I have been a busy girl. :)<br />
<br />
These 2 quilts came back from the quilter (Ruth at Stitched and Bound Machine Quilting Service) towards the end of July, but I have only just launched into binding them this week. It has been so relaxing, sitting near the window in the Spring sun, stitching happily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first one finished is <b>"Fandango"</b> ( 73" x 73" ) made from a Kate Spain Layer Cake.<br />
<br />
I selected feature squares, cut some others in 2 and some into 4, then stitched the blocks as if they were the first round of log cabins, with one side being a half and quarter stitched together.<br />
Ruth quilted this one with a lovely circular feather style, that makes this quilt lovely and snuggly.<br />

The second one completed is <b>"Nana's 1950s Kitchen" </b> ( 40" x 50" ) made using a selection of Henry Glass fabrics from the Knock Knock range. The blocks are log cabin blocks.<br />
<br />
The fabrics instantly appealed, reminding me of my Grandmother's kitchen when I was a little girl. Each cupboard door was painted a different colour, the shelf above the fireplace had bright multicoloured canisters, the egg cups were bright colours, as were the anodised beakers, and the coffee percolator. Strong, bright, cheery colours! My favourite door was the turquoise one. :)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I tried a new binding method for these quilts and found it really wonderful. Lovely crisp, mitred corners done on the machine! Linda, of Flourishing Palms has made a very clear tutorial, which you can find <a href="http://flourishingpalms.blogspot.com.au/2009/06/binding-tutorial_12.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Give them a try next time you bind.</span></div>

I love the little bits of detail Jenny includes. How cute are those little snails?<br />

<br />
The fabric I am using is from Bonnie and Camille's 'Marmalade' collection. I have a jelly roll and some FQ so they will be just perfect. I will probably add a couple of 'outsiders' to the mix just to add a little more variety. Not sure exactly what yet. Will wait and see as it takes shape.<br />
<br />
The stitchery is being done on a lovely cotton/linen blend fabric - beautiful to work with - and uses the usual 2 threads.<br />
<br />
I'm going with an emphasis on the aqua blue. I'm thinking it will go well hanging in my sewing room (if I have enough wall space when I am finished lol)<br />
<br />
So you want pics, I suppose? :) .............. ok......... but keep in mind that the stitching is not perfect (my hand still has some issues holding a needle and getting it to do what I want) ........<br />

I have just subscribed to Jenny Elefantz's Daisy Days Block of the Month. I am so looking forward to doing this one. I have watched the progress of it being developed and just knew it was for me.<br />
Check out <a href="http://www.elefantz.com/" target="_blank">Jenny's blog</a> and see what I am talking about, then if you like it, be tempted, too. :)<br />
This is<i> just one</i> of the stitcheries I fell in love with:<br />

Jenny is offering 3 ways to pay: Subscribe via paypal and get a block per month for 8 months (pdf) discounted price; buy the pdf each month from her etsy store ; or buy a monthly paper pattern from her etsy store. Anyhoo, all that info is on her blog.<br />
<br />
Jenny has also set up a blog for BOMers to subscribe to, with hints and tips and progress pics. There is a link button over there in the right hand column up the top if you want to check it out.<br />
<br />
So go on, what are you waiting for? ;)<br />

All last week, I slowly and methodically moved things back into my sewing room. Furniture first, then Stakka Drawers, then other stuffs as I found places for it. :)<br />
We have angled the 4 lights, but adjustments may occur as I start using the areas and change my mind. I have a free standing Arial Ott-Lite as well, so it can always fill in if I need more light.<br />

<br />
This is the wall to the right of the door, which is in the corner on this wall to the right of this pic. This is my cutting out table. I do hope to replace it with a slightly larger table one day, but as yet, I haven't found one that meets all requirements. This one is an old Teacher's Desk which I waxed many years ago.<br />
The bookcase is on the next wall. It stocks completed toppers on the bottom shelf, electrical gadgets, paints and pencils, pens, glue, catalogues, etc. My ipod and speakers sit on top.<br />

This is the next wall (with the previous mentioned bookcase). I have this table coming out from the window with my back to the wall, which will be my design wall. You can just see a glimpse of a large basket with some of my WIPS trying to hide in the bottom right corner. :) I have another crate plus a big zip quilt carry bag with more. Some of them used to be UFOs, but I've decided I am not having UFOs any more, just WIPS!<br />

