Whims and Fancies is hosting this fun event - a chance to show-off our favourite projects from the past year or so - here are my favourite ten:
 |
| 2015: Birdcage - a tote bag for my trainee teacher. Black and white is such a classic combo, can't go wrong! |
 |
| 2015: 50c Mixture baby quilt - I love the bright colours with the white, and the use of the black and white binding. |
 |
| 2015: A+ Quilt for Lachie - this large lap quilt was made for my friend's son's 13th birthday. I have been wanting to do a plus quilt for a while so this was a good chance to try one. I loved the mix of blues and greens. |
 |
| 2015: Christmas Joy lap quilt - I loved creating this from a charm square pack that I had in the stash. Around the border I free-quilted the song words of 'We wish you a Merry Christmas". |
 |
| 2015: Little Leap Frog - this is a cot quilt or small lap quilt and I just love the blues, greens and whites It was a fun pattern to work with. |
 |
| 2015: Spiderman twin quilt for my nephew - this was a lot of fun, especially when it came time to quilt it, as I had fun quilting web and spider motifs in the different blocks. |
 |
| 2015: Slice of Summer lap quilt - I could not pass by the blues and whites of this fat quarter stack. I created a pattern for this quilt and whipped it up during my summer holidays. |
 |
| 2014: Birds on High wallhanging for my cousin - this was a lovely, quick project and I loved using the pinks and greens, as well as the bird silhouettes (which were overstitched by machine to give them outlines and wings). |
 |
| 2014: Sunny Southland Day lap quilt for my workmate - this was another charm pack that I was really keen to use and it made a perfect birthday gift for Jo. These fabrics were fun to work with, so colourful! |
 |
| 2014: String of Pearls Remixed - this is a very large lap quilt that I gave to my cousin for her birthday. I loved using the Remix Ovals for Christa's String of Pearls pattern. |

ReplyDeleteThank you - I really enjoyed using up leftovers or stash fabrics that had been calling 'use me, use me!'
DeleteAll very pretty ! I really like that string of pearls! The pattern AND the colors! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a really cool pattern and using the same geometric but in different colours is super effective alright!

DeleteAll of your quilts are quite lovely but String of Pearls Remixed really spoke to me! Isn't it so much fun to work with color!
ReplyDeleteI had been wanting to make that pattern for a while, took me a few months to get enough colours of the Remix Ovals. It was worth the wait.

DeleteThanks for sharing your quilts. I particularly like the Birds on High. Did you use a pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, I made up a design; I drew the bird shapes based on some silhouettes from Google Images, and set up the layout etc before I started.
DeleteSo many quilts and so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you!

Thanks Soma! I was determined to get the quilt finished and photographed on those hay bales before the farmer took them all away...mission achieved!

ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the show too - it's just so nice to see what other people have created.

DeleteOooh....so, so many lovely quilts. I love the fun of your birds on a wire quilt, it is very sweet and the fabrics are so pretty. Your String of Pearls revisited is stunning. Your choice of colours in this quilt is truly inspired. It has been a delight to walk through your gallery of quilts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! It was a pleasure to have a reason to share them all in one post!
DeleteVery nice! I especially like your rainbow circle baby quilt and the quilting on that spider-man quilt!
