Doll Quilt Progress.

It's taken me longer than I was expecting to finish this project but I've almost finished the quilt top. Remember this pic?

House of Turquoise

It was this that gave me the idea...

I even love the white bird. (still wondering if I should add the bird yet) I wanted to add more colour though, and so this is what I've got so far...

After putting it all together I realised that it was a little small so I'm adding a couple more rows.

It's made up of a standard drunkards path block. It has been a little fiddly to make as each block is about 5cm square (2 inches) but the finished product was worth it.

So what do you think? I would love to hear if you have any suggestions.

Just another day.

I've been keeping an eye out for the posty since last week for some goodies I'm expecting. Can't wait to get started on my first Dresden plate. This is the pic that made me take the plunge!

Bloomin Workshop

So pretty isn't it? I love those colours together! Things I needed were...

a Dresden template and...

a charm pack. (I didn't need this as much as I wanted it)

Very adorable colours. Can't wait to get started.

I've been busy working hard on a couple of other jobs this month. No where near as fun as sewing and quilting but you know how it is, gotta make a living. Thanks for sticking around though. I love your visits and comments. They make my day!

It just popped into my head!

Here's a question for you. What do you do with a wine glass when the stem has broken off?

You grow something in it of course!! (not mold if that's what your thinking)

A little soil plus a geranium cutting from the garden equals an oh so cute "pot plant" for my kitchen.

Now I'm no green thumb but I love the look of this and because there is no drainage I've only been spraying the plant with water. If this doesn't live I'll just try something else.

 It's new home is right beside my chopping boards so I can enjoy looking at it every morning!

Oh and after a lot of umms and arghs I think I have the fabric selection for my Down Under Doll Quilt Swap. I'm still adding to it so this isn't the end but I like the direction it's taking.

 

Just hope my secret partner likes it too! It's kinda hard to make a quilt without putting your influence and style into it. I guess that's the point of a swap, to receive something you like but probably not something you would have made for yourself. I'm getting really excited about receiving mine! I'm loving everything that's being added onto the Flickr group so any one of those would sit proudly on my wall or table!
I'll keep you posted! ;)
