A cold Sunday Morning

 Oh boy its cold this morning, it was -2 when I got out of bed. I should have stayed there. Its a lovely sunny day though and a thick frost everywhere, so I reckon by lunch time it will be at least oh..... 5 degrees. Time to turn the fire up I think.  I have a beautiful quilt to share with you today. I have been working on this dresden quilt for well over 12 months.

 It was on eof those projects that I lost interest in for awhile then I'd get it out again and do a bit more. Finally its finished. Well almost, need to bind it yet. I wanted to show you the beautiful quilting that was done by Sarah at patchworks plus, its all custom quilted and it turned out amazing. I have never had a quilt of mine custom quilted before.

 Its a bit hard to see the full detail but each block has a floral pattern.

 I really love this quilt and I am looking foreward to getting the binding on so I can use it on these cold mornings.

 Speaking of bindings, I got this quilt bound as well. I took a little trip to the park for some smart photography. It was good fun.

I am thinking of a new design to use my new Hello Darling fabric bundle by Bonnie & Camille, its such a pretty range. I love their fabrics.
Ok, its time for a nice hot cup of tea to warm me up.
Have a wonderful day and I hope you find some sewing time.

Happy Mothers Day

 I have had a bit of a funny week, started out great then on Wednesday I started getting a cold, by Thursday I was really unwell, High temperature and a barking cough that would scare the most ferocious dog. But like all great women I soldiered on with my day to day jobs.

Last weekend I made some fabric baskets, didn't they turn out well, I was so pleased with them. My favourite one is the  Home town text print.  They are all different sizes, I didn't have a pattern, I just used what fabric I had in the cupboard and whatever size it  was, that was the size of the basket.

 These 2 are now in my bathroom on a shelf full of goodies all bathrooms have, body wash and soaps.

 A couple  of weeks ago I started making  this quilt. Its a free block  pattern from the fat quarter shop  called Single girl wedding ring. It was such a fun block to put together, I made my blocks bigger, they are 18 inches square. I used mostly fabrics from my stash, I just had to buy a few darker prints.

 I enjoyed adding some of my liberty fabrics and of course some Bonnie & Camille mixed in with some fig tree. I love mixing fabrics and making a scrappy kind of quilt.

Pink liberty and Tilda fabric look so pretty together. I made 20 blocks and its a really nice size.
Can't wait to get this one quilted.

Its been a lovely but quiet Mothers Day here, Hubby has been at work all day, son 1 & 2  are at work so its been me and son no. 3.  We have had a nice day together.

I hope you have had a wonderful mothers day.

Thanks for stopping by.
