One Day in May Creations by Melissa Grant - Thankful BOM

Im up to making my third block of this quilt and it is such a joy to make. Each block is so diverse, you are doing different things all the time. I love things with dimension which is why I love Melissas work so much. Here is the first block I made, I am making two quilts in different colours so you can see the colour interpretations.

A long overdue blog post

Now that the silly season is over, where on earth did those couple of months go. Despite the heat and the busy season, I have managed to do some sewing. I made a few things for Christmas gifts, I am really enjoying printing on fabric and making them into small bowl fillers and cushions, they look really nice when done. I also finished off a Union Jack Quilt, need to make a nice cushion to match now, I love the Moda Etchings range, it is lovely. I made my postcard stitchery into a cushion, I love this stitchery and really need to make some more as it has turned out lovely. Finally I have started a new project, I am making One Day In May Creations, BOM of Thankful quilt, I am making two at once and have just finished Block 1 and love it already. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and best wishes for 2012.

Its Christmas Time

I love putting up my tree. My handmade ornies are so warm and natural and each one is special, I love my ornies from friends from swaps. And though I dont have little children anymore, my tree is pretty childproof...lol

and then.......

I picked up a jelly roll of modas new fabric, Etchings, thought about it for a week of what I really wanted to make, Im really into Union Jacks at the moment so I have made up these blocks this arvo, tonite Ill think about what Ill do between them to make them into a quilt for my lounge room. Once again I must sing the praises to the humble glue stick, so much better than pins when sewing something like these strips, holds them in place perfectly. Thankyou Bostik....lol
