Reveille part deux

No 6 on my 2018 Q4 FAL list I had a weakness for charm packs ... please note the past tense. My lovely quilty friends Ruth and Claire are under strict instructions not to let me purchase any more at the FOQ. I love them but what the heck do you make with them? the only patterns i could find meant you had to cut them up impossibly small, im just not up to that any more. I do have a few left to use up but this quilt did use up a fair few of them. The pattern is Reveille from 'Another bite of schnibbles" I love the big border i added to size it up for siblings together. Its an early Zen chic line. It gives it a fuzzy out of focus look which i love.

Doesnt everyone baste over the bannisters :-)

I played bobbin chicken and won!

Year of scrappy triangles

This was No  2 on my 2018 FAL Q4 list A year of scrappy triangles by Leila Gardunia this was such a fun sew along. Great free patterns and i will use them again I think. What always amazes me about scrappy quilts is that they seem to generate more scraps than they use! 

Hey ho, it will go to Project linus where i hope it will be loved.

Batik jelly roll

Flip i didnt meant this to publish but since it has might as well finish it off! this was No 7 on my 2018 Q4 FAL list

 

It was a jelly roll from ea destash by Archie the Wonderdog. i must have got it over a year ago and knew what pattern i wanted to make with it but needed to get a coordinating fabric. I got the yellow at the FOQ this year, its very bold but i do love it.

New York beauty

Another finish! No 1 from this years FAL Q4 list I started this well over a year ago at the Thistle Patch retreat organised by Katy Cameron. These were some patterns we got at the retreat. I really enjoyed making them using up my Zhandra Rhodes fabric but i want do make a whole New York beauty with some other fabrics to thought I would just leave this one here and make a double sided mini.

Christmas cushion along

How cute is Rudolph?? He joins my other Christmas cushions, ive joined in with the #christmascushionalong hosted by Archie the wonder dog ever year. Ive been wanting to make this Unicorn Hearts pattern for ages, this seemed like a perfect time to do it. Used up a lot of my favourite Rudolph fabric too.

Killearn

Last Killearn of the year. This is the back of Kim's La pasacaglia quilt, gorgeous.

Little Miss Muffet
