I wasn’t working on any quilts for a long time there … now I am working on at least 3.
Over last couple of days I finished making blocks C and D for the Mod Sampler quilt along.
I did one of block E and it was very time consuming. So I think the last two patterns [...]

And after a visit to Eumundi Markets and our favourite costume stall [...]

Mid summer was very hot here in Brisbane and I was inspired to make my little girl some simple cotton dresses. I got some cheap cotton from spotlight.
I trawled through sewingpatterns.com for what seemed like hours and settled on NEWLOOK 6504

I met for lunch with a few girls from work. One of them recently had a baby and I could not go without giving her something.
I have had this wee wonderfuls pattern for ages and thought I would give it a go. This is Olive from the Make-along series.
She has proper “bottom” and [...]

Chaletgirl sheepishly sent me an email asking if I would “please please” join her block swap. She was worried that I would be the only one. I replied before looking at her blog to see that I has already been signed up and there was already a lot of interest.

I haven’t done anything “new” quilting wise in a long time. The last couple of quilts I have made were very project orientated. Meaning the focus was more on the end result rather than the process. I am a process kind-a-gal.
So when scouring the net for something interesting I came across [...]

I have just joined an Aussie swap on ravelry that involves making a project bag. I promised that I would dig up some suitable tutorials and links.
U-handbag (UK) is a great resource for making bags and it has a great post on bagmaking for newbies.
Nicole Mallalieu is an Australian designer that focuses on hand [...]
