This weeks inchie " Fishy" I am busy working on a quilt for our new bed " King Size" and also working on my "Halberg" Challenge well that one is ready to be quilted all basted ready to go.
Must get back to the QUILTING!!!!!!!!!

Fun with free motion quilting

I have been having fun trying out some more free motion quilting, I am pleased with most of the border pattern except, I had trouble going around two of the corners. The fill in design I have wanted to try for a long time. The flower is something I was playing around with ages ago, a bit of painting, the border fabric is also painted it is painted on poly-cotton.


Here is my brother-in-law with the quilt I made him for his 70th birthday in November last year. In the background is lake Rotorua, you can't see as much as you used to as the trees have grown so much.

Lucy pressing my Challenge

You just can't leave fabric or work around here because the cats think it needs to be pressed, even before you finish it. Luckily I did put a piece of paper over it just in case. Nothing is safe around here they even visit the studio from time to time, I know because they leave little bits of fur behind. Under Lucy is the start of my "Halberg" Challenge. It has been a wet day here today so I have been working on my next 12" x 12" I am excited about this one the word is "Flight" as I am trying to make them a series and things that relate to me I had think very hard on this one, but I am pleased with what I have come up with. SORRY can't post photo until the end of the month. Now must get onto my next inchie the word for that is "Electrifying"

It's Monday Inchies again

" Mirthful" is todays word.

12" x 12" WATER Challenge

Here is my 12” x 12” Kiwiquilters challenge, the theme “Water”

The house I lived in as a child was pulled down to make way for a school and we cannot find any photo's of it. Beside the house was a small pond made from a cow trough as I remember it. On one side was a miniature maple tree, the other side was a rockery. The pond had a carp in it, which I am told my brother found in the local stream. We had a cat called Tiger Tim which I just had to add, I have added the word POND as it is my Mothers maiden name. Pond being my inspiration for the theme of “water”.

Found the STUDIO

I have finally found my studio again and it also had a floor which had been lost under thread and fabric offcuts, you wouldn't believe I do have two rubbish containers in the room. I bet it will not take long to lose it again. I have had thoughts of becoming a boring old lady and giving up this fabric and craft addiction. I am such a hoarder maybe it would be better to stay the way I am and leave it to the children to get rid of when I am done with it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"MAUDLIN" Inchie

This weeks inchie! Below just showing how small they really are, quite amazing how much you can get on such a small piece of art work.


I really should be having a major cleanup in my studio so I can start to create some bigger pieces of work, such as a new quilt for our new King size bed. Maybe if I sew two single quilts together. Ha Ha I really don't think that will work.
