Link to a Give Away

It's been a while between posts only because it's been a while between projects. I couldn't however miss sharing this give away. Love my rocket ship.....then meet the designer: Kellie. Her quilts are amazing and I've just bought her Christmas Tree pattern on her blog so hopefully will get that made before Christmas. She has a great giveaway at the moment.

The last baby on the block.

Another baby is on the block and of course needed a nice little something to snuggle in.

Inspired by Don't look Now and her cute as Rocket ships, this quilt was full of robots and space ships. The red swirls just look wrong in this photo but I just loved the fabric so much I had to include it.

2 quilts in 2 weeks

What a week!

New babies and new house, mean new quilts!

Flannel Quilt
First one is in all snuggly flannels for a little baby that is meant to still be cooking but instead is the SNU. She'll be out soon though as she is a little fighter.

















Spiderweb Quilt
Then, friends bought/built their first home and we had the fortune to visit it today. The house is just lovely! They have great style so I was a tad concerned this wouldn't match but it looked like it would fit in. I did think I had another week or 2 finish it so when I got the email inviting us over for lunch today......let's just say there was not a lot of sleep and the threads in the photo were trimmed off in the car. I just love the fabric and the design though.

DQS6 - Is received.


My apologies to Xena for taking so long to blog this, but it is hanging up in the sewing room. Conferences, ethics and study have kept getting in the way.

I received for my swap this lovely little landscape. The bird is cute as a button with little detail. The cliff face is my favourite. I was sure it was a path but now that it is hanging I see how it was designed.

Thank you Xena.

Here are some photo's of my favourite parts. Of course as I've gone to blog this, I've realised that I have no photo of the full quilt and now my camera is packed in readiness for QLD. You have to pop over to Xena's for better photo's.

DQS6 - Is on its way.

After a rocky start of sketching, cutting, stitching, chucking it and starting all over again, it is finished, packaged up and was popped in the post today.

I'm pretty happy with it, of course I have seen something I would change if I could, at the last minute but I can't so, I really hope my swappee likes it.

Now, I know my swappee reads this sometimes, so can only post sneak peeks...

Happy Birthday to me!!


Nothing better than being in a birthday FQ swap.

Especially when you have swappers as lovely as mine. Not only was there little FQ's, but there was buttons, a mag, extra fabric and that naughty Bec even managed to get in some chocolate (YUM!)

Here is the fabulous haul so far! I just love the retro theme and how diverse the fabrics are!
