Week 6- Pets

Dirty paws, Purring, Barking, yawning, meowing.. Whats not to love. I have been wanting to get myself a puppy and a kitty for a long time now and I cannot wait. I think that I am growing slightly impatient. Braden might come home to find some new household members.....

Week 5 love nz

Week five block five. I loved my Nz Taupo trip that was earlier this year... Easter to tell the truth.
This has been finished for quite a while shoved in a box with all the other block plans for my favourite things quilt  It is a bit of a UFO at the moment....

I have been dancing in the lounge!

I wanted to create some labels for my quilts and after surfing the net I found many different options. Printing on a home inkjet printer seemed to be the most popular, however I wanted my labels to be waterproof (Call me picky) so I kept on searching...  Before my partner knew what I was up to I had already created and ordered some labels for my self.. They arrived in the post today :)
What do you think?

Table Runner Completed at last

OK, So I had finished this a while ago but had to keep it hidden, as I decided to give it to my Aunty. She came down last weekend so after making a neat tag for it I bundled it up and gave it to her. She was rather surprised and she seemed to love it. It was a great feeling. I will have to make more table runners soon.
Here is the finished project below....




So the last time I posted.....

Was a long time ago now EEk! how the time flys. I never got around to finishing that quilt.... I must have cut out hundreds of tiny triangles though then I got distracted with moving house... Finishing off a table runner that was a surprise gift for my aunty and I'm sure there are many more excuses, but tomorrow is a new day.

Single Bed Quilt Top

It's April and with a new month a new quilting goal must be made. So for this month I plan to cut all of the pieces for the top of my single quilt and sew the back! I am planning on combining yellows and greens for this quilt.
Hope it works out.

Linking up with....
A Lovely Year of Finishes

Finished my First Quilt! -"Gypsy in the woods"

I have finished my March goal for "A lovely Year of Finishes"! Sewing the quilt which measures 85" x 85" on my little sewing machine was a huge mission. I have learnt sooooo much. I was worried a few times during the project that I was being a bit to ambitious, as it has been my first sewing project and I used no pattern. I am extremely proud of myself. I now know how to operate a sewing machine!! But I am aware that there is plenty more for me to learn.
My finished project:-Front with part of the back showing.
Thanks again to Katherine and Isabel without you this quilt would not be what it is today :)
