Stitcher's Angel swap

This is the bag I have made in the Stitcher's Angel swap. This project is designed by Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches and is called the Blue Wren's Nest.

The armchair caddie is designed by Helen from Hugs 'n kisses.

This is the stitchery for the third project designed by May Britt Dammen from Norway. Hopefully my swap partner will enjoy my makings.

Scrappy continued

I started sewing this quilt 2 weeks ago at our Sunday get together and continued with it yesterday at our Club Quilt get together. I laid it out when I got home and I am surprised and happy with the result. I normally don't use bright colours, but I think it looks good. I started sewing the rows together last night, so it should be completed soon.

Scrappy from OS

This pattern was kindly sent to me by Quilter Going Bananas. Club Quilt are organising a scrappy weekend, we all bring scraps and swap and make a quilt, we are thinking of using this pattern, a big thankyou toQGB.

Nundle Quilt

This is the quilt I made at Cottage on The Hill last weekend. I came home and finished the quilt. Kerry did it as a mystery, just giving us instructions as we went. I am very happy with the result. Thanks Kerry.

Gift for Gary who turned 40

I made this quilt top some time ago and needed a birthday gift for a friend Gary who is 40. I quilted it and was really happy with the result.

Gary and his wife loved it.

Scrappy in the making.

The other day when I was looking through my magazines, I came across this scrappy quilt.(Australian Country Threads Vol 7 No 1)I had a sudden urge that I had to make it.Today was one of the coldest days we have had, so I put the Olympics on The TV and got out some scraps. I spent most of the day cutting.

Here are some of my light fabrics

Here are some of my dark fabrics. We have a Club Quilt day on Sunday so I shall start sewing.

Great excitment there are only seven sleeps until we head off to Nundle and our annualCottage on the Hill retreat. Can't wait. Kerry has offered to organise a Mystery Quilt so I am looking forward to this.

BOM from OS

These are the first two blocks of a quilt I signed up for from USA.

I am awaiting block number 3.

Birthday Gift

This is Kerry, who had a birthday last week.I made her this quilt, it is called Seeds of Time designed by Sue Brennan from Warren, the fabric is Odelia.

I really enjoyed making it, especially as the quilting turned out really well.

I'm sure Kerry loves it. Thanks to Peg for emailing the photos.

Cottage on the Hill Cyber stitching

Here is my version of Natalie Ross's Jolly Jingles. I finished him off today at Club Quilt. I have to make the Christmas tree for him to hold,but I think he looks ready for December 25th.

Country Lanes

This is a BOM that I started about 6 years ago. Last Friday I was telling Peg that I thought I would start a new project at Club Quilt on Sunday, she suggested I should finish my wisps before embarking on a new project, so I pulled these rows from the cupboard. I had two to finish and assemble the quilt.This is the result. Thanks Peg.

A close up of the rows.

These are 3D flowers.

I think I will add to my Peg's challenge list.

Scrappy Challenge

I had this laid out to sew together earlier last month. I decided to make it a bit bigger. I finished the blocks today. Here it is on my QS bed. Just have to quilt it. That could be a challenge considering the size.

Charity Quilt

This is the fifth challenge I have finished. This top was made by Club Quilt Narromine members last year.

I have quilted it with stippling, this is the border.

I have put the label on it. It is now ready to be given to the local cancer support group to be raffled.

Challenge Number 4

This is the fourth challenge to be completed. It's only a small one, I have put tabs on my Leannes House BOM and hung it up in my lounge room.When we met Leanne at Girls day in the country at Nundle in May, I got Leanne to sign the label, so it makes it extra special. Now on to number five.

Challenge number 3

I have had four grandsons staying with me for the first week of the school holidays so I have not had time to blog or sew. This quilt that I finished quilting last week is called Seeds of time, and was designed by Sue Brennan of Weigela Design .You can find the pattern in Homespun number 22 Vol.5 no.2.This is number 3 challenge finished.
