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/

Took me a few weeks to complete the binding.

Fabric used was Amy butler gypsy caravan!

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 ;-)