This table runs along the window, butting against the previous one. All my threads are in the 2 smaller drawer stacks and fabric in the larger one. I want better quality drawers for my threads, so that is on my <br />
"to get" list.<br />
The Stakka drawers underneath the table contain part of my fabric stash. You may have noticed my cutting table had Stakka drawers, too. Yes, they also contain fabric, as do the 9 under the other table. :)<br />

This is the 4th wall (the one the door opens against). Here, I have a slightly larger bookcase with pretty boxes of ribbons, buttons, velvet, habby things etc, etc, etc.<br />
Behind the door, I have several hooks from which hang skirt hangers holding large ziplock bags with various things like iron on interfacing, avalon, tivek, fast to fuse etc. It's a system that works well for me.<br />

A close-up of 9 of my Stakka drawers under one table. I have 26 FULL drawers in total, but it isn't nearly enough! Currently, I have the lounge piled high with more fabric that is still homeless. I also have a dining table loaded with odds and ends that are yet to be sorted as well as 8 cardboard boxes of (mainly) fabrics for garment construction, a box of backing fabric, and another 5 boxes with more odds and ends for fibre art. I have <i><b>no</b></i> idea where it will all go. I certainly don't want it coming into my nice, <b>neat, spacious</b> room! LOL<br />

I have yet to decorate the walls with wall hangings etc, but that will have to wait until I have sorted out my lounge room and dining room. ;)<br />

We did an undercoat of white on the walls first, to block out the previous colour, but to also see what I thought of white. Sorry all you white voters, but it really didn't do anything for me, with that carpet. It just looked blah.<br />
While we were making changes, we also put in a double power point, so now I have one for my power board and one for "other" use.<br />
I wish I was putting new white furniture in, but I'll have to make do with my old stuff, as it's still in fairly good condition. It's a light beech laminate, so will still tie in nicely.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for progress as I move things back in. I'm taking my time with that, because I want everything to have a place. Nothing goes in until it does! (We'll see how long <i><b>that</b></i> lasts! LOL)<br />

I think my favourite so far, is the Lamb with apricots and prunes. :)<br />
<br />
I am also experimenting by using the tagine to cook other, more European in style, casserole dishes.<br />
<br />
Do you have a favourite cooking utensil or a style of cooking? Do tell us about it. :)<br />

<br />
SO....back to celebrating my blogaversary and actually <i>doing</i> the giveaway.<br />
<br />
Here's what's happening:<br />
<br />
Rather than one big giveaway, I'm doing several small ones, PLUS a slightly larger one, so more chances to get something. :). I have assembled a few nice FQs as well as some other little treats to pop in the post to my winners. .... ONE winner from the comments on EACH of this year's previous posts, then ONE (slightly bigger pressie) winner from this post. You can enter as many times as you like and if you win, you will still be eligible for other draws, if you have left comments.<br />
<br />
I think that's pretty fair. :)<br />
<br />
I will begin drawing names for the previous posts, tonight, (after Mrs Brown's Boys!) and the winner from THIS post will be drawn on Sunday night (Australia time).<br />
<br />

<br />
Woohoo! My copy of Lisa Walton's new book arrived today from The Book Depository! I have been excitedly awaiting this since I pre-ordered last year, because I just <i>knew</i> it would be good. Lisa is such a wonderful and giving teacher, I figured the book would <i>have</i> to be worth the money.<br />
<br />
And it doesn't disappoint! I can see me getting a lot of value out of it.<br />
<br />
Lisa not only has plenty of fun and fantastic quilt projects for you to follow, she also encourages you to play and experiment yourself. She leads you through enough theory to help you gain the confidence to go for it!<br />
<br />
Her instructions are clear and easy to follow, with extra tips thrown in. Any level of quilter could follow them, and make these wonderful quilts, and progress to their own designs.<br />
<br />
If you want to break away from traditional patterns but don't know where to start, this book is for you.<br />
If you have reached a standstill in your creative journey, this book is for you, too.<br />
<br />
Now, I just have to get my sewing room painted so I can play!<br />

