Another project

I think you can never have enough projects on the go, that is my theory at least. I love to have many projects on the go at the same time and today I have pulled the fabric for another.

When my Mother in law passed away I was given all her fabric and the only request was that I make a quilt from it for her grandson, a gorgeous boy who is currently three and a half years old. The request was for a blue and red quilt. I have searched for something that I would enjoy making and that would suit the blue and red request for a boy that would see him grow. I found Nancy Mahoney's "True Colours"  http://nancymahoney.com/blog/2014/01/13/true-colors and decided that was the one to make. I have chosen many of the blue and red pieces from my MIL's stash and ordered Nancy's book Simple Circles and Quick Curves.

I am looking forward to starting this one but just may have to add an extra colour or two.

Maybe I should finish another project while I wait for the book, make some room in my sewing space.

Hexies, Hexies

Just a quick update of where I am at with the hexagons. So far I have just over 60 flowers completed and approximately 45 more to go. I am enjoying the portability of this hand piecing project. Next, to start planning all the hexagons for between the flowers to complete this quilt top. I am not sure what I will do with it when it is finished but I think I have plenty of time to work that out.

Has it Been That Long?

I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted anything. Life has been very busy and I have been sewing for the upcoming school fete. There have been items made to sell at the craft stall and a lot of bunting for decorating the school on the day. Below are the photos of the bunting triangles still waiting to be bound for hanging. The bunting in the photo is approximately one third of what I have cut. The school is where I work and our children have been educated. We only have our youngest left at school and he is in his second last year. We love our school, Prince of Peace Lutheran College. It truly is a wonderful place.

There has been much pinning and stabbing of fingers as I make my way through these 1763 triangles.

It will be a bright and colourful school on the big day. For the craft stall I have been appliquéing tea towels, making felt moose Christmas ornaments, topping hand towels and crocheting stars. I have plenty more fete projects planned but as per usual will probably run out of time.

I made the moose based on a picture I saw on-line. Unfortunately I do not know where I found the original picture, but I thought he was rather cute.

Anyway, back to the bunting.

Happy stitching.
