you a couple of pics before it is finished.
I think it is my favourite quilt so far. It is because of the fabrics. They are 12 fat 1/4s of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt. You can't get them anymore. I wanted to make a quilt that was mostly about the fabric rather than the blocks. A few of my ladies in class had done this easy pattern from Better Homes & Gardens magazine and I thought it would be perfect for this fabric. I teamed it with a licorice allsort stripe for the sashings and I think it looks great. I just finish quilting it with an all over large stipple ( my favorite at the moment) and I just have to bind it today.

I love it soooo much !!

Crafting Kids & Flea Market Fancy Quilt

Yesterday I was sorting out my fabric scrap box. I don't think I have ever done it in 10 years. The fabric was squished in there good and propper. As I was sorting I was throwing some bits I didn't want to keep in the bin. It didn't take long for the boys to find the scraps and get "making". I love that my boys like doing the things I like as well. They are all really creative.

Oscar glueing fabric before he stitches it together. He is making an arty cushion cover.

 

Ethan looks right at home at a sewing machine. Lucky their father is open minded.

I have just started quilting this top. The blocks are made from Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt. I will do a post with more detail about this when it is finished.
