Work in Progress - Mendocino Quilt


YAY! Quilt top is finished! Oh NO!!! Out of batting... I will have to make a trip down to the sewing shop tomorrow and stock up! Which means I can start cutting the next quilt now!

A little help goes a long way


My little Mia is very interesting in sewing too, here she is helping me put together the pieces for the quilt we are making!

Mendocino Quilt


Here are some of the fabrics I will use for the next quilt I'm making. They are mostly from Heather Ross' Mendocino collection! I've had these fabrics for a long time and today I just felt like using them!

Frill Me Bag - Purple Tones


Last week I cut up a whole heap of bags to sew and today I finished the first one. I modified the pattern a little, but still need to change a few things for the next one I make.

Frill Me Bag


Today I found some spare time and made this bag, which I know I will use a lot! Fabrics used are from Heather Bailey's Freshcut Collection which I just love. The pattern used is Melly & Me's ''Frill Me''. I modified the pattern a little as I always do. I think I will make a few more of these!

I don't normally cook with an apron, but really I should!  I love looking at aprons and think they just make your kitchen look complete!

Today I finished these two reversible aprons, both made using Erin McMorris Park Slope fabric and a little bit of Heather Ross's dots.

Pinwheel Quilt

I finished this quilt last November, but somehow forgot to add it to my blog, so here it is!  

The quilt is a Pinwheel Quilt with mostly Moda Recess fabric, but also some Flea Market Fancy & Michael Miller ''Rockets''.  For backing I used an IKEA Numbers fabric which I just love.  I used Michael Miller ''Ta Dot'' for binding.  


I used Thimble Blossoms "WILD THING" pattern but added borders to each block.  

a Little Halter Dress


I've been thinking about making some dresses for little girls for a while now, but just haven't got around to it. So tonight I made this one for my daughter, Mia. It was really easy to make, so I can't wait to make a few more now! Best of all, she liked it too!