On the 8th of April 2007, it was Easter, and I started this blog. Six years ago!<br />
<br />
In that time, I have written 300 posts. (This is no. 301). Nowhere near as many as some bloggers, but still, that's almost 1 post per week. <br />
<br />
I think that calls for a celebration! :)<br />
<br />
So, in the next week, I'll be deciding what I will do. A giveaway seems in order, after all, everyone loves a giveaway! <br />
<br />
I'll do some thinking over the weekend, and sometime next week, I'll tell you what I have in mind.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">Stay Tuned!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></strong><br />
Oh, and leave a comment on a recent post.......you never know...... ;)<br />

Now, finally, the room is empty! Yippee!<br />
But I'm not moving in YET.<br />
First, we are going to paint. :)<br />
The room was a mid blue colour before I claimed it, and was just too overwhelming, so I painted it with some left over paint from our family room - a nice neutral shade (and I'm not normally a neutral gal, but this one is lovely). However, in the lower light room, it looked dingy, so I did a spongey wash kind of overpaint with white, that made it look very soft eggshelly. It's a nice effect.<br />
But I'm tired of that! lol<br />
<br />
We are doing a white coat first then doing the real paint job. But what colour? I've had lots of advice to go with white for the light, and I was seriously thinking to do that. But seeing the white go on the walls, it just says blah to me. I normally love white rooms, but their clarity is enhanced by the decor. This room is not really going to have "decor". Just work tables, bookcases and boxes! <br />
My current thinking is to do a pale pale pale aqua blue -mixing blue for serenity and yellow for creativity!<br />
<br />
What do you think? Stick with white for the light? or go the aqua? or something else?<br />
<br />
You can vote over on the sidebar. If you choose other, I would love to know what colour you think, so please leave a comment. :)<br />
<br />
This is the room ready for painting. It is a room in the middle of the house and looks out into the family room. I have a skylight to allow more light into the room. The red 'glow' on the wall is where a bed has been. The red flannelette sheets left a memory behind. :)<br />

Facebook has made it so easy to communicate across the miles, with so many of my friends. Pictures are easier to share, conversations can be short, sweet and frequent, no word verifiation! (which, unfortunately, I have had to put back on due to being "found" recently by spammers) and easier access from my phone.<br />
<br />
In the four and a half months since the last post, I have finished only one quilt, although I <em>have</em> started several projects.<br />
<br />
This is a play quilt for Master M to drag around and put inside his tepee:<br />

Lynda at <a href="http://bozzysblog.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>Patchwork Promises</strong></a> is giving away <strong>3 </strong>copies of her latest quilt pattern. I want to win this one, but I'm generous enough to share the fun. After all, there are <strong>3 </strong>to be given away. If you get there in time, you might also be able to enter her giveaway for one of her bag patterns. I have already made the bag and it's a great number! Very versatile and the instructions are easy to follow. I actually wrote about my bag recently, so scroll down my blog and check out what I did.Lindihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414741867631631571noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8834770118096113974.post-34264344798480418212012-10-30T12:13:00.000+11:002012-10-30T12:13:04.362+11:00Tuesday's TreasureI don't often get to participate in <a href="http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/tuesday-treasures_30.html" target="_blank">Melody's Tuesday Treasures</a>, but every so often I am in a position to do so. <br />

<br />
<br />
I have watched her grow...from a beautiful and cute baby, to a fun and caring child and teenager, then to a woman in love and now a loving mother. We celebrated many landmarks together, including her wedding, then 2 years later the birth of her son. <br />
She has been daughter, friend and provider of my first grandchild. :) <br />
<br />
Now, she is preparing for her next big venture.... She and her little family are moving.....not just to a new house, or even a new town. They are moving overseas - to Mauritius! Her husband has been offered an opportunity to partner in a business there. An opportunity to good to refuse. :)<br />
<br />
I fully support their decision to venture out and wish them lots of wonderful experiences and opportunity. But it's hard. Very hard. I am going to miss her (and my Grandson - that goes without saying!) so very very much.<br />

