Lizzie the quilter: New Projects

I have a lot of secret sewing going on in my little studio this week, so even though I have been doing lots of sewing I don't have much I can share. I did finish this sweet little basket, its going to be filled with baby things and given to the new mum very soon. It was a fun little project.

This little snippet is my brand new quilt design, its not due to be published until September. I wanted to share this photo of my binding. Don't you just love stripes. Especially black and white ones. I love how the stripes met on this corner of the quilt.

I am in a block swap with a group of ladies, each month we make a block while someone is making my block. It goes for 12 months. This is the block I just made, Its called Tree of Life. It looks challenging but really its not. This is going to be a beautiful quilt when the owner of these blocks puts it altogether.

Just for fun I have started a new quilt, lots of little 9 patch blocks in the middle. We bought a new sofa so of course i have to have a quilt to match.

The mess on the right is more little blocks waiting to be pressed.

I have been going through my quilts and I am just running out of room so I decided to list a few of my favourites for sale in my etsy shop. I would love for you to take a look, The link is in the sidebar of my blog.

Have a wonderful Sunday. xx

a good yarn said...: So much for not having much to share! Lovely projects Leanne - those baskets have a multitude of uses and it's fun to fill them with goodies; I do love a striped binding but it would never meet up so perfectly for me! Looking forward to the reveal. That is a mountain of nine patches to be pressed but looks like the beginning of a delightful quilt. I'm sure your unwanted quilts won't last long - that ones a really beauty.; February 26, 2017 at 3:26 PM
