My Creative space...


So very close to finishing this quilt that started a long long time ago... sounds like the start of a fairy tale so I'm looking forward to the warm fuzzies and the end of this creation. It's fox's quilt. he's been on my tail to get it finished and i tried so hard to make a 'masculine' type quilt only to be told otherwise. Never mind, I'm sure he'll enjoy snuggling up under it very soon.



My second project on the go is my Quilt for Queensland. Just after i started making this baby the foot pedal on the pfaff gave up in the humidity and who can blame it really, it's been a hell of a wet season to put it nicely. A replacement pedal arrived from the states last week and I'm just it the process of quilting it together.


I decided to hand quilt it to give some extra loving to it's soon to be new owner. Never hand quilted before... it's a bit harsh on the finger tips but amazingly relaxing and fulfilling at the same time. You should try it.

I have one more project on the go but I will save it for later. Have fun checking out all the lovely Creative spaces over at Kootoyoo.... looks like the lovely Kirsty is trying something new too :)

Next...

So my little sister (hi ren, love you x) has been on my case to blog more and to be honest I have lots to blog about Iv'e just been preoccupied with life. You know.

My next project is to make a king size quilt for fox & I. Iv'e made pretty stuff for everyone else so now it's our turn. I have been eyeing off this fabric range for alittle while and when our dollar went above the 90 cent US mark I took the opportunity to grab the whole range from etsy.



It's hilarious to me that I can buy designer fabric and get it shipped from US for less than what it costs to go to the local big chain fabric store. I'm still unsure what design i'm going to use or even if i'll design it myself but i don't want to mess it up.

I like this style from Make it... A wonderful Life. but i'm not sure it will work with the straight lines in my fabric.

What do you think?

P.S. I am still working on that top, my machine and i have had a few misunderstandings that started when the feed dog decided it was hungry and ate a chunk of material. I'm still working on it but just in very slow steps.
