Bird Cot Quilt

I am slowly working through my large pile of UFO's. Attempting without sucess not to start anything new. This quilt was one of the UFO's. I quilted it in January and just needed to sew the binding down.

 

 One UFO down, who knows how many more are in the pile?

Small Quilt

I completed this small quilt early January. It's approximately 40 inches by 40 inches and simply quilted in straight lines diagonally across each square. I have had the animal fabrics in my stash for a while. I love them and wanted to make something special with them. The red and blue is fabric I tried to match and was purchased at Gail B.

I love how the colours have come together and are very happy with the results.

A Finished UFO - Purple Butterfly Quilt

I have had the top to this quilt completed for about 4 years. I also have had all the materials to complete it sitting there. Oh the conundrum of the UFO, why are they so hard to complete? I finally got around to finishing it this weekend. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner, because once I got started it only took an afternoon to complete and I am pleased with the results.

A 30th Birthday Quilt

My beautiful friend is turning 30. I wanted to give her a special gift. I could not decide on anything. I was looking in Gail B and I saw a beautiful pack of charm squares and had a light bulb moment, "I will make her a quilt!"
Here are the results.
The fabric range is 'Its a Hoot' by Mo Mo for Moda. This is the first quilt I have had professionally quilted. I had it quilted by Anita at Hillside Quilting and I am 100% satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Anita.
I gave the quilt to my girlfriend this weekend. There were tears, she loved it!

Baby Shower Gift

I few weeks ago I attended my first baby shower. It was for a work colleague and it was loads of fun. I decided to make hand made gifts for the baby. I made a green bambino. These are great to make. The pattern is a Melly and Me and I purchased a pack of fabric made up for this specific project from Gail B. It takes the pain out of choosing matching fabric.
I also made a small pram sized quilt or mat. Its my first attempt at a square in a square patten. I am pleased with the results, however some of my blocks are not as crisp as I would like them to be.
Here are the individual squares.
The green,
The blue,
The red. And here is the whole quilt, ta da.
It was lovely to see my colleague and friend open this hand made gift. As she did, she mouthed at me "did you make this?" To which a nodded shyly as my heart swelled with pride. I will miss this lovely lady at work as she begins her new journey as a mother. I wish her and her family all the very best and hope to see her soon.

Baby Quilt

We have a new nephew.
I have made him a special present, a beautiful bright quilt.
3 years ago (before I was a blogger) I made his big brother one when he arrived. This quilt was the second one I had ever made. I think that it was beautiful too.
Happy, sunny, patchwork, just lovely!
