Sewing Box?

I LOVE such bold strong colors! Hmmm, what can this be?


Its a square box . . . . with lil' drawers! and metal pull-outs with inserts to put your labels in. How cool is that!

Yup, got my friend A to do her thing again. Told her I wanted it to have 'sewing' pictures on it. So she went to work . . . .

Back & side views - basket of threads at the top, mannequin of sorts behind and scissors, etc by the side.

Just lovely!

Little Girls Playing

The fabric had this lovely pictures of lil' girls having tea party, shopping, dressing up, etc - simply adorable I thought.


Didn't feel like cutting the fabric up so I decided to go horizontal. Each strip had a 2" shocking pink on either side and then a pinwheel design with very lite baby blue & pale pink fabric.

Shocking pink fabric went all around and then a sweet 5" white with small pink flowers. And just for fun, I decided to play around with some white ric-rac :-)

A lite pink fabric with small rose buds was perfect as backing fabric and returned to the shocking pink for binding.

Hmmm . . . . very girl-ish. Am not too sure how I feel about this one. Hope someone likes it.

A lil' bit of color

Yup! Scrap busting again - LOL!


Taken from my inner garden - that's the window I sit by and do my sewing, looking out into my green garden.

Just a bit of color by the window. Hoping it will grow into a BIG baby quilt!
Have a lovely weekend y'all.

At the Pet Store

Remember this 'Pet Store' fabric? I've made a quilt with this many moons ago. This is the left over fabric and I thought I would attempt the "attic window" pattern. been wanting to try this out for a long time . . . . Decided outright I wanted very BRIGHT colors - like purple, green & yellow.


The fabric was cut 6" X 7" and thank God, was enough for only 12 blocks - went for purple & green for the attic window. Next was a very thin 1" bright yellow just for fun! Wanted to stay within the purple family, so the 2nd border was a 3" lite purple and ended with a 5" darker purple with teeny-tiny white flowers.

Backing fabric was white background with small purple & blue flowers and binding was the same as the 5" dark purple fabric.

Taa-Dahh! Am so liking the Attic Window effect here!

Cars, this way that way

Familiar? Its the IKEA bedsheet. Knowing me, I've cut them cars up and patch 'em up again. Trying something different here - going horizontal.

Simply cut the cars into various block size and put them on different solid fabric as background - brick red, sea blue, algae green & turqoise blue. Then I handstitch (using blanket stitch) then into the quilt.

To break away from ll the solid colors, I put a 2" cream fabric all around as 1st border, then a lovely 2" blue squares as 2nd border and finally a 5" fun big dots on dark blue fabric to a perfect ending.

Backing fabric was perfect - white with tiny blue & black prints - (I'm loving all my backing fabrics at the moment!) and binding was a dark marbled blue.

Went to my friend A and asked her to draw something on those empty colored blocks and she said "it looks just fine the way it is". Might be a touch too much if those blocks were filled in. I agreed. I like. You like?

Summer Blooms - I

It was actually a very narrow pink & green panel full of these flowers of different sized blocks. I didn't like that it was narrow so decided to cut them up and add on. Green-ish flower blocks had a 2" sweet pink fabric border and pink-ish flower blocks had a 2" green fabric border.
Wanted it to be wider, so put a quiet 2" yellow tone-on-tone fabric all around as 1st border. 2nd border was a 3" marbled red and finally, a 5" sweet pink border that I thought suited well.

Backing fabric was yummy - a pretty white with tiny red-pink flowers all over. Binding was yet again my faithful marbled red fabric.

Turned out square-ish! Nice & sweet . . . . but square-ish.

Rina's Order

Yes, it is the last of my Lilac Flower Fairy panel. Had only 6 blocks left. Put a 2.5" very lite pink-lilac all around it.


Next was a 1.5" blue (that brought out the blues in the fairies) and then went back to the very lite pink-lilac. Next was a 3.5" tone-on-tone purple, back to a thin strip of blue (1.5" again!) and a final return to the same purple. The 4 corners has the blue fabric on square and 2 inner corners has a darker shade of pink-lilac cut into a heart.

I love the backing fabric! - small blue & purple flowers on white background - and binding was marbled purple.

There it is - finally. Hope Rina likes it ..... :-)

Liana's Order

Remember this one? Its "Love, Hugs & Kisses" quilt - all ready now!


Used YELLOW this time (the first one was done in Red, Green & Blue) and it turned out bright & cheerful! I'm thrilled with the results.

Lovely combination.

Backing fabric was PERFECT - small red and yellow flowers on cream - and decided on a bright saffron yellow for its binding.

Looking good here! Hope Liana's happy with it too :-)

Rugby Quilt

This was the fabric - sports shoes & rugby ball all over.


Decided on the 'slanting block' pattern, this way and that way. Put lime green fabric first and knew I wanted a 2" solid chocolate brown as first sashing. Did 12 blocks.

Yet another 2" tone-on-tone brown went all around and by luck, came across this green star on cream fabric that I thought suited well as the final 5" border.

A lite cream fabric was for backing fabric and returned to the tone-on-tone brown as binding.

Very b-o-y-i-s-h :-)