What do you do to "spoil" the littlies in <em>your</em> life?Lindihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414741867631631571noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8834770118096113974.post-76122774380695440752012-10-17T16:51:00.000+11:002012-10-17T16:51:09.327+11:00Pattern TestingThe lovely Lynda at <a href="http://patchworkpromises.com.au/" target="_blank">Patchwork Promises</a> asked me to trial a new bag pattern she has designed. <br />
Seeing as how much I love making bags, how could I resist?<br />
<br />
It is called The Lorraine Tote Bag and will be on sale soon, once editing and printing is complete. :)<br />
<br />
A hunt through my stash of fabric resulted in some fun, bright lovelies being chosen, then I was off cutting and sewing!<br />
<br />
Here is the end result. I am very, very happy with it! The pattern was easy to follow and accurate, it didn't take long to do (I worked on it whenever I had a chance over one weekend) and what delights me even more, is that I can easily make those little changes that I tend to do whenever I make a bag from a pattern. You know the ones..... add extra pockets, piece the outer fabrics, add little touches to make it "mine". ;)<br />
Because I was testing a pattern, I made this one exactly as the pattern stated. There are 2 options; one with handles attached directly to the bag and no handle hardware, and the version I chose, with handle hardware. It is a really lovely, functional bag without any added extras. The only extra was my button on the flap - in this case, I used a large flat 4 hole button (black) and glued a bright aqua blue button (I cut off the shank and filed it) onto the centre. <br />

I am keeping this bag for myself! Of all the bags I have made (quite a few), none have been for me! Finally, I have one! lol<br />

I'm thinking this bag deserves a matching make-up purse, so that just might be next. :)<br />

Ok, I haven't turned them into quilts yet, but I <em>have</em> made these quilt tops since the end of June. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also started a few others, but I keep getting distracted from them, so they sit in my "workin on" pile. Note: They are <em>not yet</em> UFOs. lol</div>

This one was made from a roll of 2.5" strips (not Moda). The light was too bright when I photographed this one, so the colours aren't showing up too well. In reality, they are a rich chocolate, the aqua is more intense, and the little flowers are deep crimson and pretty lolly pink. After I posted this pic on FB, I realised one row had gone in upside down! The majority of my commentors decided it should stay that way as a deliberate design, but I haven't decided as yet.</div>

This next one is a gift for my daughter and son-in-law as a house warming gift for their new home.....in Mauritius! They head there next month and I am going to miss them terribly... especially my darling Grandson. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is made with 4 Moda charm packs of batiks called Kapalua. It's lovely and bright - just what Daughter has in mind for decorating in her new residence. I can't wait to get this one quilted and bound. I'm debating whether to get it done edge to edge professionally or doing it myself. I'm not sure my hand and arm are up to that much quilting yet, though.</div>

Then, there is this one..... a jelly roll of Moda's Etchings went into this one, with some lovely matching grey for the border. Again, the light is being a nuisance, but I have very few places to take pics atm, as we are still somewhat crowded with Son, Daughter-in-law and Granddaughter living with us and storing everything here until they move into a place of their own. I don't even have floor space to use as a design wall!</div>

Isn't that inside fabulous? It even has a compartment (all stiffened and padded) for a tablet (or ipod or whatever). How cool is that? And lots of little pockets for all the things we carry, plus a large zip pocket behind them. <br />
<br />
Of course, an awesome bag like this needs shoes to match..... so a shopping we went......<br />

...and yes, I did buy a pair....lol. In reality, they are so close in colour, you would think they had been made in the same place. :)<br />
<br />
Next on the list was some fabric for a new skirt to go with the accessories....hey, isn't that the way you are supposed to do it, not the other way round? ;)<br />
<br />
I found this lovely organic fabric in Kate's <a href="http://katequilts.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">online shop </a> (Kate Quilts - she has some truly yummy fabrics - go check them out!) . Perfect!<br />
<br />
Alegria - Bouquet .... works soooo well with the bag and shoes ... <em>and</em> the yellow is the same yellow!<br />

<br />
They are from the Washi Collection by Rashida Coleman Hale for Timeless Treasures and i can hardly wait to get started on sewing with them. (btw the photos don't do them justice....they are excitingly divine! )<br />
Can you tell how much in love with them, I am? lol<br />

Of course, she isn't old enough for a bed yet, so I have time to do her a cushion and snake. <br />
<br />
As my Son G, DIL D and Granddaughter Miss A (or Miss M if we use her abbreviated name) are moving back here from Tasmania (oh joy oh joy! ) in 2 weeks, I thought it would be nice to make a couple of summer tops/dresses for Miss A to wear in this warmer weather.<br />
<br />
This little top is reversible....<br />

<br />
First up was this cushion for Master M (Grandson). He has moved out of his cot and into a "big boy bed" so Nana (moi) decided to make a cushion for him out of this lovely Hoot owl fabric. He loves Giggle and Hoot - a children's programme on ABC2 here in Australia.<br />
