Baby Quilts

The following blue and pink baby quilts were made from the same jelly roll! How come everything isn't this easy? You can have two quilts done in a weekend, and there are still enough strips left to do up a cute pillow or a matching bag!

Bali Pop Quilt

Dontcha just love purple and green? I started with a Bali Pop weeding out the strips that weren't purple or green enough and replaced them. This picture doesn't do the quilt justice, I will take a better one once I sew the binding on...

Make Life

New Arrival! The very summery feeling of 'Make Life' is here, so fun and fresh in blues, reds and browns. I have a pattern picked out for this line, I'll give you a hint: circles and raw edge applique!

Martinique

Just arrived this week 3 sisters' new line 'Martinique', In soft shades of blues, corals and creams, this fabric has such a tropical feel. If you can't get away to the Carribean, try the next best thing with this beautiful fabric. I can't wait to make up a jelly roll quilt and maybe even a mini charm quilt!

Words To Live By

This slogan was developed by the government during world war 2 as a way to keep the working public motivated, I think it applies even today

Glace Quilt


I could'nt find the space to fit this entire quilt in, so here is half of it. Trust me the other half is just as nice! If I add an outer border which I might do, I will have a king size. The picture does'nt do this quilt justice, the colours really are beautiful.

Layer Cake Quilt


This quilt was alot of fun to make from one layer cake and one charm pack. The charm pack squares are sewn on using raw edge applique, which I love doing, and there is no precuttting of this project, making it a quick finish!
