Off to England!

Now wouldn't that be nice! But no . . . I'm not off to England. This little quilt that I finished off last night is though. I finished off the FMQ'ing through the week and the hand binding last night while watching the tv. It is for a little man called Morris. I hope they like it!

And some new fabric covered button hair elastics that i have just listed in my Madeit Shop - I got loads of the most gorgeous Japanese small print fabrics in the post this week - too cute!

Getting ready to market

I seem to have been a quiet blogger of late. I have been busy sewing and quilting away in preparation for a few markets coming up between now and Christmas - I can't believe Christmas is so soon! Anyway, I have a market this Sunday coming, plus a big 2 day ag show coming up at the end of August so am busy trying to utilise all the fabric in my stash - to keep hubby happy that I am not over spending on fabric, lol!

Lots more new dresses in the new design

Pretty little skirts
A new play-a-long quilt top finished.
This is a custom order that will be heading to England when complete!

Close up of quilt - perfect boy fabrics! The colours of these traffic jam fabrics are fantastic!

A Quilting we will go . . .

I have been busy this week going through my fabric stash wishing I had more, cutting up lots of market projects ready to sew and doing some quilting. I now have 4 quilts on the go.

This is some gorgeous fabric from the 'Oh Cherry Oh' range. I picked out the deep reds and bright blues from a jelly roll I had and am making these into a 'Take-a-long' quilt in a coin quilt design. Finally a boy's quilt! This is going to be a cot size quilt using these fabulous 'Traffic Jam' fabrics.

Some more fabric from the 'Oh Cherry Oh' range - blocks done and sashing all cut out ready to put this top together for another 'Take-a-long' quilt.
And finally this little completed quilt top - another 'Take-a-long' quilt using the 'Sweet' by Urban Chicks fabrics - just gorgeous!

These quilts are all destined for the shop - hopefully in time for the Christmas in July promotion coming up. Stay tuned to find out what special I will be offering on all items in the shop during the promotion!

A 'Sweet' little quilt

Another little play-a-long quilt that I have listed at my ETSY shop. This one was made using fabrics called 'Sweet' by Urban Chicks. Gorgeous colours and prints. The backing fabric I picked up at Spotlight earlier this week. I quilted ths one is a series of wavy lines acros the length and width of the fabric. I am still yet to tackle straight line machine quilting - am loving just free-motion quilting everything, I love the crinkly antique effect it gives the quilts.
