I have been working extremely hard at the sewing table to get this quilt done.
I have fabric and supplies sitting in the wings for a few quilts that I am dying to start. But I have been quite strict on myself to finish some WIPs first.
This quilt is the result of my chaletgirl block swap. [...]

I am part of another chaletgirl swap – “Around the Block”.
I have always avoided pink fabric. I have even been trying to ween my little girl off wearing pink clothes.
But when it comes to wanting to make her a quilt that I know she will love – it has to be pink.
I bought a few [...]

Doing this swap did inspire me to organise my scraps. That and I was avoiding studying … you know how it is.
Now I have a container of little scraps,

I bought the taupe. I bought a little of the cream. I thought the cream looked better. But I wasn’t really happy with either because I wanted to buy linen.

Last Friday my little girl wanted to go to Movie World with just her daddy. So I bonded with my son at craftfest for a couple of hours on the Gold Coast.

Oh Franson is up to the sashing on the quilt along.
I made a trip to the fabric shop (aka spotlight and quilt store located next to it) to get my backing, sashing and binding. I remembered to take some scraps of the blue and brown to match for the back. But I neglected [...]

I belong to the Australian Swappers group on Ravelry. There is always a few swaps going on. The latest one that I am a part of is the project bag swap.
These are the ones that I made for my swapee. I probably wouldn’t have picked this fabric for myself, but it has sewn [...]
