Text of the page (random words):
r to choose one rather happy for me to use the same pattern as the one owned by me you can see it in the picture this pattern is called take 12 fat quarters quilt or quillo and was designed by deb thompson of the old german quilthouse in geelong vic which has closed down so i just need to buy four more fat quarters or 30 cm strips in my case and i can start this quick and easy quilt yes i know i wasn t going to start anything new but my bf has known me more then 20 years and never even hinted for a quilt so i figure she deserves one sooner rather then later this is a poor quality photo the colours are not this dark of a quilt i made with my mother for my grandmother my mothers mother about eight years ago i had been quilting for a few years but my mother was fairly new to patchwork when i proposed this quilt so we made half the blocks each but to ensure uniform sized blocks we used paper foundation papers from the quilters barn vic the idea was to use up pink and green fabric from our own stashes so the quilt matched the colours of my grandmothers lounge room my grandmother passed away in early september aged 95 and my mother now has the quilt i am glad we made the quilt but i regret that we didn t make it in her favorite colour turquoise my grandmother was a very creative lady and made me the most wonderful outfits for my barbie dolls i had grandma s precious bernina sewing machine up until last yeary and i was delighted to pass it onto my cousin the only other granddaughter and youngest grandchild who is also very creative and is pursing a career in the fashion industry this quilt was made by my mother and is an original design that came about from participating in a groups challenge the decision by their group coordinator to make a row quilt with different instructions each month was a good one as it made the maths a bit easier i love this quilt although i am not a kaffe fasset fabric fan and in particular the colourful braid borders i think this type of challenge is a very good way to learn new skills and extend yourself as a quilter so after a nice long weekend with my family i need to get back to the grind stone and see if i can squeeze some more quilting in this week while ds is home on school or in our case kinder holidays at october 05 2010 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest what next two weeks ago my fellow quilters went on a shop hop what a great way to spend a sunday we had scheduled a visit to three shops the first two in mclaren vale the patchwork cow and mallee country crafts and gifts and the last in brighton patchwork by the sea because i had already left dh with the boys the day prior i just visited the first two shops and these are my purchases the rainbow of fat quarters have been cut into and attached to my herb embroderies as sashing and the pink on left is now the backing i found suitable fabric for a border in my stash surprise surprise and attached that last week at 6am when everyone else was asleep there are good reasons you wake up before the kids so its all pinned quilted in the ditch and i am just pondering how to quilt the borders the cream print with red stars is in the cupboard with the other cream red prints i am collecting for a log cabin quilt when i finish more of my ufo s so now i have to decide what to tackle next hmm please note my side bar as i have been making amendements to completed and ufo lists eg harvest table runner will not be getting anymore quilting the end of the year is too close this is the challenge quilt i started with eastwood quilters nsw perhaps in 2006 there were nine instructions of which i can find only 8 please help karen which were 1 start with a star done that 2 add a nine patch outstanding 3 try semininole done that with the emphasis on try 4 add something floral started that 5 add some diamonds well i am going to cheat and say they are in the star 6 frame it outstanding 7 curves outstanding 8 stripes in two colours yes under the floral applique and 9 well i dont remember exactly but we either moved to adelaide before i got the last instruction or i have just forgot to write it down either way i have drafted a picture of what i want to do on the next two borders incorporating 2 6 7 but would like to know what 9 is before i start these four pointed star blocks were a gift from the eastwood quilters for our wedding so i would really really like to make them up as we will celebrate five years of marriage this month i have tried the red cream patterned fabric top centre has been cut into and i sewed it all together on point only to decide it looked awful so i unpicked it all brought more fabric top right hand side red check and decided that perhaps red wasnt the right colour hence this project ended up in the ufo box so now i just need some inspiring fabric that will make these stars work or i need a different layout perhaps just join them all together or should i use a narrow sashing to break them up i hope to make a decision this week on which one project to start next as my oldest son has started to ask if santa can bring him a bike for christmas so i am already feeling the pressure of the end of the year of the ufo being just around the corner happy quilting sue sa at september 26 2010 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

