A Quilt Top!

Well this came together pretty quickly! Have really enjoyed putting this together today.

The fabrics are from the Darla range by Tanya Whelan by Free Spirit. I bought them about three years ago. They sat for about a year on a shelf whilst I admired them and procrastinated over cutting them up!

Finally about a year and a half ago I started to cut it up to make this. But the it got put to one side during the big move!

Now to get some batting, do the back and put it all together!!

WIP

So a little work in progress to share. After my success at finishing my nephew's quilt last week. I decided to finish cutting pieces for another quilt I had started over a year ago! Finished cutting all the bits last night and so now to start sewing!

I'm linking up to Freshly Pieced:

A cute little purse

I needed a little coin purse the other day to stuff in my pocket and didn't have one so ended up borrowing my daughter's. So last night I decided to make one for myself!

I made a quilt!

Well it's taken quite a while but I have finally taken the plunge and made a quilt, albeit a toddler size one. But it is done!

I started piecing it together whilst visiting my friend Martine, in The Netherlands, months ago!  Then it sat for ages, finally I pinned it together and it sat for ages again, waiting for me to finally get on and quilt it together.  Let's just say I found quilting rather tricky.  It's a bit hit and miss but I'm happy it's done and I definitely improved at the whole quilting thing as I went along! The middle is a lot more ropey than the outside! Then finally I attached the binding whilst we were on holiday last week.

I hope my nephew likes it!

Haven't really been crafting much since our big move.  I made three teacher thank you clipboards and a couple of cards but forgot to photo then so not much else to share really.

About time for a catch up!

Hello! Well I thought it was time for a quick catch up!

After the move back to the UK we embarked on a rather major rennovation project on our home, whilst living here.  It did kind of take over for a while and is still ongoing.  But I wanted to let you know that I have been making one or two bits and pieces as we have gone along.

I made these purses before we left Aus for my daughter's friends.  Union Jack on one side and photo on the other.

I made up a batch of these bunting cards for kids parties using up scraps of fabric, need to do some more now as I've run out!

Here's Jade's cake from her last birthday! She had a low ropes course party!

A birdhouse I painted!

And a card made for a friend.  Paper pieced! I know I'm nuts! Love that image.

Sorry for the shocking photography!  I know there have been a few other bits and pieces but can't find photos at the mo!
