I knew that knitting was popular with celebrities.
But flipping though my little girls “Princess” magazine,
I had no idea that Cinderella was part of the group.
On an unrelated topic ….
Over the last couple of days I have been trying to make a skirt. I made a special trip to buy a pattern. I patiently traced out [...]

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 [...]

Just for buying some Chocolate I won a new quilting bed for my sewing machine. Well … sort of.
I won a $100 woolworths gift card for entering a Cadbury promotion that I was totally unaware of.
So, I figure I put the $100 towards my next weekly grocery shop. Then that gives me $100 [...]

My little boy’s favourite Disney movie has been Dumbo for quite a while.
So I recently set about finding some elephant patterns.
I started with the Audrey and Maude Edward pattern and some fabric from Amite that I picked up at the latest Brisbane Creative Living craft fair.

I have always envied Kellie’s quilts and appliqué creations from don’t look now. The motion of colour really appeals to me. She has some fantastic tutorials and the rocket ship pillow is on my to do list.
She has just created a pattern for 4 beautiful pillows and I am dying to make them. [...]
