Bits and pieces

How good is Saffron's kookaburra.Not sure what I will do with him yet.

 Had a good sewing day yesterday. Finished sewing these braid strips from the La Belle Fleur jellyroll that I started the last long weekend. Finished making the oriental blocks for a new sample and put a table runner together.Only need some free time and I may finish some quilts!

 Stitched this sample for the Homespun BOM. I am still on target, I wonder how long it will last.

And finally for today, another new fabric.

Congratulations

Raffle quilt, new stuff and giveaway.

This beautiful quilt is the raffle quilt made by the Musselroe Bay quilters with funds going to the local fire

brigade.We have it hanging in the shop at the moment and you can buy tickets for $1.00 each.

Some new fabric from Saffron Craig featuring wombats. Too cute.

A new top waiting for Leanne to quilt. We have kits and it comes with a story book.

Another quick quilt that I have just finished. Very easy featuring alternate plain and stack and slash blocks. We also have kits available for this quilt.

And below is a picture of the goodies I am giving away for my 100th post! There is a cute moda bag, 35 x 3" strips of very pretty fabrics, a couple of patterns and two new candy packs of 2 1/2" squares.
If you would like to win these please leave a comment and follow my blog. I will draw the prize on Sunday 11th March. Thank you all for reading my blog and helping me to get this far.

A busy few weeks.

I may have been absent for a couple of weeks but I haven't been idle.  I have finished the first part of the new Homespun Magazine BOM. At this rate I should have the quilt finished for Christmas :) . This is a lovely block of the month by Bronwyn Hayes and uses many of the French General fabrics. I couldn't wait to use the new La Belle Fleur range.

I have also been playing with Helen's Hexies. The table centre was made using the Lario from 3 sisters range of 2 1/2" squares

And I have finished the top of the Cottage Garden BOM quilt by Fig and Berry.

  Sorry this photo does not do it justice.

 I will take another one this week.

 

Craftsy 2012 blocks

I was looking back over some earlier posts and realized that I hadn't put up all my Craftsy blocks. Things went a bit crazy last year and I got way behind. I even contenmplated not finishing these but towards the end of last year I became enthused again. Some of the blocks I am not very pleased with but I will still use them.

This block replaced the one below. I followed the instructions and this was the result.

Too wonky for me too use so I unpicked it and made another my way.

The hexagons took a while to complete, but they finally came together. I have now completed 15 blocks -only 5 more to go.

A new wallhanging

 
Kim has been busy making this wallhanging from the Flirt range. Leanne will quilt it for her soon.

Fernhill 2

Another Fernhill example.  We decided to do a more modern version of Lynette's Fernhill  quilt and this is Kim's version - so totally different to Leanne's shown in the last post.

Below is Block one of Lisa's quilt. A first finish for the new year.

Hopefully block three will be finished tonight.
