Reindeer Biscuits

 Just finished making these for my Quilt & Craft Sale this Saturday.

Ok, ok... they are "sort of" craft items aren't they?

I have made about 50 of them and will bag them up in packs of 3 for $1.

Until next post...

Thomas the Tank Engine Quilt

My Quilt & Craft Sale is this Saturday and I want to get this quilt done for the sale.  

As usual, I cut and Mum sewed.  I didn't let onto her that there was a deadline, otherwise she would have panicked.  However she did finish sewing the top yesterday.

 

 I pinned it on this morning, then looked for an appropriate pattern and found this one called "Numbers".

Seeing all the trains have numbers on them, I thought it would look good.

 

The binding is all cut & sewn to put on when the quilting is done.

 

So, it is all sew, sew, sew today!

Christmas Swing Tags

Last Wednesday, I went to my sister's place for the day and look what we made!

A couple of weeks ago, I was surfing the net and came across this picture....

 

...so, as  my sister is an avid card maker & scrap booker, I showed it to her.

She decided to "tiss" it up a bit and we ended up making 180 of them in one day!

 
I am bagging them up in lots of 10, and will be selling them for $2 a bag at my sale next Saturday (13th Dec)

Made this at the Blog Retreat

 

This was a joint effort quilt.

I cut the fabric

Mum sewed the hearts

I joined the hearts, quilted & bound it

This is the main item I worked on while I was at the Bathurst Blog Retreat a couple of  weekends ago, where we all sat around and stitched and bitched, chatting away and  generally had a good great time.

Must get off the computer, a storm is brewing.

Dare I say...Star Bangled Banner???

 

Been busy since coming home from the Blog Retreat...

the commissioned quilts are coming in as fast as I get one out.....

Don't get me wrong... I am NOT complaining...I love being busy. 

 

"Just" finished this one for a customer, this afternoon...dare I call it "Star Spangled Banner?"

It is red, white & blue.... come to think of it, our Australian flag is red, white & blue too.

 This Amish style quilt is the next one to be pinned onto the machine.

While I was shopping the other day, I had to take a photo of this shop front.

It's starting to look a bit like Christmas!

Made from Scraps

I was cleaning out a shelf in my fabric cupboard and came across 2 pieces of border fabric that had come in a bag of bits I bought off eBay YEARS ago.

I nearly put it in a bag of pieces I have for a friend who likes all the scraps I throw away (and I am talking 1" bits!) as she uses fiddly little bits.

Instead, I decided to make a little table runner using my 60 degree ruler.  It is 24" x 7.5".

So cute!  I will be adding it to my things to sell at my quilt & craft sale... think I will put $5 on it... BARGAIN!

Until next post...
