Another clever customer, this time ani & trio, who make these gorgeous hand made quilts. A gorgeous use of the Maggie’s Dress fabric by American Jane. Thanks for sharing that with us Anita!

Now this one was a long time coming- because I have always worked from my notebook and now I have a mac, I had to work out how to upload pictures on a mac. I know it’s not that hard and it’s sad but true, I have struggled to find the time to aquire this new skill. Priorities!!!

I’ve been promising kinder some new art smocks for over a term now (I was going to get them done last school holidays, oops!) I made the first two fine and they are much loved and paint spattered by now. Well, finally here are the last two.

Plus, I have two quilts on the go (yes, now I know I’m just bragging, or rather confessing as I often start these things and then they don’t really get finished very quickly).

I hope all this creativity inspires you to begin a new project (or finish an old one!)

I just adore this image- I absoloutely want an aqua room with a butter yellow armchair!

I’m so inspired, I want to drop all my work and go get pumpkin’s quilt top that I promised to finish him for his fourth birthday (he’s five now, by the way.)

If you’re very clever, you may notice some of the fabric that’s available in the shop. If you’re feeling all re-craft-ergised like me you could pop over and buy some!

That’s what I love about us… we’re always open!

For all you quilters you can find our Bias Binding here.

So what do you think? Digital camera course earlier this year and a whole lot of practice with GIMP… hopefully these pics are starting to represent just how nice this bias binding is!

This one has a pram quilt I made with my own two little hands.

PANDA is such an important charity, helping families who find themselves vulnerable and in desperate need of support. I’ve wanted to do something ongoing to support them for some time now. This has been a very inspirational kick up the bum to do that.

Thanks to Shannon for the enormous and fabulous effort and for the opportunity to contribute!

And some more?

Photographed some of my products today too, to see how they’d turn out for the store. Some more successful than others but there’s definitely a few I’ll find some use for.

All of a sudden I was quilting any free chance I had and would carry it around with me in my nanna’s old knitting bag. I hand pieced my son’s “Lila” quilt top and had it machine quilted. I am so happy with how it turned out!

I have since hand pieced my older son the same quilt “Lila” in a different colour scheme (he loves green!). I just need to find that last push to finish it off so I can get it quilted!

I then made my brand new nephew Aden a wee bassinet sized quilt top with all the bits and bobs I had left over from the boy’s “Lilas”…

… my friend Victoria’s little girl a wee quilt (I’m addicted!)…

… my booba boy a wee quilt for his cot…

… my big pumpkin a wee quilt for his teddies…

… a couple for my etsy store…

… and one as a special commission for teeny tiny Owen (work in progress!)

All my other products have snowballed from these first quilts. I now make birdie mobiles, covered notebooks, rosette brooches, hair clips, button rings, flower rings, door stops and lots more products in the pipeline! You can visit my etsy store, where I send all my lovingly handcrafted goodies all over the world. I am also lining up some local markets to sell my products direct. Watch this space…
