Busy Busy Busy


In no particular order this is what I have been 
working on of late

Steam Punk by Jen Kingwell


       A Bionic Bag (bk) and I made a Sew Together Bag



the interior pockets open


and closed


Auntie Greens Garden is really starting to
take shape, I am working on the top border
at the moment getting closer to finishing this
quilt will every stitch



Close ups for the detail





and finally I have finished my Green Tea and Sweet Beans
it was really hard to get a decent photo of it and its not as 
green as it looks, I just need some hand quilting lessons and
I'll finish it off properly

Henrietta the Hedgehog and family

When the gorgeous GnomeAngel put out the call for 

quilty peeps to join the Hazel QAL I jumped at
the chance, I have wanted to make a Hazel the Hedgehog for the 
longest time 

First decision was WHAT fabric to make it in,
I couldn't decide and as I am lacking
in the modern style fabrics a little shop
was in order.

I ended up buying a little bundle of

The Linen Cupboard by Emma Jean Jansen
and Moda Bella Solid in white
and a linen I have had since 2009



so I have spent the last week making Hedgehogs
12 babies and I large mama, Henrietta





now my little quilt isn't finished as I didn't think about binding
or backing or even a border, but I will amend that over the weekend
as I am visiting the lovely store I bought my lc bundle from.


I found it easiest to lay the spines out in  
order before I eyeballed the sewing line, I had to
do quite a bit of reverse sewing until I laid them out IN ORDER
before sewing them, 

I hate reverse sewing!


Please check back in a week for the finished Henrietta and Family.

Today its a Bionic Bag kind of day
