Kipper's Coin Quilt

Poor little Kip has no quilt, she snuggles up to me at night and I am worried she is going to fall off the side. Using my fabric pack from Amitie I have whipped her up this little Chinese coins quilt in the hope she will move down the bed. Her as in she, yes, the vet confirmed that Kipper is indeedy-do a girl, not that it matters to us either way! A perfect little project to practice my BSR stipple quilting, not bad for a first turn (especially as I realised I was using BSR1 not BSR2; BSR1 is not regulated stitching, its just a normal stipple stitch!) Binding sewn on courtesy of Helen, please note the noice corners. 123 awwwwww.

Stash Sunday ~ Green and Orange

Flights of Fancy by Paula Prass, Tiled Garden, I have a few metres of each colourway, was thinking floor cushions for the living area but who knows, for now it's safley tucked away in my stash.

Stash Sunday ~ Amy Butler

Going to get back into regular posting for Stash Sunday. For this week, a very noice collection of Amy Butler spots and flowers. I bought these a few weeks ago, super fast posting from here to here then to me here!I have about 3m of the lotus green and the rest all half yards, would of loved whole yards but the cost $$$. Plan is to make some strip pieced cushions and maybe a matching quilt, we will see. At the moment is just for looking at.

Flat Cat

Poor Kippy, she is suffering from Flat Cat. Lethargic, high temperature, unwilling to eat, drink or move even a whisker. Rare vaccination side effects, 4 trips to the vet and she is feeling a little better, just wanting to be held. Muffin has to have his booster tomorrow, he's more robust with all that fur! I have been making some little cat quilts, simple designs in bright colours, purr-fect for practicing some BSR on my new machine. It's being delivered in 12 hours, yipee!!

Another 9 Patch

Another 9 patch on the way, I am hoping this one will be for Oliver's Teacher. Squares from my stash = 278 From Emma's = 323 From Helen = 173 From my mums = 290 Kipper getting all destructive with Emma's squares, lol. Thanks guys, I think I have enough to make 2 quilts with this lot!! Just need to cut a heap more white homespun, this quilt will be slighly different to the other 9 patch. I am only using purple tones and leaving the centre blocks white, still a 9 patch but not a 2 toned one. I got my inspiration here, from Red Pepper Quilts, I just love this quilt.

Back from the Craft Fair

and under budget!! I have gotten a fantastic deal on a new Bernina, and while I am sad that my Janome will be going to a new home (I got an excelent trade in), I am thrilled that the Auora 440 will be moving in!!
For todays squishy purchases...some $3.50 spotty FQ, I have a thing for spots~ Some discontinued Katie Jump rope~ Some Aboriginal FQ's $6 each, my neighbour collects Aboriginal Art so I am going to make her a table runner~ And no pic, but I bought this Quilt Kit here from Dyed and Gone to Heaven, a great simple pieced quilt that will give me a great oportunity to practice my FMQ with my BSR. Woo Hoo, bring on Wednesday when it gets delivered!
I did buy a few other FQ's for various projects and I got a great Amitie Scrap Pack for $10. All in all, a great day!

Sewing Set Up

Messy? Yes, but I know where everything is and everything is accessible, including Muffin. Bob dislikes my nook, thinks I am overtaking the living area slowly. Will look into some more fabric storage this weekend, and repack my tubs, I have alot of UFO's, or WOMBAT'S as Helen calls them (Waste Of Material, Batting And Time!!)
