Quilt Continued.

This is the quilt so far. The logos have been appliqued on and the name written with fabric markers. They will be trimmed and sewn together with no strips in between and the seams opened up and pressed flat. There are 5 rows of 3 blocks. The back will then be pinned on and quilted again and the binding put on. The binding will be in red.

ACDA Christmas Party And Quilting.

 This is the layout for the Aussie Hero quilt I am working on. The two empty spaces will have white fabric blocks with the Waratahs logo on them in a mirror fashion. The request is for mainly blue, Aussie Army fabric, flag and the Waratahs.

 At the cloth doll club yesterday I spent $20 on raffle tickets for the charity we are supporting this year, I won a prize! A $20 Spotlight voucher this is what I bought today. Two meters of each of these fabrics from Roxburgh Park, the new store that opened, I also used this voucher from the back of the magazine and a 20% off scratch card. So thank you ladies very much! All will be used for Aussie Hero quilts.

 The quilt I am working on is using scraps of all my blues made into large blocks sewn and quilted onto the batting. The backing will be in one piece and added after and then quilted again and this time the lines will be going diagonally on the quilt, in a X on each block.

 This is my preliminary reference diagram of the emblem for the white blocks.  The actual logo will be larger. I need to take the time to draw it out properly.

 At the Christmas party on Saturday we had a decoration swap and a pincushion swap. This was what I got, Simply divine!

 Such a clever idea.

This is the pin cushion I received, Just the best kind of cup cake.  Wishing all of the wonderful people at A.C.D.A. a safe and Merry Christmas, See you all in February.

Baby Quilt.

Yesterday I made this baby quilt. This is for the lovely couple I have known ever since they were little kids themselves. Now they are the proud parents of a little girl. They love horses and mum loves purple so I hope they like it.

Left Over Fabric.

 Just over a year and a half ago I made this costume for my son.

 This is the finished product.

 Originally we were going to have the front covered with patches done individually but realised early on that it would take too long and be very heavy, since he was going to be going in and out of water, up and down obstacles we altered it. I did however save all the bits I had cut out and today, I had a reason to use them.

 They are the perfect size for the snips I have bought to hand out for gifts at the A.C.D.A. Christmas party so took me no time at all to assemble.

One snip on the right side of the pocket and they are ready to go. I had just the right amount of pieces too! All set for Saturday.
