Spring sewing

 

Well we have recovered from our floods, the new carpet looks great, the new shop layout has opened up the area significantly and when I get all the fabrics arranged nicely it will seem

just like a new shop! New fabrics and precuts are arriving regularly.

This week has forced me to take a new look at my blog after a friend told me it was boring!

She's still my friend - I think. :)

I will try and keep it more up to date.

I finished a new cushion on Friday using a template from Zoe Clifton Designs. The cushion took no time at all to piece using Zoe's template.  I think I now need to make a quilt with it.

 

 

I received these pinwheel templates this week and I have started to play with them.

 

I am making up a quilt using 5" squares at the moment.  The pattern on the back says to use

9" squares sewn together so I will do that next. This is so easy, make a four patch, place the template on top and position it using the guide lines, then cut around the template.

 

 

This is as far as I have progressed, need more time at the machine.

 

 

 

And to finish - another lovely friend from Hobart delivered some doiley's , hankies and lots of other goodies yesterday. The doiley quilt will soon happen!

 

The last of my spring daffodils, but more beautiful flowers are appearing in the garden

 -despite the weeds.
