a brown and yellow stripshow for a baby to be.... i have named him Amos....
i loved this 'quilt as you go' number.... the three week pause between finishing the top and getting scared by the quilting was notsomucha problemo!

my model

quickly went from this

to this

to this...

(what was i thinking?!)

but which way is up?

so very too much happening here.
seems to be a flurry of teeth and drool, weaning and rejected food and jobs and odd jobs and birthday frenzy...

will be right back when the room stops spinning!

three months laterrrrr

finished:




I have been adding progress reports to 'Our Creative Spaces' and although this was finished a week ago, felt I should show it to you - thanks for demanding it, you are way more interested than the real world....

Oh the details: Started with this barkcloth... Settled on this pattern from Kate, then added some stuff according to this little colour whip-up... An old tablecloth was sacrificed, and all ended up being bound in Heather Ross guitars, as that arrived at the right time?! All in all, a very imperfect but much cherished little first quilt from me!

creative scrappy bits

my first ever quilting non-masterpiece will have three square and one rounded corner, thanks to the wonders of my crafting prowess... (this was anything but a planned execution).

These are the offcuts


Here for more wondrous of craftiness

my creative space (is a bit of a shambles)

sewed up (sorry pause, just heard the black cockies overhead and raced out - god i love those birds), some cushion covers for my cousin helen and mark's holiday house in North Beach, and got so excited about my speediness, that I sewed one of the backy bits on the wrong way, inside out. Never one to unpick, i decided to embellish the back with a bit more wonk, on something from here. She will TOTALLY get it.
