Three more bags!

I've made lots of these now - everybody I know will get one for Christmas!

This one is very pink!

I finished this quilt over the weekend and just finished stitching the binding. I feel I am getting better, although I still had puckers on the back of my quilt. It was made entirely from fabric in my stash and I didn't have to buy any fabric specially for it.

But look at my corner!




And I've tried machine stitching the binding down but I don't care for it; I much prefer to hand stitch it down, I think it looks neater.

But I really do wish I could make a single bed size quilt. I just wouldn't be able to quilt it without it puckering though.

I did these a while ago but thought I'd post them here

I made these when I was "into" machine embroidery. I don't do it much now, as the machine is in the conservatory and it's darned cold in there!!! The red and white one was made for a friend who was getting married and it's so not my choice of colours or design! But it's what the bride wanted and she was very pleased with it.

I think this is soooo cute!

I whipped this little bag up the other night in about an hour and I love the fabrics in it! Made from scraps, more or less, too - oh, and a little interfacing. I see more of these in my future and I've sewn some more for Chistmas gifts next year. Yes, I know its a little early but I need to start somewhere!

Its finally finished!

I started this tumbler quilt before Christmas and although it didn't take long at all to piece the top (all cut with the Accucut!), I had been dreading quilting it because I knew I would have difficulty on my domestic sewing machine. I ended up just stitching in the ditch and not doing any meandering. I love meandering so I felt a bit cheated but at least there are no puckers on the back. I cheated and sewed the binding down by machine instead of hand stitching it, as I have always done before. Fabrics are Heather Bailey's Fresh Cut line. Backing is Heather Bailey's Bijoux.


I have another pieced top to quilt and another being designed (in my head) then I will cut another tumbler quilt as I do like the look of them and they piece together very quickly.

I feel quite smug now, having finished this quilt this weekend!

I just don't like it!

Having seen and walked past this quilt hung over my stairs for the past few days, I've decided I just don't like it!! Some of the squares aren't cut straight, not all the seams match and the stripes are crooked. Oh, and I decided it's just blargh!

Having said that, I will finish it - but I'll probably give it away :-(
