A New Year

This is a creation I have come up with over the Christmas period.

It is a pincushion/sewing keeper.

I had two Quilt As You Go blocks leftover from a quilt I made for my little girl for Christmas. I had a brain wave to make it into some type of 'thing'.. I really didnt know what. After playing around with some bias... and putting my thinking cap on I came up with the above idea.

inside is the pincushion

This is made from the other Quilt As You Go Block.
I will put a tutorial up for this in the next little while. I just want to get a holiday in so Im fresh and ready for a new start this year.

Over the Christmas time I was very busy.
Our son Matt turned 21. So I had to organise a dinner for him. He didnt want to have anything too big so I cooked dinner for 18 people . in amongst our daughter turning 29 so it was a very busy month for me.

I did manage to get some creating done though

Some Christmas Trees from my Christmas Tree Tutorial on the sidebar as well as some other things

This year on my blog I am hoping to run another Colour Swap. I did this a couple of years ago so keep an eye out for this. I also have a new Block Of the Month I have been working on that I will have available. I plan to give you some more tutorials and some more patterns. I also plan to create to  make as the inspiration comes over me...

So I hope this year is kind to you and you have a wonderful holiday season with family and friends

QAYG Tutorial

I have been admiring these gorgeous quilts lately. A number of people have been making them for Christchurch Earthquake victims and also Queensland Flood victims. I have admired many I have seen. I would like to make one myself. Looks quick, simple and easy which is me!

I did a google search and came across this link... click HERE to visit. It is a great tutorial for QAYG quilts and gives very easy instructions... even a PDF for you to download. Also at the same blog I came across the Heartstring Quilt..which is the pink photo I have used above...I just love it ... PDF for this is available too... click HERE to check the pink quilt out

I have cut out my Tilda Hare... looking good I must say. I will try to get to sewing it this week.
