Shells

Happy New Year!!

I have just sent journal quilts to New Zealand for an Exhibition at the Expressions Gallery in Upper Hutt.  There are eight of us in our 8 by 8 group and we are exhibiting the first eight quilts we made in 2012/13.  The first quilt we had to make for the 12inches by 15 inches challenge was "Shells".  My quilt used deconstructed screen printing, thermofax printing and TAP transfers of photos of shells in my collection.

Merry Christmas

I hope you all have a happy Christmas and wonderful New Year.

Take care

Christmas House Table Runner

I also finished a second Table Runner for my Mum it is based on an Esch House Quilts pattern called Third Street Neighborhood.  I made mine a bright happy version and it will fit well into my Mum's wooden house.  It is now wrapped up for Christmas. Phew!!!

Improv Stripes Table Runner

Wow I finished the Table Runner and it is now wrapped under the Christmas Tree!

From a pattern in "Set the Table" by That Patchwork Place

Tablerunner in progress

I have pieced a new table runner using my favourite sea/beach colours.  It is based on a pattern from a book called "Set the Table" by Martingale.  Just finished the basting and now off to do the machine quilting.

Fabric cards for Christmas

I had fun yesterday making Fabric postcards for Christmas.  Some silk fabric from Indonesia provided the inspiration.  I bonded the fabric with vilene and machine quilted.   They have been posted off to friends.

DUDQ Swap - my mini quilt

This is a photo of the quilt I made for my swap partner.  It is a Stitched in Color pattern from the Penny Sampler online course - flower pot.  I loved making it and the instructions were great.
