Work In Progress Wednesday

Well, maybe more like a show and tell really.

I know, yet again I have a bit of a slacker but this weather just doesn’t seem to help with my quilting mojo.

I have managed to do a few things in the last few weeks. I made a baby quilt for my son's teacher's new born daughter. I decided to do a very modern looking coin quilt. I had so many leftover 2.5" strips in all different lengths after finishing my bed quilt and realised that the colours combined in very small blocks would actually look nice as a baby quilt for a girl.

With almost no plan in mind, I just started adding pieces one after the other and then cut the HUGE long strip into equal sized lengths, put in a sashing between each strip and it was done.





Also I just had to show you this:


Don't you just love it? It is an iPhone cover. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and had to get it for my hubby. I would have loved one myself but it only fits the v4 phone and still have v3.

I have this past week only done some quilting for Sew Generous. I have quilted two lovely quilt tops donated from Susan Dunn.


I am hoping to get back into The Farmer's Wife Quilt blocks, but at the moment my mojo is on go slow, so I have been catching up on my Project Life scrapbooking (this is where the Scrap in QuiltSewScrap comes from).

I Am Such A Slacker!

I have to say I was really shocked when I realised I had not blogged a post in over a month! I could have sworn it was only a week or so ago, but then I realised that I have been scrapbooking and not blogging - I get so confused!


So..it has been over a month so I thought I would give you all a very quick catch up session and then get back to my regular blogging schedule of (hopefully) one blog post a week.


There are going to be a lot of photos, so get ready.

The Sydney Modern Quilt Guild also had it first meeting of the year on Saturday and here are the photos from that.












Although only six of us turned up it was a lovely get together and we had lots of food, and a fantastic show and tell and we were very lucky to get to see all the fantastic things that one of the lovely ladies Jen, bought back from the States with her all the way from Joannes. Makes me want to organise a trip to the US just to go to that store! Anyone want to come along?!
