Ok, so I fell off the wagon. I know, I know, I did say I was going to be good and post more.... but I kind of got scared about the amount of photos that was building up on my camera and putting them onto the computer. I mean, it would mean I had to sort them out.... Scary stuff really lol!

Well I did go and print a whole heap of photos off the other day and then uploaded them onto the computer. Then I sorted them into quilt related or not. Luckily that didn't take as long as I first thought. So I guess that means that I should take more photos of my stuff!!

So anyway this is some of the stuff I have been working on:



This is 'the girl kindy quilt' great name hey! Ok so I am lacking in that department.. But I decided to make two quilts for the kindy that Mr B goes to for them to raffle off. So this is the first one.



And that is 'the boy kindy quilt'. I will admit I wish I did the girl one in blocks like this because the boy top only took me one day to piece whilst the girl one took a lot longer!! And the same with the quilting. I stitched 1/4 inch inside each seam of the girl one (silly me, it took AGES!!) and stippled the boy one which took only another day. :) Anyway I have given them to the kindy and they are being raffled off this month!! I felt so happy to give them away because I love making them but am not sure what to do with them all when they are finished!!

I also entered three things into the local show. And I got one 1st and two 2nds! So proud!!



These two are the ones that both got 2nds. The one on the left if the basketweave quilt I made for my mother in law and the one on the right is the quilt I made and designed for Brodie. Very Proud!



And this is the canvas I made Mum. This got 1st in the machine applique section. Super PROUD!!

And then I did a class on a tessalations quilt. I love this one. It is for my Mum for her spare bed. It is super bright! First it started like this:



Then it progressed into this:



Now I have to finish putting the borders on and then I will take another photo before I quilt it. It is so bright and fresh. And just screams happy. :)

I have a bit of exciting news.. I am getting a new sewing machine tomorrow!!!! Excitement plus! I am getting the new Janome Horizon. My other machine is a smaller Janome and I am looking forward to quilting on the Horizon with all that extra neck space!!! Can't wait!!!!

:) I will post a pic of it up soon. Until then!
