Last year a dear friend asked if I could put together a quilt using some candlewick blocks she'd made many years ago. This was a first for me working on such an heirloom so I decided to take photos of the steps needed to complete this lovely quilt. Sadly my friend passed away recently and it was so touching to know how thrilled she was with it - staying with her right up to the end.

The last few days have seen me sewing up a batch of zipper purses using recycled denim and other fabrics. It's so satisfying to recycle fabrics that otherwise would probably end up in land fill.

Two children's quilts pieced and ready for the long arm quilter. The quilting group I'm in, Bay Quilters Wynnum, has a long arm quilter which is in the process of being repaired.

This roomy tote combines cork and cotton fabric and features fabulous machine embroidery. It certainly stands out from the usual totes. Let me know what you think - is it too out there.

Recently I acquired some old denim jeans to repurpose. I enjoy working on some smaller projects and decided this time to make a tote combining machine embroidered stitch outs of barns. It's a roomy strong tote with an inside pocket.

Just finished the binding on my machine embroidered candlewick quilt. Being cream on cream quite hard to photo - suffice to say I love it. For the backing I used a 50 year old beautiful hand embroidered table cloth. It had seen many dinner parties but for the past few years sat unused in my linen cupboard. Now it has a new lease and hopefully can be admired for the next 50 years.
