All Finshed

Magic Lantern Lap Quilt

Made with a layer cake

The pattern for this quilt came from

Lynne Edwards book.Making scrap

quilts to use it up.I still have a small amount left

but I know a Lady that makes miniature quilt so I

will pass them on.

Borders

The border points are cut from the remaing layer cake fabric.

Then joined with the background fabric into strips.

All put together

This block can be put together in 2 ways,this is the one I chose.

layer cake 2

The slices are turned up side down and the sewn back together.Once the blocks have been pressed the FUN start in arranging them.

layer cake

I have started to work with a Layer Cake of fabric my Daughter bought me back from her holiday in Australia.A 60 degree triangle was cut from the cake with other fabric added.Then it was sliced into 4.

Under the Sea

Just finished Under the Sea .

It has taken 36hr to make but

I did enjoy doing the quilting.

I did not sew to-day

It was such a sunny day I decided it was time to get outside and tidy the garden.The Snowdrops and Aconites are coming in to flower so spring is not far off.The whole time I was digging I had the song from a little fellow with a red breast.He can just be seen in the Silver Birch tree.I have seen more birds to-day than yesterday when I did the Big Bird count.I think we will have another frost to-night but hopefully tomorrow will be fine.More digging to be done.

Time for Tea

The tea cosies I made some time ago.I then decided to make the coasters followed by the place mats that I finished yesterday.The coaster are made by folding the fabric so that a glass stem can be twisted in to keep it in place on the glass foot.

As the weather is overcast to day I will loook at starting a girls quilt.The length of time it takes means as the Craft Fairs do not start until March I can get stock made befor hand.

Bags

Three bags I have made for the Sunflower Girls to see if thy would like any of them for there new site.

If not I will have them for sale in March when I start going to Craft Fairs again.I hope no one asks for the patters as I did not make one.That way thy are all exclusive.

New Year

I thought I had better start sewing again as I have a few things to do.I have been asked to make some Sunflower themed handbags for a new site starting at the end of the month.The sit is anything to do with SUNFLOWERS.I have already made some cushion covers for them.
I wish them luck.
