Well, its been a while, my new job has been keeping me very busy, to say the least, and the rest of the time has been spent trying my hardest to catch up with all those projects I’ve started after being inspired by customers and new fabrics constantly coming into the shop!
Needless to say, I haven’t had much time to finish many projects, so I thought I would post some pics of previously finished projects just to give you an idea of how I satisfy my obsession with fabric
These two quilts were Christmas presents for my wonderful nephews, Daniel and Nicholas. Car and tractor mad at the time, though they’re War Hammer mad now, not too sure about that! I found these great novelty fabrics at a quilt show, and designed the piecing around them.
This third quilt (below left) I made for my husband’s Aunt for her new grandson. The bear was actually adapted from a paper punch I’ve used for cardmaking, then appliquéd the pieces on using bondweb and machined with a blanket stitch.
I’m now working on more baby quilts, including this one (above right) I made for a customer. I'm in the middle of a couple of baby quilts, one of which I decided to hand quilt! Ha! It may be a while before I show that one off! Meanwhile, I do take commissions, so please get in touch.
so we’re moving away. I have made so many good friends since working at the shop and will miss them dearly. As you can see, they’re a very happy bunch! This is us with the quilt, we (there are others who didn't want to brave the camera!) all made at least one block each, and then I put them together and did the quilting. It is a kingsize quilt, again using Tanya Whelan prints, with 
nine-patch and hourglass blocks arranged in a round-the-world setting.
Whelan's beautiful prints. This one is all machine pieced and quilted, and would have taken me half the time if I hadn't wondered off to start new projects! My imagination seems to be all over the place at the moment.
