L’uccello Haberdashery

I went here while in Melbourne last weekend – it was fabulous. Heaps of things I wanted to purchase, but I was attempting to travel light (only carry on baggage). Above is what I did buy. I plan to make the girls head bands with the ribbons and the fat quarters? Well you can never [...]

New Quilt Design

I’m going to make Miss A a quilt using three fabrics (from my stash) – it is going to consist of big plus signs. I’m still working on the baby clothes quilt (I cut a few more squares everyday) and the knitting project (I’m about to start knitting the lace pattern), but they are both [...]

Another baby is on the way – due at the end of February (not me obviously!). It is 30 charm squares and a white border. I bought the charm squares ages ago from the Fat Quarter Shop (sorry I can’t remember the name). Everything including the backing and wadding came from my stash (slightly embarrassing [...]

Dino Quilt Backing

  I made this backing for the dinosaur quilt. All the fabric is from my stash. I thought Miss P might not be so keen on dinosaurs when she is a bit older. So now she can flip the quilt over and have a more grown up side. I still have to pin it and [...]

Yet More Fabric

I can’t seem to help myself – I’ve bought more fabric! I went here for coffee, which is right next door to here. I couldn’t resist buying some fabric (I had already resisted yarn!). I bought nine fat quarters and I have plans for them (more of that in a different post). However, it will [...]

More Fabric

My camera went on holiday to Japan (it did a bit of skiing), anyway it bought me back some fabric – Japanese patchwork fabric from the Tokyo National Museum. I’m still contemplating what to do with it – at this stage I’m thinking about a Disappearing Nine Patch …

Nursery Rhyme Fabric Stash

I have accumulated a large amount of Nursery Rhyme/Childrens fabric. I purchased quite a bit thinking I would use it in my T-Shirt business, but I’ve learnt a few things along the way. First, I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again and secondly, the embroidery doesn’t show up very well on [...]
