What a Week!

I have been busy quilting customers quilts - but I can't quilt at night - too noisy and by then my feet have had enough of being stood on all day. So.... I have made these two lovely little pin cushions with beading around the seams. Very cute they are too IMHO!

I put the borders onto my B&W quilt and am very happy with the result - it is a big quilt though - about 78inch square

I thought I would show you all my leaders and enders that I have been making whilst piecing Bonnie's Double Delight Mystery .... aren't they lovely. I will be making a four patch quilt - these are my own hand dyed fabric ... so I really have been stashbusting.

Anyway - back to the Salt Mines.!

Happy quilting for now...Jane

Hand Dyed Fabric Journal Covers

I have been busy while everyone has been sleeping.... These are two fabric journal covers that I have made from my own hand dyed fabric. The green one is a simplified version, while the blue is a fully lined with pen holder version. They are both stitched on my domestic sewing machine - a fabulous Bernina!

This is the start of a Fabric Journal Cover .... needs something more yet... beads, more stitching, more colours.









This picture is of the back of the two journals above.









And I have been busy hand dyeing a rainbow of big 8's (that is 1/8's but they are bigger than normal) ... Don't they just look wonderful. Two of these babies is enough to make a fabric journal cover and they look great stitched and embellished.

This is two rainbow spectrums of 12 colours laid out flat .... I am very happy with the colours. The possibilities are endless when you look at something like this.

Happy Quilting for now ...
