Hi everyone,
Had a fun crafty afternoon!
I've started to also do some stitchery!
I found this pattern by rosalie quinlan which is done in all red Cosmo cotton. This will be a present for my mum!
I've also started a new lap quilt for my cousin! All blocks completed tonight! I brought this quilt kit from craftsy.
All 56 blocks completed. Now I just need to sew this together with white sashing in between! I have also decided to add in my own border to make it bigger than the kit!
Below pics of how the stitchery shall look completed & the quilt kit!

Stitchery book
Hi every one,
Decided tonight to complete my stitchery book to place my hand embroidery in!
I got this pattern from a new book titled 'Stitch Zakka'.
The embroidery pattern on the front was pretty simple & only took me 2 hours. It then took me another 2 hours to put it together!
Printed Fabric for the inside was from Sarah Fielke & some plain linen for the outside!
See pics below:

All tied up!

Birds - baby mobile
Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog!
I had not done any projects for quite a while but made a few blocks from my Tula Pink sampler book.
This weekend I decided to make a baby mobile for a girl at work who's having a baby.
This project was easy. I purchased the fabric yesterday and put it together pretty quickly!
I decided to sew the birds on some thick string & add some bells!
I found the pattern on: http://www.lavendersbluedesigns.com/diy-fabric-bird-tutorial-free-printable/

Tula Pink sampler quilt
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a fun book to quilt with. Tula Pinks city sampler '100 modern quilt blocks'.
Today I managed to do blocks 1 & 2 in two hours. Very easy for a novice like myself!
Block 1
Block 2.
Last weekend I finally put my quilt together & quilted it. Now I just need to make binding & finish it off.
This quilt was made using Amy Butlers gypsy caravan fabric.
Ready to bind & complete!
Happy sewing ;-)
