Abacus

Here is   quite an  easy quilt,  It has hexagons of children's prints.

Stix

Every time I take the camera outside to take photos, the wind starts up even when there was not even a gentle breeze before.
I forget what this one was called but it  was lots of fun to do and it used a lot of my stash.

Log cabin made with Aboriginal fabrics.

This pattern is from a recent American Patchwork and Quilting (Sampler) issue.  The quilt is  58" X 73"   and made from Aboriginal fabrics, red tone-on-tone and cream homespun.  It was well  received by the Patchworker group  members,
I also took it to church where some members had asked to see it.  One friend wanted to buy it but hadn't told me, so I offered to make a second one,  currently 2/3 completed.  Somehow the copy has been more difficult than the first one!

Angels

This project had pictures of boy angels and girl angels.  I made it in an Attic window pattern.   Really pretty.

Animals

Another cot quilt for a small person

Pinks

This was a project using up pink floral scraps, I still have lots of  floral scraps, it was also a UFO.

Santa Fe

I found this pattern in American Patchwork and quilting. The fabrics had a slub and were similar to Thai silk, but they were cotton.  I had a few headaches matching the pieces It was an UFO for a few years but I finally finished it this January., 2020

That is my shade house in the background and our kangaroo paws in the foreground, some of them are 2 meters tall.

Horses

I had ordered a pack of scraps, expecting dogs and cats but I received some horse fabric. Oh well, some little girls love horses.

Animals

                              This one  is of animals and there is a picture of Frozen there too.

Circus

This is a panel so easy to prepare for a small child.

A Quilt for a young boy

This is one of two quilts I made for twin boys some years ago.  African animals  with various skin prints.

Hearts a'plenty

Angels

Here is another quilt for a little girl.  I had a panel of little angel girls, quite pretty.

Fun at the beach

I don't think I have posted this quilt yet.   It has a nautical theme with children on a beach and footsteps (of an adult and a baby) in the sand.

Lego

One of my husband's Lego models.  He has been collecting them for years.  Most of the models have been pulled apart and stored in bins,  taking up much less space.

Tumbling blocks

This is the start of my tumbling blocks project. It has been going for so long it is almost a UFO.  This photo was taken in 2013.  I will take another soon to show the 'progress' I have made. It has been rearranged into rows of each colour, all hand sewn..

Drunkards path - a different way.

I made this one a few years ago.  It is quite colorful, I had to keep my attention focused to get the corners matching just so.   This pattern came from a book by............................

Nautical theme

Hooray, I found a new file that hasn't been published.  This quilt has  a Nautical theme.
There is still more material left, so I will make another one when I catch up.

Well, Easter has past  and the days are getting colder, but still so little rain.  My sewing room has a camelia tree and a big monstera  outside the window so the room is quite dark.

I have put my big quilt aside and have been making cot quilts, completing two and there are  some blocks ready for a third one.  There doesn't seem to be much impression on my stash though.  When I visited the  Craft show earlier this month I bought a few fat quarters for childrens' quilts and some more rotary blades.

UFOs

I have not had any visitors to my Blog for years, at least no-one left a message.
Seems a little lonely. Where  are all my followers?
UFOs
The list at the bottom of the page was compiled years ago.  Sadly none of these projects have been completed.

I have realised how  projects become UFOs.  I am always looking for new projects to start on. There are mountains of magazines that are regularly read and reread, looking for a unique pattern.  I call this reading research, so I don't get guilty about using all that time for reading and not sewing..  Most of the patterns are altered because of my stash and the size of project  that has been decided on. Often there are at least  three quilt tops at various stages of completion.
Three or four years ago I joined an association that donates quilts of all sizes to various charities. I donate some of my magazines as often as I can.  And sometimes take as many as three quilt tops per month to be quilted by those clever ladies who can quilt.
