Nine Patch Baby/Dog

My own pattern! It came together using the teal, green, peach and yellow strips from a jellyroll, when I was ironing the strips, I sorted out the tropical colours. I managed to get it to a baby/pet quilt by adding a.border and extra white fabric. It is approx 43.5 inches by 49.5 inches. 

Yellow tile border, white with rainbow polka dot cut into strips, label, backing: Art Gallery Fabric poplin. The daisy print I purchased 2ndhand new. 

Moda jellyroll Love Lily purchased on sale, binding is the peach Moda print from the same range also on sale. I cut 2.5 inch double fold binding, I usually cut 2.25 inch but I thought wider would look cute 

Wadding: Soft & Bright polyester. Quilting: serpentine stitch in Superior Thread in cream, I use Gutermann thread for my labels. 

Wadding: Soft&Bright 

I had to cut 6 strips from white print yardage.  I cut the strips in half and strip piece into 3, for a nine patch colour coordinated checkerboard.

Irish Christmas Quilt

Teal foliage squares/binding, beige background, backing: Benartex. Turquoise diamonds: Moda Robin Pickens made me think of falling water drops, I sewed 24 HSTs one orientation, then the other 24 turned, to keep the directional print. Outer border Robin Pickens. Inner border Art Gallery Fabric floral elements, Mr W thought this might be too grey but it is mint green to me. Batting: Sew Simple 80/20 individual pack. Quilting: cream cotton Aurifil thread, back thread is Superior Thread. 

Pattern Irish Christmas from Fabriccafe, I received the Quick Christmas book from Mr W for my birthday. I like using 4 or 5 fabrics more than 3 and I use a double fold binding. Name blurred on label.

Patchwork Quilt

Skip to my Lou from Easy Peasy book. Prewashed cotton flannel batting.  I love the look and feel of a quilt lined in cotton flannel as batting, it's smooth and heavy like a weighted bedspread, it packs well for days out.

Blue tiny hearts John Louden. Grey flower Moda fabric. Backing: aqua geometric tiles Camelot fabric 

Quilting: serpentine stitch each seam and criss cross on the blocks, very light grey Aurifil thread. Pattern is Skip to my Lou from Fabriccafe, from the book Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilts (over 3 metres with double fold binding and directional prints).

Christmas present pet quilt for Fallon. I used a puffy wadding for this one and serpentine stitch. 

Pattern Barnstar 2 by Coriander Quilts, I've sewn Barn Star 1 and will make 3 or 4 next, I think there are 9 but not all are my style. 

Moda layer cake "Emma" (Sherri & Chelsea designer). 

White heart outlines on white tonal John Louden.

Binding: Green straws RB Studio @fleur.et.ours . Backing is Benartex, I liked the swirls but didn't realise it had squares on it, ok for backing, they look like Chinese almond biscuits. 

Wadding: Sew Easy polydown crib size

Quilting: Gutermann thread, white.

Recycled Pencil Case for Friend

My friend wanted 'Keep on Rucking' embroidery, I didn't know what that is, it's hiking or walking with weighted rucksacks! I machine stitched it in green with a leaf for outdoors, both sides.

100% cotton teatowel with crossiants on, cotton promotional tote bag, both never used. I prewashed the fabric and reused the loop and care label from the teatowel. 

Hand sewn on brass magnet. Denim and art gallery fabric tote for my friend.

Yellow: Timeless Treasures. Green stripes (remind me of grass) Makower UK. Backing: Benartex, daisy print. Quilting front and back Gutterman 414 cream.

Boomerang Quilt

Boomerang Quilt - individual pattern from Fabric Cafe. Cross Windham, I wanted a country western look with the wood boomerangs. Woodgrain Maywood and Benartex. Ornate flower yellow on white Art Gallery Fabric.

Backing Art Gallery Fabric. I also made a churn dash quilt from the hypernature fabric collection, this one is for myself. Batting: 60/40 cotton Quilting: straight line, cream #gutermann thread front and back 

I love how my labels are looking! I use a 3.5 inch folded square of woodgrain print.

Bestfriend Locket Quilt

Mr W likes the first version I made for my friend, so I made him one too, with a different border (matte gold geometric for the 1st), backing and binding. I purchased some more Tula Pink besties in green to make another, it's a colour I like (green and gold) and I had a half heart from my penpal in the 90s.

Ashford Square pattern from Fabric Cafe Quilts in a Jiffy. 42 by 60 inches. 

Art Gallery Fabric green and ochre polkadot to bring out the colours. Windham atlas diamond for the natural background, I chose this as it had chain links. The backing is Tilda cotton I purchased on Sherwoods a while ago with a voucher, in cream, teal and primrose yellow. I useused the remainder to make a quilt for my friefriend's cat. Looks like a 2018 range.

Quilting is a darn beige Gutermann thread, which I thought would look gold but blend, bobbin thread is cream. I edge stitched each side of each vertical and horizontal seam, then just under 2 inch in the centres after the first 1.5 inch space.
