New for Lou

A birthday present for my Sister in Law - looks so nice in her house in Port Willunga.

A New Quilt for a Cousin

Spotlight sale with 20 % off gave me the opportunity to buy fabric for a new very distant cousin in the UK.  My first baby quilt - it has lots of aliens for a little boy. I hope his parents like it - and when I say distant my children share a great great grandmother with him !! - still blood is blood and I love the opportunity to make a quilt for someone who will use it.

Mid Winter Night

Tonight is the longest night of the year - it is chilly and dark but at least we now know that it is all uphill from here. Had a quiet family weekend of sewing and eating and playing - very nice. Had a lovely family dinner on Friday night with Alan's family which included three birthdays - one on them my sister in law Louise was the recipient of my latest quilt - the Angle Poise - very happy with how it turned out. And she had a big bag of Ikea fabric that she no longer needed - so lucky me!! and by the end of the weekend we had six new cushions and a table cloth -got to love a quick project!!!

Sunday Stash

Collecting the sky Amy Butler Lotus prints from where ever I can - why do I only find I love fabrics after they are out of print!!

Back again

A whole month without  a blog - too busy and the computer never seems to be free - we are planning a new set up in the lounge room - may be that will help - any way lots of thing happening- nice long weekend - four days off and  a bit of sewing - Gina had a great school project to make a model of an animal cell and she decided to make a cushion - all my memories of mitochondria,  nucleus and vacuole come back - and a fun project as well!!

Triangles

I am working on a quilt for my sister-in- law for her birthday using the Material Obsession triangle Ginger Quilt pattern from the first book - such fun with a right angle triangle  ruler and strips - it is really like magic
