This & That

Since my last proper post, it's been business as usual.
In class this fortnight we are making my Mega pincushion..........this takes a wee while longer than the class 2hrs to complete so I have only one completed photo for you so far - well done to Pat.
For those of you who may like to make this big pincushion this link should take you right to the instructions.

I joined an online Mystery Quilt - it's being run by Spotlight of Oz & NZ through their FB page and is Sarah Fielke's design. So far I have kept up and am on Wk 4 at the moment. It is meant to be done with Sarah's latest Spotlight collection but I thought I'd give it a go from my stash. I am enjoying having a wee personal project with no expectations or deadlines. Here is what I have made so far.


And I have a finish to report too! It's my traditional flannel throw - a Christmas pressie for someone special. I haven't used flannel before so took it slow & easy and stuck to a simple pattern. The back is pieced from flannel too and the wadding is 80/20. It is ever so cosy.

I have completed another make which I really enjoyed but am unable to share at the moment......soon, I promise.

Don't forget that voting opens on the 1st November in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.......hint, hint.

  7. I really like that pincushion too, it might mean that I would not lose my cutter and scissors and tape measure in the fabric mess all the time. Might be making one soon.

  8. This is one of those times I wish I lived in Scotland instead of the south east of England. I love the pincushion and thank you so much for the instructions for it - I have downloaded them and will be putting it on my Pinterest board. I love the quilt too and might do it but I have so much catching up to do as I have been unwell for all summer and have so much to make. But your piecing and quilting is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing.

  9. Love the pincushion, such gorgeous bright colours.
    Love your choices for the Mystery Quilt. Even though I live in Oz the nearest Spotlight is over 40kms away. I never go there unless I have another reason to be down that way. Must go and check out Sarah's fabric line...one day.
    The flannel quilt looks lovely and warm.

  11. Thank you for sharing the pattern for your Mega Pinnie. I have a question-- I'm at the step where I add the pockets to the quilted side panels. The panels are 7" and the pockets are 6 1/2". So the panel won't lay flat if I line up the sides of the pocket on it. Am I missing a step? Should I be trimming my sides to 6 1/2"? Thank you!!
