Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

Scrappy quilt top almost finished. Length is right just a tad too wide so I will have to trim it down. Next I will add the backing and a simple stitch in the ditch to hold it all together and a binding in black to frame it with.

Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

Another Aussie Hero quilt started. This one is totally scrappy quilt as you go just batting and fabric top. This will be made into one piece and the back will be one piece.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished. The request was for purple and lime.

Sewing Room.

This is my sewing space re configured to have some more sewing space. Yesterday at Spotlight using my $40 voucher I bought a sewing machine table.  This had been reduced to $99 from $149 and I bought some fabric as well. so the table actually cost me $60 a great saving. Since I don't close the door anyway I moved the large table out further to put in the sewing machine table.

Aussie Hero Quilt Project.

 This is my next Aussie Hero quilt in progress. The request for this one is purple and lime.
This is another quilt as you go technique using this tutorial.

My blocks are going to be 14 inches finished size. The backs are all purple.
3 rows across and 5 rows down. The bobbin colour thread is green and the top thread is purple.

I chose the colours by searching for a colour theme.

Cakes And Quilts.

 Mothers Day yesterday. Two lovely chocolate cakes.

 Aussie Hero quilt finished. It is not purple but navy blue, for some reason it does not show the colours correctly.

 Double sided. This quilt request is for a grand son, planes and military.

I got a lovely present of a white board with magnets for my sewing room. How lovely. Now I don't have to tape my notices on the door.
