Aussie Hero quilt

Another one is done.
I had cut out squares and started making blocks for a quilt about 4 years ago before a Grandie was born, then the nursery theme changed, and I didnt carry on.  By adding a few more blocks, and changing it to a disappearing 9 patch I have now made an Aussie Hero quilt.

 This one is being sent to a person serving on one of our Navy ships. It is a combination of sailing, surfing, lighthouses, penguins and other sea pics, so hopefully he will like it.

   

My June Finish!!!

I pieced this quilt about 8 years ago, and then had it quilted a couple years later only to discover I didn't have binding to match. UGH!!!!!! I searched online and never could find it and poked around quilt shops over the last several years but never could find the fabric to match, and those I tried to put with it just didn't work. On my way to quilt camp last month I stopped at a quilt shop. There in a sale bin was the very same blue fabric.....1/2 yard at $2.00!!!!!!!!! Woohoo. I am so excited to have this quilt done.

From a lonely teddy to a treasure cushion

This little lonely bear panel was very lonely on my wall since I finished it in 2008 or 2009. It was to be a baby wall hanging but never got finished.

Until this week, when I decided to turn it into a secret pillow / pocket pillow/ treasure cushion / pyjama tidy, you can choose the name!
I cut my panel with a gentle curve to make a pocket in front of the pillow.

I made the body of the pillow with a lovely teddy bear print fabric I had stashed away.

And here is my finished item that I was planning to sale but has been claimed by my daughter already.

Finish #11

Another project finished - Yeah!!!  This tablemat started out as a challenge in March of 2011 for Playing with Blocks Club.  I needed to make something using the green fabric provided and the Stack and Whack method.  I completed the top by the next month but I finally quilted and bound the table topper this last weekend.
