Tis the season .....

Well, it is the first of December.

So, it must be the time for raffle quilts for our local kids Christmas night.

It just makes you want to hum ... Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas .....

La la la di da

Another charity quilt ...

Today I made a 12" block - woven  ribbons.

I was in a block swap and the final block was my own choice.

All the blocks are lovely, though one doesn't fit really well, so I haven't decided if I will use it, or make another one.

The camera makes my beiges quite yellow ....

Bag of Dollies

I am making Lucy a bag full of dollies. I made the bag, nigh on twelve months ago, and am finally getting around to the dolls. At five inches tall and dressed - let's just say they are .... fiddly.

Jane's quilt.

The other traditional quilt I am working on is a Jane Austen - like quilt.

In pansies, of course.

Mum bought me the pattern and templates years ago  and finally, it is on its way.

Cottage garden

Just for Robyn.

Here is the latest quilt I have started work on. A traditional piece of goose blocks.

I bought a set of fat quarters years ago with this lap quilt inn mind and this is the first block.

Found some matching pieces of fabric the other day in mum's stash, and guess what, they are in mine now. Ha ha.

Border quilting

I have been slack on the machine of late.

Too busy with study and the like. But, Mum is here in a week (permanently) and I cannot have the same thing under the needle of the machine as when she was last here - now can I?

Part of the problem was, what to do with the border of this quilt.

So, I went with -

It will do.

Art Quilt Reveal

Well, here it is.

My environmentally messaged Animal Kingdom quilt.

I am quite happy with it. I think I would have like to have had the time to add a thread painted parrot to the coloured triangle. But, perhaps that would have been a bit ambitious for me.