share to pinterest car cosy i am still trying to complete as many ufo s as i can before the year runs out because it just dawned on me that christmas is only three months away but it was one of those days when i ran out of thread and the binding was just that bit too short argh however i did muddle my way through and i now have the binding and label on my harvest table runner but i cannot help thinking that a little bit more quilting is required so i havent put it on the table yet i am sure that if i leave it in my sewing room long enough i will forget my good intentions and start using it this is a shot of a car cosy i made two for my boys before our last trip interstate to visit family they are well used by our car crazy son s and so i decided to make some more as gifts which i just posted off last week there are six pockets for matchbox cars to live in and road to drive them on then you just flip the road over and roll the whole lot up for carrying around everywhere when your a 4 yr old its your equivilent of a handbag the pattern was a tutorial from my little gems blog and was easy to follow i changed the pattern a little bit to suit what i had in the cupboard my only regret being that i didnt have lightweight interfacing as the heavy stuff was a bit too stiff happy quilting sue sa at september 19 2010 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest spring weather in august its a beautiful day and i want to spend it in the garden my sewing room looks like a bomb hit it and the rest of the house needs cleaning but i would prefer to be outside gardening i am not much of a gardener but i do enjoy the physical activity and the end results flowers we brought this house two and half years ago and have really been anti gardeners in that time eg we have cut down trees and let plants die not that it was our intention to be such brown thumbs but the garden had become reliant on regular heavy watering not something we could keep up with water restrictions and me being heavily pregnant also the beautiful big trees had been planted too close to the house and boundary for their size so in that time i have been creating little pockets that were time friendly low water users and inexpensive succulants now that the boys are older and can help we are finally spending more time in the garden together the aim is to put in alot of native plants that flower cope with our long hot and dry summers and help feed our birdlife who sadly have had to move else where after we reluctantly destroyed some of their homes we have put in two water tanks with the plan for a third so we can water outside of summer bucket only restrictions a friend thanks granny marg gave me some purple blue iris s and this is the first to flower i would love to have it inside as a cut flower but there are about six other buds on the stem so i will have to enjoy it for an extended period in the garden instead this is a close up of the art to heart harvest table runner that i freehand machine quilted last weekend all i can say is that its all good practise i now need to trim the edges and bind the table runner but after i do that i do have a few pieces that still need finishing as they sit over the top of the binding can you see the spring onion on the bottom happy quilting sue sa at august 22 2010 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest quilting the quilt another productive weekend helped along by attending all day sewing on saturday with my patchwork group i had not given much time to thinking about what i would work on until friday night then it was a case of panic but because i had finished so much lately i decided to stick to my guns and complete some more pesky ufos this attic windows animal quilt i had previously pinned started quilting and then got distracted i have just added this quilt its mate and my new project hexagons into my wip list not sure why it wasnt up there already i had left over window frame pieces from previous attic windows quilts so this animal verison and another transport top were created so on saturday i we pinned three table runners two were mine one attic windows transport cot quilt and one large lap quilt fellow quilters first quilt i felt really good about this but alas no pictures as yet so fest your eyes on this one i prepared earlier i am only sorry i dont have a close up picture of the quilting i had neglected to mention that i had finished this tumbling blocks cot quilt some months back during my blogging black hole period i completed the top in a class with lessa siegele in may 2008 i wrote the date on my class notes but not the year but never got around to quilting it following my quilting lessons earlier in the year with lorraine cocker i was all fired up and needed something to let loose on important hint and note to self never neglect to attach a label immediately once the quilting is completed because when i went to write the label for this quilt i realised that i couldnt remember what type of batting i had used i am hoping i can tell when i unpick a corner of the binding if you are asking why this is so important the type of wadding used is important in how i wash my quilts and because its a cot quilt and will be washed alot i dont want it to shrink felt fall apart all because i put the wrong washing instructions on it for the rest of saturday i did some free motion quilting around the animals on attic windows cot quilt some of which i unpicked today however sunday i managed to get the rest of the quilting done and the binding cut out which went on today i also quilted the art to heart harvest table runner but it still needs some attention in the pattern some of the applique goes over the top of the binding a good idea if you follow the pattern and do raw edge machine applique not great if you decide to needle turn i started this table runner while i was on maternity leave waiting for my eldest son to be born and he was late i thought that i was smart by picking a small project especially as it was hand work but ever since i have delayed completing it fooling myself into thinking i would hand quilt it one day i am so never ever going to hand quilt anything now i have the hang of free motion quilting not that i am very good but practise makes perfect so i am going to be practising on all my ufos happy quilting sue sa at august 16 2010 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest newer posts older posts home subscribe to comments atom
