Spring Craft Fair

This is how our stall looked at the 1st Spring Craft Fair held in Beaudesert last Satuday. We arrived to find out we had been allocated an area under cover and as I had planned to use our gazebo, my plans where shot to pieces.

Not quite what I had planned but it all worked out in the end thanks to Helen and my DH.

Lots of friends called by including Noela also a fellow blogger.

Shop Samples

Life's just so busy lately, hence no blogs but I've managed to make a few samples for my store. I made the quilt using Majestic Yule, the lastest Christmas range from Moda.

As you all know I love making dollies - I've just finished making Joe Jingles, he was fun to make and I'm quite pleased with him. Dolls like May's Flowers are very popular with my customers and they're always so cute.

Christmas in July Ornie Swap

Last night was opening day for our Christmas in July Ornie Swap and I was very pleased with what I received from Kerry. The chocolates didn't last long - ate them while chatting with the girls during our online chat.

I decided to make Lynda these cute little penguin ornies with a matching card I hope she liked them.

In the Pink

A simple but effective quilt I made using fabric from "In The Pink" and "The Wave Edge Rule". Cutting the waves was made easy by using the 18mm rotary cutter and finishing with machine applique. I wouldn't like to be doing the applique by hand...life's just to short.

Sweet Roll Quilt

Take 1 Sweet Roll (Honey Bun), 80cm of additional fabric for borders and add a delightful applique makes a beautiful quilt any little girl would love.
I made this quilt using the free pattern available from Moda's Bakeshop and I was quite surpised how far one Sweet Roll can go.

Weekend Getaway

Larry and I were invited to spend the weekend in Witta and of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity. As we arrived late on Saturday we spent the night in front of the log fire, red wine and a movie. Next morning we woke to breathtaking views as Witta is nestled into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, in lush dairy farm country, just minutes north of the township of Maleny. We had an awesome weekend.
