Scrappy Plates

 

Still making progress on Scrappy Dresden Plates. Only one more to hand applique....I'm so excited to get started on the sashing.

Happy Quilting.

Dressies Progress

 

These Scrappy Plates are fun to make and easier than they look. I've finished appliqueing about five Dresden blocks so far. The others are all prepped and ready for stitching while sitting on the back deck. You can find the free pattern from Bunnyhill.

Happy Quilting!

Block Progress and Something New

 

A few more blocks completed from the book "Some Kind of Wonderful". The pattern is "My Favourite Things" from Anni Downs book. You can see more of my blocks here and here.

 

I think this is my favourite so far.....who doesn't love a vacation.

 

Something new I've just started, the dressies pile is growing. I'm making the Bunnyhill free pattern.

Happy Quilting.

Another Bucket Bag

 

Boo is thinking I made this bucket for his amusement. Hmmmm......he is wondering if there will be enough room to climb in.

He was so fast I almost didn't get a picture, as you can see there isn't enough room for him. Boo departs the photo session just as fast as he appeared. 

 

I made this using the pink and brown Anna Maria Horner fabric as my inspiration and Kaffe Fassett ribbons. I plan to use this bucket for my stitching while watching my favourite shows.

Happy Quilting.

Some Kind of Wonderful Blocks and Class

 

I've got more blocks prepped and ready for stitching, these are the blocks I have completed the stitching. I'm enjoying working on this quilt, I just need to stop doing sooooo many other things.

Last week was crazy busy......I need a rest for the next couple. I did take two absolutely awesome classes with Shelley and Bernie, both are fantastic teachers, they make a great team. Shelley has a bead embellishing article published in this magazine (I hope it the right one) and Bernie fixes sewing machines. Shelley is over flowing with endless knowledge of all things quilting and makes learning fun. They have a unique way of teaching.....I've never laughed so much in a class. Thanks for all the visual props that are now ingrained in my head forever! Contact Shelley for her latest class list and Bernie if you have any sewing machine problems.

 

Time for a cup of tea.

Happy Quilting.

Tea Ducky

It's been a busy week......doing what???......well I don't know what I've done but by the end of the day I crash. I've made some progress on "My Favourite Things" quilt......I'll work on taking some pictures today. Off to enjoy my tea.

Happy Quilting!

Bucket Bag

 

I made this bucket bag for my sisters birthday. The fabric is a panel and worked out to be the right size for making this bag. I'm hoping she will use it for crocheting and knitting projects. Now I better get it in the mail because her birthday is this weekend.

 

Boo ran up while I was taking the picture and tried to get in the bag. A little too small for him but he had to try.

Happy Quilting!
