Stash Sunday - Week 1

Stash Sunday was started by those talented EB quilters to ensure blog posts and to show off the lovely fabric hidden in draws.

In the theme of Christmas I thought I would do my first Stash Sunday post with 2 of my favourites that I have been chopping up today. I know the rules are just one but these are so similar they count as one......don't they?

Another another sneaky peak.

First homemade Christmas present finished and here is the proof.

Yes, you don't know what it is, that is because this is the fabric of it, hiding the present within. How divine is this print!!! You should see the finished thing.

I love making gifts for people.

Sneak peaks.....

The latest quilt in the making.....

I just love it.

Fabrics from afar.


After just coming back from the best holiday in Malaysia, I have to share a small purchase.

I am not a huge fan of batiks or Asian prints or even hibiscus flowers. However I fell in love with these. No idea what I will do with them but great stash builders.

It's housewarming time.

And what better way with more quilty goodness.

Oh, I just love, love, love this. The photo doesn't do it justice. A close colleague and friend has just bought her first unit with her boyfriend. This is a little housewarming gift. She deserves so much happiness. It is a pattern from DUQ and is called "The Fishing Net"


Was a little disappointed that the white of the border isn't the same as the white of the squares (I ran out and had to race back to spotlight 2 days after) but it is hardly noticeable.



In the real light you can see the quilting far better. It gives the appearance of a fishing net.




Now, to sew more or mark assignments. What to do...?

A present for the the Teacher

It's been a long time between posts. Not because I haven't been doing anything but because most of what I have been doing is for people that read here.
It is Billy's teachers birthday today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I asked him all her favourite colours and what she liked. We decided I would make a little sewing carry all but he would need to help make it pretty and pick the fabric from the fabric cupboard.

Here is the result:
