A Country Tea Party BOM Update

I  have finally finished stitching the first block of Libby Richardson's A Country Tea Party.

Now onto blocks 2 and 3.

Until next time.

Truly Scrumptious by Cinderberry Stitches

I  love Natalie from Cinderberry Stitches patterns. I have had Truly Scrumptious for ages now and have waited for the right fabric to start and best of all it uses 2 jelly rolls.

Fig Tree And Co fabrics are my most favourite designers from Moda and when I saw Farmhouse I knew it was the perfect fabric to start this wonderful pattern.

I  cant wait to get started.  Until next time - Happy Stitching

United Stitches Installment 9 & 10

A couple of weeks ago I received from A Patchwork Quilt, my next installment of Rosalie Deckers BOM - United Stitches.  This is such a fun little BOM - it stitches up so quickly.

 

I love Tilda Fabric - it matches the Cottage Garden Threads perfectly.  I'm doing my version different from Rosalies quilt design.  Just adding 1.5" borders around the little stitcheries.

Until next time - Happy Stitching!

Grandmothers Tea Party Block 2

Every month from The Quilters Angel Toowoomba I receive this beautiful BOM designed by Brandy Gully Patchwork - Grandmothers Tea Party. 

I have finally finished quilting block 2.

This BOM is such a delight to stitch.  It's completed using quilt-as-you-go method.

Now to complete block 3.  Until next time Happy Stitching!

The Spring Lake Quilt Progress 1

I received The Spring Lake Quilt by Tilda Kit from A Patchwork Quilt and couldn't wait to get started on it.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been slowly putting this quilt together.  It took me just over 3 hours to cut all the fabric out - 96 x 4 1/2" squares and 240 x 2 1/2" squares.
















(4 1/2" squares)

















( 2 1/2" squares)



Once I cut all the squares I matched up the 2 1/2" squares and started to chain peice them together.

Then I ironed the seams, matched them up again and chain pieced again to get the 4 patch 4 1/2" squares - then back to the ironing board again. 

Once the 4 patches were sewn together I match the 4 1/2" squares to either side create the rectangular blocks, which I then matched up (according to the pattern) and sewed them together to make the large rectangular blocks. 

Below is a pic of all the blocks layed out before I start sewing them all together to make the finished quilt top.

 

I can't wait to finish this quilt.  It's been so much fun putting it together and I love Tilda Fabric.

 

 

Until next time - Happy Stitching & Quilting!

Happy Stitching!

 

A Country Tea Party - BOM

After visiting The Quilters Angel Toowoomba to pick up my monthly BOM Grandmothers Tea Party - I noticed outside of the shop they had a sample of Libby Richardson's new BOM A Country Tea Party and my eyes lit up.  Fabrics are Tilda's new range and stitched using Cottage Garden Threads and DMC threads.  It is so beautiful - so I signed up.

With the first installment I received fabric to complete the stitchedry and Cottage Garden Threads pack.  I haven't got all the DMC threads so I have to go to my local patchwork shop to get them.

I cannot wait to get started.

 

 

Happy Stitching!
