Well I managed to start and finish a few little things this Sunday…first up are some cute wall hangings for keira’s room/the nursery which are so quick and easy and brighten up the wall
and then I decided it was time we upgraded our tv quilt…you know the one that hangs over the lounge and keeps you warm while you’re watching tv (or knitting or stitching)…our current lap quilt just isn’t making the cut down here in chilly melbourne as its just too small.
So I decided the quilt was for keira so we got out all the pink fabrics and made long strips, joined them, backed with some pink homespun, quilted by an improving stitcher in the ditcher, added some binding after dinner and voila…..a quilt started and finished in a day….
now I need to go and clean up the aftermath in my sewing room.
and here’s my 6th shot for yesterday for the macro challenge…one of those super cute $1 cups.
and I don’t need to worry about my bad machine quilting for much longer because my dear sister in law Julie is setting up her own busines here….yipee I can pay someone I know to do my quilts for me….don’t forget Project Runway starts tonight…woohooo
The hoops look great up on the wall, and the tv quilt is really cute!
I love the embroidery hoops on the wall, they’re just soooo pretty! A quilt in a day….that’s amazing!
Corrie love the hoops. I asked on Eb but you may have missed it – how are you mounting them on the walls? Also where did you get all your hoops from (in other words have you found somewhere cheap to get them LOL)
the hoops are too cute! but that cup makes me swoon! Where did you find it?
Oh and I cant find your email addy Corrie and I need to pick your brains
Love the hoop wall hangings – a great way to use lovely fabrics!
Thanks for the reminder about Project Runway – I’d forgotten!! Can’t wait to see it!
I love the embroidery hoop idea – how come I never thought of that?! And I love your quilt – there is absolutely NO WAY I could get that done in a day – you’re a superwoman – all that and baking 2 babies! You’re my guru… x
I’m so impressed by the quilt! I’ve been meaning to do some hoops with fabric myself. I don’t know what’s delayed me…
Im very impressed. A quilt in a day is awesome work. Ive nearly finished my first and have a couple more up my sleeve. I love the hoops on the wall. What a cute idea.
Look at you go Corrie you’re churning out the projects! Great job on the quilt. Do we get another belly shot soon? they’re my fav 😉
I love the little quilt I don’t know where you find the time, you must be very organised. You are an inspiration. Wait till those twins arrive.
Well done! Thats an absolutely gorgeous quilt. Especially fantastic that you put it all together in one day.
Great work! We’ve missed you in the quilting threads; good to see you’re still doing some anyway!
How pretty the embroidery hoops look. How on earth did you do that in one day. It’s really sweet and a lovely combination of fabrics.
The wall hangings look great! And I love your new quilt.
Beautiful choice of fabrics, I love the pink elephant.
What a productive day you had.
Love the simplicity of those wall hangings.
That new quilt is to die for. Love the pink.
I wish I had more time to sew too.
