Australian Koala Table Runners

Now these are definitely "Australian" table runners.
(If you click on the photo it will show up the koalas).
Just finished quilting & binding then today.
(Colours are nicer than what the photo shows)

I also had another finish late yesterday afternoon...

this cute cot quilt

 I used matching fabric for the backing.

I was a tad disappointed in the "faded" colour of the panel, but it is still cute.

Now I better quilt the customer's quilts that have come in during the last few days!

 

Until next post...

Second kit made up

Just finished another quilt.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I bought 2 kits, but ended up using some fabric out of the second kit to make the first quilt larger...

  I had to find a fabric in my stash to make the second quilt... 

as I didn't have "quite" enough fabric to do the outside border as big, I used up the left over whites and made a border of white, then a border of the light blue.

 

I am happy with the results.

Until next post...

Australian Table Runners

I made these table runners on Friday, then quilted them yesterday (Saturday), 

then today I sewed the binding on.

as the backing piece of fabric was just long enough to also quilt a cot panel,

 I quilted another Santa panel

also sewed the binding on today.

Before I did the above sewing, I quilted a couple of customer's quilts.

Until next post...

Another finish

Over the last couple of days I sewed this quilt from a kit.

I LOVE blue & white!

I quilted & bound it today.

It finished up at 50" x 59"

Another one for my sale.

Until next post...

This weekend's projects

As I am up to date with customer's quilts, I have been making items for my stall that will be in September at Dungog's Quiltarama, plus my own Sale in December at the CWA Hall.

Firstly, a cot quilt... I just LOVE Mickey Mouse!

and what the back looks like

 I bought these table runners as pre-cut kits.

Only the tops were in the kit, I had to use my own fabric for the backing & binding.

Now, I have to make a start on something else..

Until next post...

Day 3 catch up

Well this is the last of the catch up photos of what I have made since Christmas.

I have made some items for my USA trip.

I designed a koala for my zippered bags and here is what I came up with:

 then played with my embroidery machine for the kangaroo

platypus

 and koala, making them into lined zippered bags.

 

then I made some tea-towels

plus made some with my home town on it. 

 These tea-towels are made up by me, but then sent to an embroiderer who charges me $5 each motif she sews on.

I then wanted to use some of the huge PILE of 7" zippers I have and made some flat bottomed pouches:

I experimented firstly with Christmas fabric I had..

the used up some of the Australian fabric

and lastly!

I made up one and a half jars of wild blackberry jam.

Phew!..that's all the catching up..I hope I can keep up with my blogging.

Until next post...

Day 2 of catch up = Cot Quilt Panels

Wonder if anyone is still following me?

hope I haven't dropped off their "favourite" list!

Well here are  more photos:

COT QUILT PANELS

Firstly a Christmas panel

 then the last of my Bambi panels

 then I made up this cot quilt with my fabrics

 

the with the left over fabric from the panel I used in the stars in the above quilt..I made this one up.

Not real happy with the end result...think I should have had tram lines in between the squares

then it would have been too big for a cot quilt!

Then I bought 3 of the following tractor panels with matching hardcover books.

I made up 2 exactly the same

 

and had tractor fabric in my stash for the backing

 

Then I made up as I sewed, the third panel into a larger quilt 

 (61" x 67")

 and had a plain backing for it.

 

Well that is the cot quilts.

More pictures of other sewing tomorrow...

Until next post...
