Ginger biscuits

The sun is shining, Master W and Master B are happily playing ginger biscuits and lemon poppy seed muffins made!

Farmers Wife Sample Quilt Progress

I am finding it easier to flick through the Farmers Wife Sample Quilt book and pick the blocks that at the moment look easy/ require the least amount of effort and that I have the perfect fabric combination for in my fabric box until I gain more confidence with triangles/other shapes that I am required to make!
I got 5 made in one evening.

Circle Quilt progress

Creative Mama Leave a Comment

I have had a productive last week working on the circle quilt. Feeling pretty impressed with my self that [a] the semi circles are easier than I expected to sew back into the block [b] it all lines up pretty well [c] that I love the fabric choices I made!

Laying out the blocks

It all sewn together

Close up

Backing Fabric

Backing fabric arrived today from Stitchworks and I am really happy with the colour and its also 2.7m wide so the back will just be one large piece of fabric.

Just deciding now if the front needs a white boarder around the circles before I have to cut off all my loose threads and iron (again) then basting and quilting starts!

Starting another quilt- Rainbow Quilt

I have started a quilt, this time for friends expecting a baby early next year.

I had an idea (more scribbled down an idea just before going to sleep one night) and the plan is to have it like this... a Rainbow quilt

My idea scribbles

So after sorting through my fabrics/scraps this is my fabric selection and you can see the way I laid it out is more or less my scribbled idea and it looks like a rainbow!
