Web Walkabout.. and a note about my Blogiversary

April 17, 2011

I’m sure you all understand that Life Happens. Not to worry, I’ll just be having my celebrations THIS week instead of [...]

Lovely bunny cake from: Cake Journal

One year ago today I started this blog. Here is the first post I wrote – short and sweet! I plan to carry on in this spirit today (mostly because I am still busy preparing the blogiversary celebrations!)
I wouldn’t have imagined, as I wrote that first post, that just one [...]

Wednesday Hex-Along

March 9, 2011

The hexie count this week…

I am aiming for about 200 1½” hexagons so that I can make a cushion with hexagons covering the front and back. Won’t be too much longer!
I had hoped to make another 30 or so larger hexies yesterday but when I tried to get out of bed yesterday morning I could [...]

In 5 Hours I Made..

March 6, 2011

I don’t know how long it would usually take to make one of these (you know, for a speedier-than-me sewer!) but it took me about 5 hours to make my Cabrio Tote last night.

As part of Leah’s sew along, we were supposed to make the bag according to a schedule (which is the whole idea [...]

So, I decided that periodically I would post a bunch of ‘things’ and you could vote for your favourite. I will have rounds of things that are similar throughout the year. [...]

You Know You’re Addicted To Quilting When..

February 20, 2011

..You slice the tip of your finger off with your rotary cutter and the first thought you have is, “Oh no! Did I bleed on my fabric?” Then, if you are like me and totally in a creative frenzy, you attend to said injury by tying a handkerchief on your finger with a hairband and [...]

Block-a-palooza Blocks 1 to 3

February 16, 2011

I have remade the first block after showing it to you the other day. I changed out the white space for some pink stripe to give it a bit more zing. I’m really loving these blocks and sewing with this fabric. My heart skips a beat every time I glance over at my Sweet Broderie [...]

Hearting Hexies…

February 9, 2011

I have been making hexies for a few months now. It’s so lovely and relaxing just to sit on the couch and stitch up hexies while watching TV!

I learnt how to make hexies with this tutorial:

Block-a-palooza!

February 2, 2011

So have you heard about the Blogger’s Block-a-Palooza Quilt Along? Doesn’t it sound like fun! Anyone else joining in?
Here’s my first block, ‘Flying Over Fields‘.

I will mostly be using Sweet Broderie fabrics, because they are so so so so so pretty. {Sorry, my needle got stuck.}
Can’t wait to start block 2!
