Ladybug and Flowers Quilt

I have a story for everything don't I. That's what makes it so much fun. I had all this bright colourful fabric, which is really unusual for me because I'm normally a pastel or country kind of gal. Anyway it caught my eye and I bought it, over time, some was given to me. I wondered what to do with it. I was going to make some cushions for Dreams and Traditions with the flowers (our logo had a flower on it) so I had them cut out but then of course it all changed. I looked and looked at them, I hate wasting things so then I thought what about a quilt. The flowers looked pretty boring by themselves so I added some leaves and ladybugs and Viola!! the quilt was born. Not really sure what I'll do with it now, I might save it for my first grandchild!! I'm starting to get more confident with my machine now and Quilt in the Ditch is just so easy, the speed of the machine is so easy to regulate! I might give stippling a go soon.

The Moo Mat

I know I'm just a little bit odd! But I love cows. I have cows everywhere, and I figured that I could have them in the loo too! So I made a toilet mat with a cow on it!! It's a bit of fun! Now I'm thinking a series would be good. The Oink Mat! The Baa Mat! (Ha, Ha!) or just for my hubby The Hiss Mat (his love is reptiles)

The Quote Quilt

The Quote Quilt is very dear to my heart as I made it for my son. He has always had a drive and passion to succeed. Not a bad thing. He wants to be rich and successful. He has big dreams but it never ceases to amaze me how firmly his feet are planted on the ground. He has quotes on bits of paper all over his room so I made him this quilt so he could have his quotes and his long suffering girlfriend could have some semblance of sanity (post it notes are not a decoration or wall covering) I've only just finished it and it is currently awaiting postage to him. I hope he likes it!

Dreams Cushion and Wall Hanging

Whilst I was working/helping out at a card making party plan place called 'Dreams and Traditons' I started making this wall hanging and bolster cushion to brighten up the place. Unfortunately my time there ended before I managed to finish the projects. The quote on the wall hanging was what we used as our Motto! It was a fascinating time and I learnt heaps whilst I was there. Dianne was a wonderful creative person and it was certainly a positive experience for me.

Textured Rainbow Poncho

I was working in a craft shop when this poncho came about, some new yarn from Shepherd came in. The first border is done in Pipkin, the 8ply is Colour For Me. The other specialty yarns are mixed, some Sullivans, Patons Feathers. It was a display piece for the yarn. I don't think the photo does it much justice. The sizing was 2-4, 6-8, 10-12.

Baby Bow Tie Flannel Quilt

This next project was inspired by a heap of flannel squares that I bought off ebay. I had so many of them, all different and I had no idea what to do with them. I love Bow Tie's, they look so complicated but are so easy to do - so I made a quilt! The quilt was backed and bound with flannel.

Peg Apron "I hate Four Letter Words"

This was my second design, I like practicality as well as cuteness!!

More Items Yet to Come

How did you like my Toaster Cover?

Lets get a few more pictures up here and brighten up the place

I'll post them seperately from now on so that I can title them. I've had a great time setting everything up. Did you see my list? That's all the things I'm working on or have just about finished.

I'll change the list from time to time, not everything is up there, just the things I could remember off the top of my head.

My next step is to set up an Ebay store, just in case you REAALLLY like my patterns!! I'll let you know when I've done it.

I couldn't wait to get home today to work on this blog a little more.

Talk soon

Welcome!

Hello and Welcome to my very first post!

I guess you'd like to know a little about me, well I'm a 30 odd year old, married, mother of three (two almost grown up). I work full time in the admin side of Real Estate. I live in Sunny Queensland. I have a passion for craft - any craft! I love it all. I have been crafting for about 20 years. Six years ago I began teaching craft and five years ago I began designing craft. I work in all mediums, just can't seem to stick to one!

Now I'm ready to put my work out there and maybe, just maybe get published. At least though I might get some feedback on my designs.

I like Quirky, Cute and Country as you will see!!!

So I hope you come back and visit often as I'm going to be putting up my works as I create them. Feel free to give me some feedback on them. I can take it!!

Well, for now I'm going to leave you with my very first design.

Ciao for now

Happy Crafting
