Le Jardin Block One

Finally finished block one of my Le Jardin Quilt.

I have almost completed block two of my Tiny Town quilt. Just have to do the handstitching then I will post a picture. Fabric for block 3 has already arrived so had better get my butt into gear cause I am determined not to get behind on this quilt - like I do with every other BOM that I do :(

Regards Rob

New Fabric

Red Rose Farm

I have just received my fat quarter bundle of this fabric and like it better than the photos. The fabric is actually brighter. The yellow and blue are lovely. I intend to make a pretty bag and bed runner or quilt out of this. Lovers of pretty roses will not be disappointed with the Red Rose Farm range.

Tiny Town Block One

Block One finished (yay). I machine appliqued with a button hole stitch. There are a few little buttons to go on for the door handles but I will leave those till the quilt is finished and quilted.

If you are interested in doing this quilt, I am doing it through The Fat Quarter Shop but I think they have filled their quota. I have also seen it on http://www.shabbyfabrics.com/ but to date have not seen it available in Australia. Will let you know if I do.

The pattern can be purchased from the designer www.bunnyhilldesigns.com.

Tiny Town BOM

Just received Block One of the Tiny Town Block of the Month by Bunny Hill Designs. I am doing it through The Fat Quarter Shop (USA) they are using the Fresh Cottons range from Fig Tree Quilts and Martinique by 3 Sisters (as shown in photo).

I am a cheat and will machine applique mine so will show you photo when it's finished. I am also too lazy to reverse the pattern when it's not completely necessary, so some of my houses etc will be facing the opposite direction to the pattern but they still look cute.

Talk soon Rob xo

Quilting Machine Fixed

FINALLY got my sewing machine back and it has a new bobbin case which works like a dream. Can't believe I put up with the old one for so long. I have just finished quilting the Beach House Large Runner (shown above) and will quilt my Home Sweet Home quilt later today if I get motivated.

Yesterday received my Luna Notte Fat Quarter Bundle. These fabrics are just beautiful. The colours have an antique look about them. I have put mine in this cute tin box and placed them on display (too yummy to store away).

Talk soon. Rob
