Pillow Puppies

Somewhere in the middle of quilt making I made a new pillow.  This was the perfect theme!  I have lots of dog fabric & this one is one of my favourites.

She loved it.  I think her mum loved it more...

Pillow Present # 19

Ta-Dah

The last bit was auditioning fabric for the right hand side, the top, & the 2 rectangles on each end of the diamondy squares...  It was actually quite tricky & something I couldn't decide on until the rest was done.  Then it was a play with options & the right ones just popped up in the right place.  Another couple of favourite fat quarters from my stash to go on the side & top.  A bit of cutting to make them work but I love them. 

I am really pleased with it.  it was such fun. 

However, it didn't make much of a dent in my scraps. 

Row 6

Again!  Circles are still not my friend & not very circular.  They took nearly the longest of any of it.  

But the wonky zigzag bit was fun!

Row 4 & 5

My wonky geese were fun & so fast!  

Foundation paper piecing again.  But circles are not my friend.  I don't care how good they look, they are not well done.  Don't ever look too closely.

Row 3

This quilt top uses a number of different techniques which was all part of the fun.  

This row was foundation paper piecing which I haven't done a great deal of ever.  I really enjoyed this row.  I would love to make a quilt just in this design.  One day...

Row 2

Sewing lots of strips...  Wonky & all.  & then adding bendy curves.  Not the easiest thing every but it is done.  

Row 1

It isn't very often that at work all of us get as excited about new patterns as we have with some this past week.  

So having got so excited, I started.  Like now...  

This will be a fun project.  Stash and Scraps.  Really little scraps...  anything...  

But, I did need to buy 3 parts for my back grounds ... all the pretty colours were to clean out the scrap box which I have only nicely sorted last week.  

I was very brave & even cut up one of my favourite fat quarters for the edge of this row.  Go ME!

yes the carpet has holes in it.  Did put move duct tape over it after though.  lol

Family Day

We had some family from the big island come across for the weekend.  We had a great day visiting all these cool things.  Boys had a great time with their "cousin".  

Christmas Ready

These are all the ornaments I have just completed.  Really get stuck in when I get going.  Nice to have a few more new ones to add to the tree this year.  

Can't beat little letters like this one...
