I've dressed up a couple of hessian tote bags with some machine embroidery. Mmmm not sure if this works!! Perhaps different embroidery designs ....... Be pleased to hear your thoughts.

What to do with a newly completed quilt? It's too lovely to put away in a cupboard, it has to be shown off........ So onto the ladder in my living room where it can be admired.

Some of us quilters find sewing binding on our quilts a little tedious - me, I actually enjoy it. It's that final stage in what is usually a long journey from start to finish - so satisfying seeing the end result.

Such an inexpensive and nice way to decorate a baby's room. Op shops usually have a good selection of cheap second hand children's books which can be turned into some fun bunting.

Last year I was approached by a dear friend who asked if I could arrange for a quilt to be completed. The exquisite hand embroidered blocks of the 12 days of Christmas was quite the challenge. This project became a group effort with a couple of ladies from my Bay Quilters Wynnum group. I managed to sew the blocks together and Mary finished it with beautiful quilting. We entered it in the Mt Gravatt show and are delighted that it won first prize in the Group category.

Most quilters are fabric hoarders and I'm no exception! A couple of months ago while looking through my fabric drawers I came across a couple of jelly rolls I'd purchased ages ago and decided I should use them. My 'doggy' quilt is the result with the backing also keeping with the 'doggy' theme. I think it's so cute. It's to be donated to the Children's Hospital in Brisbane in the hope it can bring a little comfort.

This afternoon I finished making these pretty lavender bags which are a great way to freshen draws and closets. The bags are sewn in linen and machine embroidered - very sweet.

This long arm quilted fairy quilt is so lovely. I like to add something extra with my quilts be it a matching tote or bunting with fairy lights. This time I chose lights though I do have some more fairy fabric - maybe I should include a tote!

I've been keen to sew these bookmarks for ages and finally got around to making them for my family and friends. I've sewn a stiff interfacing into them so they will retain their shape.

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.
