Sew Laugh Love

Firstly my apologies for not posting in November but I have managed December. I have had this little number completely stitched for months and months but now it is finished. Phew another one done and dusted. My photography doesn't do it justice.

A December finish

Managed to sneak one more in for the end of the year, this one was a quick fun and easy quilt to make, and as I write this post on a hot 43 degree Adelaide day you cant help but smile at how cool it makes you feel.

I have called the quilt snowflake penguins, as I have added in some sparkly snowflakes above the penguins that were not on the original design.

Just in time

for Christmas!
Not really a UFO but could easily have been if it had not been so quick to sew.
The ornament in the middle, I found the pattern HERE, was easy to put together and then I just added fabric after fabric.

And here is the back of the cushion, closed with a zipper.

I'm so plesed that it was finished before Christmas!

A quick cushion

After the Victorian bushfires of a few years ago, a group was calling for Maverick Star quilt blocks to put together into quilts for distribution.  I made a block first off to "test" it out.  I wasnt very good at doing the wonky style - I needed mine to look more "normal".  I still had my sample block in with my other orphan blocks, and decided it was time to use it.

I added the border, put an invisible zip in the back, and it was made up in not much more than 1/2 hour.  I need to buy an insert for it when I am next at the shops.

the last of the UFO's.... #45,46,47

....no, not really.....

...but probably the last that I will get done this year!

I have had a few loose stitcheries hanging around for a while so now I have quilted them and made them into some postcards.

Righto, Gotto Go.....

Thanks to everyone for support and encouragement ... have a wonderful Christmas and see you next year... with a new load of UFO's????

Two more KARTS ticked off.

Yeah!!!!
Another grandniece, Miss C, and another grandnephew, Master HC have arrived.

This one is a Thimbleblossom quilt, called Pint Sized Jam Filled (????I think) with a bit a variation. Too far to go to check the name. I used a honey bun and yardage that I had stashed away for awhile.

This one is a kit I bought at In Stitches in Armidale on my way to my very first GDITC at Nundle, so 2010. It has blue rhinos scattered over the dark brown fabric with other animals. It will make a good 'I Spy' quilt. The dark colour will also make it great for camping when he's older.
Now you'd think I'd learn. Here are two kits I have now got out of the cupboard, made up and soon will deliver. It's not as if the cupboard is bare! So what do I do, but buy 2 kits from The Home Patch for 2 of Anni Downs' Christmas wall hangings. There is no hope for me! LOL.

Season's Greetings to all,

Take care everyone,

another finish!

hi everyone!  I have another finish!   yeah!  #58.  I am such a happy camper.  I have never been able to finish this many UFOs before.  I am feeling alike a big weight is being lifted. 

I just finish #10 of 12 small wall hangings.  I have been working on these for 2 years.  I just have Nov and Jan to finish!  that's it!  and the whole series will be done. 

I don't have a picture right now.  last time I updated my windows 8, I can no longer upload pictures from my phone.  sigh....  in the email they are jpgs, but when I go to download the pictures my only choice is a file.  not happy!!! 

anyway, it's 20.5 x 28.5, so about 1 1/2 yards.  nothing was bought for these 12 wall hangings.  Nov and Jan are finished tops, just need to quilt them.  I hang them on my laundry room door.  I am hoping I get them done before the end of the year. 

as soon as my son in law fixes this little hic up I will be posting pictures again.

Merry Christmas to all.  I know you are all busy sewing up a storm!  good luck in all your endeavors....


hugs...
