Wordless Wednesday.

Latest Delivery.

Things have been a bit slow on the creative front around here since Christmas. I only seem to have had a couple of productive sewing days since the new year.

 If you are following us on Instagram you may have seen a little peak of a quilt we are jointly working on but as the special birthday has been and gone and we still haven't finished it then I can't ruin the surprise just yet!

I have however succumbed to the Scrappy Quit Along that you may have have also seen on Instagram. I have already finished 19 blocks!

I was so indecisive about which fabrics to use that in the end I just cut strips off every piece of fabric I had in my stash, didn't matter how long I'd had it, or if I had been saving it for something special I just cut. It was very liberating and I'm so pleased I did it. 

We also took delivery of some new fabrics!! We have some Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman Fabrics and also Metro Living. 

Our first bolt of Type by Julia Rothman for Windham Fabrics. We should have some more from this range and Architextures in the next few weeks. We'll let you know as soon as it comes in. 

Happy sewing!!

Missing U?

Simply Color by V & Co.

We now have the Ombre Solids and the Ombre Dots for sale in our EBay shop. 

I struggled with this as I kept typing Colour and not Color (even now as I type this its looks wrong and I have to keep looking at the labels to check!) hence the post title 'Missing U'!!

Anyway whichever way you spell it they are stunning fabrics just waiting to be used as a fabulous quilt back. I think the Grey is my favourite in both the Ombre & the Ombre Dots. 

(Have I spelt Grey right?? Grey Gray?)

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped us along the way in 2012 and to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.

Lots of love
Natalie and Tracey

Christmas Tree Clothes.

I've been going on about making a Christmas Tree Skirt ever since we received our Christmas fabric delivery in July! Last week I finally got around to making one. 

I kind of made it up as I went along and know now that I would do it differently next time. I think I made it more complicated & time consuming than it needed to be but love it all the same. 

I used all the Christmas scraps left over from making the Christmas Stockings and Lap quilt, and any red and white fabric I had in my stash. 

It still needs some red bias binding along the joins on the back but no-one can see that with all the presents sitting on it can they? I'm sure Santa's not that fussy and it means I've got a whole year to finish it off!

Left over Layer Cake

I had a bit of a tidy up at the weekend and found part of a layer cake, not quite sure what happened to the rest of it??

There was just enough to make a lap quilt!
