Bits and Pieces

How this year is flying by!  I was thrilled to bits to have my second Quilt  for Homespun featured in the current July Issue.  This quilt is called "Every Which Way" and was made using lots (and lots) of Flying Geese.  

A while back I had said that creating quilts for Homespun would be a great goal to work towards.  As by the end of the year I will have 3 quilts published - I am pinching myself just a little.

With this winters weather it has been great to pick up some crochet again.  I stumbled across Spun Right Round and completely fell in love with this yarn.  I love how the colours all melt together and I have decided to make a Coco Cowl. In fact a skein of the Hand spun Hand Dyed Rambouillet in "Girl Drink Drunk"  has also been covered by me. 

A new pattern release - I am super excited to have released my

Santa Sacks.

This Applique pattern features both a Santa Claus and Gingerbread Man design in the Pattern for you to choose and is available now in my Etsy store. 

You can Applique the characters any way you choose so whether you like to machine stitch or hand sew then this pattern will work for you.

You can get started on your Christmas crafting straight away as this pattern is available as a PDF - Immediate download.  Santa will be chuffed to fill these up this year and the family will love these for many years to come.

A Jungle Safari Quilt and new Liberty Cushions

The Jungle Safari Quilt I have been working on has been all finished.  Lots of colourful and bright squares make up this Cot size quilt.

The animals were the inspiration for this quilt - cutting them out of the piece of fabric and then co-ordinating lots of fabric prints and solids to match.  And although you cant see it - I have pieced the backed with some of the Jungle Safari print as well.

All quilted and bound and already delivered to its new owner.  I have also been working on an order for Santa Sacks - while it may only be July there is nothing better than being all sorted for the rush that is the festive season.  And you know how I love to be organised.  I hope Santa loves filling up this Sack!

With my love for Liberty fabric growing I pieced together these squares that will be turned into cushion fronts that I will be putting into my Etsy store once they are complete.  So soft and pretty are these pink inspired Liberty fabrics.

I have topstitched them using a Sulky Thread that has the slightest sheen to it to give it that touch of something special - just like the fabric itself.
