February Hearts

I finished off my February Hearts on the weekend using a variegated thread & some stipple quilting.

A little bit of crochet and all is done....

well not quite, I have to make a label which I'll do when I get the embroidery machine out next.


A big thankyou to Robyn @ Daisy Quilts for offering this to us all......I've enjoyed the adventure!
Sweet stitching all....Jane.

Colourful Friday

My floral bouquet of colours representing 'Valentines Day' are pink, yellow & a splash of red!

Along the same theme...I've decided something that looks & smells nice are great, but something that tastes nice is a bonus!! It was very refreshing to get out this morning & take these pics whilst everything was fresh & crisp from some rain last night....or early this morning!

For more 'Valentines Day' colour...pop over to Robyn at Daisy Quilts.
Happy 'Valentines Day' all.
Cheers....Jane.

Cathy's Campfire


This is the first block of the month for our on-line stitching group. I used 'Grandmothers Flower Garden' fabrics, by Rosalie Quinlan.
I'm thinking when the blocks are complete of maybe a small quilt....hmmmm?

February Hearts Wallhanging

 
Robyn over at Daisy Quilts is hosting an on-line sewing adventure!




It took me longer to decide what colours to use than it did to make! :-0
Thankyou Robyn for sharing you lovely wallhanging with us all!!

Colourful Friday - Favourite Colours

I do love a range of colours, but I think this quilt encapsulates my pastel favourites being pink, blue, yellow & green with a dash of red.

I really enjoyed doing this quilt, piecing the blocks, the applique and the stipple quilting.



If you'd like a splash more colour, pop over to Robyn @ Daisy Quilts.
Cheers....Jane.

Blogger Issue

Aren't they cute. Thought I'd post this pic as a test......I've had blogger issues....my posts not updating in others blog lists! Fingers crosses that I've fixed it!
Cheers....Jane.

Smarty Pants

Weekend sewing produced a pair of Monica Poole's 'Smarty Pants'. The pattern went together well.

These ones I made for Pj's.

This is a close up of some vintage linen I purchased at the last market day.
They're in excellent condition.


It's interesting to see what stitches they used for embroidery & crochet on the edges.

Sweet stitching........Jane.
