A Simple Quilt Top

Well my Peak Hour quilt is coming together! I have a quilt top done. Yay!! A simple design, just sewed the jelly roll strips together but I love it!!

Cheryl's giveaway!

One of the blogs I follow is Cheryl's from She Stamps.  She is having a lovely giveaway to celebrate her birthday.  Be sure to check it out!

W.I.P.

Just a few little pics. LOVE this fabric line!! It's called Peak Hour from Riley Blake.  It's designed by  an Aussie girl: Kellie Wulfsohn from Don't Look Now blog.  I first saw the designs on a quilt she designed in a quilting magazine a few years ago, available here. But now she has made it into fabric! Yay!!

I bought a jelly roll and some yardage and I'm going to make a toddler quilt for a friend's new baby! Have chopped off a little bit of each strip for another project.

Had fun laying them out to get the order I want. Now just to sew it all together!!

Watch this space for these little bits!

Oh No, It's the Gruffalo!!!

I have a teacher friend who is seriously into The Gruffalo books. It's her 30th next week so I had to make a card along a theme, of course! I also made her a clipboard to use in class.

At the moment there are no scrapbook or stamping Gruffalo products on the market so I was limited to a piece of wrapping paper with which to make my creations!!

The card was made using this week's sketch over at Retro Sketches. I rotated the sketch 180 degrees.  I was inspired by one of the design team cards who used little windows so I thought I would use that idea too.  Inside it reads "...said the Gruffalo!"

I might still add some ribbons to the clipboard at the top. 

Thanks for looking!

A Matching Birdie Mug Rug

So I finished the mug rug this evening to match the little bookmark from yesterday, that was inspired by Erin @ Why Not Sew? Quilts.

Love how it turned out! In fact I prefer the binding on this one. The darker colour gives a better contrast. Plus I like the wiggly sun rays instead of the straight ones.

A close up on the wee birdies!

Thanks for looking!
