Cushion Capers

This is my version of the challenge 'make a cushion in a week' in which I added all the elements but did my own thing to suit me!

Underground Railroad blocks

Here's my North Star block which is the penultimate block in this project, the final block being a story to tie all the Underground Railroad quilt together.
North Star...

And my story block...

This came with mini photos of blocks in place but I replaced them with photos of my own blocks I've made to tie everything together. I've really enjoyed this project with my online quilting friends and have acquired some fabric for the back of the quilt which will be perfect so watch this space....but not too closely as I need some time to complete this quilt, and this is a keeper quilt so it's all mine.....

Catching up with you all....

Hi All

To those of you who are below par for whatever reasons, I'm sending out virtual hugs to you, and 'feel better soon' wishes too!

I'm still working on the quilt for my work colleague but progress is very slow as I'm suffering from a fibromyalgia flare-up and boy! the pain in my arms is severe, so much so that simple tasks like just picking up a hot kettle is proving difficult and painful. I know it'll get better if I pace myself and rest so that's exactly what I'm going to have to do. I've been doing smaller (less taxing on my arms) projects in between so after completing machine applique on 4 blocks for above quilt, I managed to put the binding on my Rennie Macintosh wallhanging yesterday. I loved this when I saw it and with a gift from a quilty friend, I've completed the wallhanging for me! YES ME! hahaha...eyes off!  For those of you who know me well, you'll know that I never usually keep what I make but this was for me from the start so it's going in my hall...or bedroom...or lounge...well somewhere because I love it.
And here it is -

Thanks Tessa x

Mini-break away!

Hi All

We're back from our mini holiday to K's in Suffolk - had a great time. All quilty deliveries for Eden have been made. She loves her Red Ellie-phant of course (favourite colour) as well as her blue Ollie-phant, and her Harriet Hare or her 'rabbit'. The curtains look really lovely in her room -

Bunting looks lovely too............

Jet really like the curtains so I've got an order for a sky/garden with trees/flowers/butterflies  and ladybird bugs (buttons) like Eden's, and Brennan wants the TARDIS and Planets for his 'quilt' curtains...mmm that's me busy for a long time to come....

Also -

managed to complete 3 x Advent calendar kits to take with me, which they love and are looking forward to using them.....

Got lovely fabrics for my birthday off my family and of course, just had to pick up some 'rainy day' ½ metres, as well as fabrics for a cot quilt for a new baby boy in the family. My family are calling me a fabric addict now....what took them so long to realise!!!!!! hahaha

Underground Railroad block - Sail Boat

...and here's my Sail Boat block. I think there's one more block to make for this and a further optional block with the story on which I'll do too...

Lovely easy block to do. The blue 'sea' fabric I had on this yesterday, has now be replaced by a more muted fabric which I like better and it ties all the blocks together too.

Bunting for Eden's room

Hi All
Just finished Eden's room bunting - photos are not true colours as they are pastels rather than bolder colours as shown. Trouble photographing as too long for my walls so I've taken pics of each part of her name.

Photos are rubbish but it'll look so much nicer on her bedroom wall.

Introducing Ollie-phant for Eden

Hi All
Hope you're all well and looking forward to the promise of better weather this week, at least in the UK.
I've made a red 'phant' as requested by Eden named Ollie-phant and here she is with her buddy Effie-phant...

Hope she likes them and Harriet Hare. I'm still working on curtains and bunting for her bedroom then I'll be able to post to her. She thinks every parcel that arrives at her house are her toys.
