Ric Rac Rainbow

Ric Rac Rainbow
Mini 1m wooden spools
I have the spools made locally
now want to get larger ones done for bigger amounts of trimmings!

Autumn Hues
Winter white
Golden Yellow
Chocolate Brown

Carnival Colours
Turquoise
Fuchsia Pink
Lemon Zest

Halloween Hues
Black Jack
Orange Tango
Purple Berry

Summer Time
Lipstick Red
Sky Blue
Bubblegum pink

The idea of these is so when you have used the Ric rac you still have these little spools to wrap your other ribbon or trim in your stash to wrap around them.

Life in Miniature blue

Dollhouse bedding set
Made in Cape Anne Fabric
I keep saying I will be making more of these and I will!
The drawstring bag really works.
Smaller than the 1" cushions or pillow throws in the picture
Took me 2 attempts to get it right (at 11pm last night!
Throw is lineen machine stictched in stars and then hand frayed
I don;t have a dolls house, only a homemade box room
which still needs decorating on the walls.
Wouldn't mind a window or fireplace.....
this can be addictive.......
just need to perfect 12th scale bunting.

Vintage Modern Quilt Top Complete!

Vintage Modern Hexi Quilt Top
 Bonnie & Camille fabrics
 could wait to try out a half hexagon quilt on these fabrics,
which I purchased yesterday (see yesterdays post).

Out of the 10 FQ fabrics I have used under half,
so i have enough for a doll quilt, cushion and some left for mixing it up with others.
It will be about 38" x 46" ish, once I have a white 2" frame around it, cot, lap or snuggle quilt,
But that's a job for another day.

Saturday Stash

Popped into my local fabric shop to purchase some batting to finish of a quilt.
I ended up walking out with these 10 FQ of vintage modern by Bonnie & Camille.
I was going to buy more and add more of the colours in the collection but had a really annoying woman quilter who keep looking at my picks and saying no you don't want to do that, clashing, no don't add the green, add some of these (yuckky old fashioned peach fabrics - which DONT SIT with Vintage Modern), and where ever I stood she stood next to me holding her matching (but not matching) fabrics,  so I had to get out before she followed me home.
Never thought you could be stalked by a quilter before, first time for everything.
I am thinking of trying a half hexagon quilt with these.
And as Hubby is away working until next Friday, 
I think I may just get a bit of sewing in every night after work.
But I can't wait and I am off to cut it into pieces.
I haven't a clue how big I will make, that's my problem I will just lay it out on the floor as I go, it baby cot size or may get a twin single out of it if I border it with white...
Happy Weekend, and watch out for stalking quilters............

The sun popped out
and I was at home
I got some mini quilts photographed 
I used Cape Ann Fabrics for 3 of them
 one in blues
88 2.5" squares into 2" squares
One in Green 
And one in pink
All with spotty bias biding from my shop 
Matching scallop bunting
2" wide 1.5 metres long 
Loop ends and cute covered buttons
to finish the ends ready for hanging 
And then some more..
A simple grey pompom quilt
would make a great baby photo prop 
A slightly smaller one
Liberty of London prints 
Think I have shown this one before
a candy mix of pinks and prints 
Love making these
just too many fabric collections to choose from!
