Rainy day blues

It was a very wet day here yesterday, just perfect for a sew-in. The blues are Indigo Crossing by Minick and Simpson, a little impulse buy when I was in Melbourne last month and I decided they would make a lovely bag. The pattern is Teacher's pet by Sweet Jane's Quilting & Design. Lots of cutting and sewing but I know I am going to love it.

 

 

 

Here is the big pile of blocks ready for a lot of ironing before I can put them together! The material used is Mulberry Lane and the pattern is Disappearing 4 Patch.

 

 

Hope you could find a positive in the weather and spend your weekend sewing! 

So warm

It was so warm this morning I just needed it on record! How good is this, right in the middle of winter!

 

 

On the sewing front I finally got my act into gear and started on a quilt for a future great niece (well it had better be!). Very happy with my points and it is all going together well.

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone has a great sewing weekend! I know I will

I bought this kit at the craft fair, so quick and easy to stitch.  Can't wait to put the borders on.

Just popping back to show the lovely quilts that were on display at the DEC at the weekend.

Here is a compilation of some I liked.

 

 

 

 This quilt was beautiful the colours really shimmered.Not a great photo of it but hopefully you will get the idea!

 

 

This is my friend Faye's (no blog) quilt, she entered as a beginning quilter. The quilt was titled 'On the Plus Side' - clever. It is to go to the Dunalley Fire appeal when it is returned. I couldn't bear to give it away.

 

 

Just loved the Christmassy look of this quilt, the pointsettia material is lovely. 

 

 

I enjoyed looking at all the quilts wish I had taken more photos to share with you.
