More Hearts for Christchurch

AS there continue to be more earthquakes in Christchurch I have posted off a few more hearts to Evie.  Check out her site for an international gathering of hearts sending love to the people of Christchurch.

The southerly blaster, straight from Antarctica has hit too...it can't be much fun down there.
Thanks to Evie,

Hearts For Christchurch

Last week I came across a blog called HeartsForChristchurch.blogspot.com and am inspired to send a few hearts off myself.  Evie Harris is collecting them, sharing the photographs and then will organise fro them to reach Christchurch.  The hearts are gathering from all over the world.  A lovely thing to be part of....Thank you Evie.

I will post these off to you tomorrow!
I do hope they find homes in Christchurch and add a bit of cheer as the winter sets in.

Mini Quilts Are Fun!

Inspired by the colourful mini quilts by Red Pepper Quilts and The Gourmet Quilter...I have made my first mini.  My fabric pieces were cut into 2"by 4" rectangles before I started to trim them down to fit together. I used something old and something new in my fabric stash.
What has developed would make a lovely wall hanging or a top for a bedside cabinet for a girl.

I love the "Wish It"  "Dream It" wording on the mauve fabric.
This quilt measures 15"x15".  It is 100% cotton top, batting and backing.
I did enjoy making it and may go even smaller with my pieces next time.
Enjoy...Salsy.

"Happy Days" Quilt Emerges

I just love the fabric range that came together in this quilt.  It is by Kumiko Sudo for In The Beginning fabrics.  The quilt is 100% cotton, top, batting and backing.  It is backed with very fresh spots on white, yellow and pink.

Hope you Enjoy it...Salsy.

Happy Days

Just a few images to share..hope you enjoy them!

We are enjoying our new kittens...Bear and Nigella!

New Clean Lines to my Blog

Today's job is to clean up the lines of my blog and have a play with the settings.  I like the clearer look...what do you think?

A Pause In The Flow

Perhaps I should say a "Paws" in the flow.  Not a lot of quilting activity has been going on here in the last couple of weeks as we are being "Kittened".  Yes, Nigella now has  a buddy...  he is so handsome...Bear is his name.  He is all boy energy!

I did take few moments yesterday to check through my stash and sort out a few ideas for fabric for my first quilt class of the year...starting Wed am.  I am doing a huge applique quilt...the class goes for the whole year..once a month.  Can't wait!!
