Whoops I'm late

Well better late than never, a quiet but busy week, a little sewing, Our guild had a sale day so I was trying to finish a few of the little zippered bags I make, and also tried a pattern for a little lunch sack come gift bag , they are quite cute and would make a nice gift with something in them.

I also made another 2 or 3 sweet treats bags

This one out of kaffe Fabric, still needs a button.!

More Little Lunch Sack Gift bags .

Ive also been doing the binding on my Posh quilt, and I now have more Kaffe Fasset lights to make the Kaffe Quilt bigger.

Some of the other bags I forgot to take photos and now they have gone. I also did a couple of Jane blocks but no photos of them either ....

Another week another Friday.!

Well I came home on Wednesday after 4 lovely days of fun, eating, laughing, talking and some stitching, with a group of 20 ladies at Coolum,I decided to start a new project even though we call it a      

UFO Retreat.  I took my collection Of Kaffe Fasset fabrics and made a Turning Twenty with a Twist Quilt well the rows are done but I have decided to make it bigger so had to wait for some morelight coloured fabrics, they came today so now I can finish it. These are some of the fabrics The blocks before I cut them The rows laid out on the floor, I have decided to add another row to make it wider. Out of some of the scraps came this little Sweet Treats Bag.

I also made a little zippered pocket drive or Nintendo bag but I haven't got a photo will add one tomorrow.  Also did some Jane blocks , and another Stable Bag that is waiting for it's Handle and cord.!

Also need to have a brag and flaunt of my little grandaughter who is now walking  and very cute . Miss Talula, I have some more pics I'll add tomorrow as they are in the lap top.!

Late Friday Flaunt

  Well its early Saturday morning and after a busy week am now relaxing at Coolum 20  Girls 5 days of stitching No cooking cleaning  or men allowed. Had a fantastic Baked Italian chicken and veges For dinner followed by orange and almond slice for me (gluten free.!)

This last week I finished a big baby bag, which the reipient was thrilled with and I did a matching bib.

I also quilted 2 quilts on the frame, the  first one belongs to a friend who gave it to me to practise on about 18 months ago.!! Well i did it for her as she is here at Coolum this weekend. She loved it Its a very pretty quilt a big Lap size

Tis one is for our caravan, made from Fran' From Tasmania's instructions . We made these tops at the last retreat her I still have to bind it and the decision last night to bind it in a dark Red.

This is   about queen size  I love this fabric Chez Mois Posh by Moda. I will put it in the caravan.!

Its beautiful up here and we can see the Ocean and its a glorious morning. lets hope lots of sewing gets done.!

Friday Flaunt.!

Well this week Iv'e been shopping, and stitching,  I made this little bag from a Moda Aviary sweet roll, Like a jelly roll but only 1.5 inch wide, I have enough for 3 more of these from the same roll.It's quite clever as the outside becomes the inside so it's all nice and neat, a nice makeup bag, or sewing kit, or... what ever you want.! 

Ive also spent a couple of days working on some challenge blocks for My Sewing Sister's group. We meet once a week and often have projects we all do, this one we were given a swatch of fabric and we had to use the red colour and as many of the other colours as we chose to do 10 blocks all of contrary wife, now we all get one from each other and have to have a quilt completed by December, It is amazing how different everyones blocks are.

These are my blocks . Next week after I get the others back I'll show you a photo of them all.

I've Been Shopping

This week I went with friends  to Quilters store In Brisbane, and Peppermint Stitches at Toowong, So much fabric to choose from I bought a few delicous Kaffe Fasset Fat 1/4's and some yardage for a border, this is what I bought...
