Scrap Quilt - one Block

 I had a bunch of rectangles in a box so using little squares in black and white made a rather interesting scrap quilt top.

It's another one to be donated to the gift quilt program at Waverley Patchworkers.

Table Runner

 I made this table runner using an Aboriginal style fabric I had in my stash. The block is a small tumbler.

I was a gift for a family relative who lives in the UK.








Top for the Gift Quilt program

I am back making gift quits to donate via my Quilt Guild Waverley Patchworkers.

These tops tend to be scrappy because we use our personal stash and is quite fun to come up with ideas to use them. I try to make them really simple and preferably a one block quilt and even better if we can use jelly rolls strips.

These 2 were fun to make, easy and quite fast. Deidre and I did them together.





Needle case holder

 I didn't have a chance to make a posting to show you a Xmas gift I made for my friend Deidre.

I made it using batiks and hand embroidered a little.

Another Gift Quilt


After my last quilt I made using the ruler called Hex 'n More created by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts, I made another quilt top using the same ruler but a different setting when joining the blocks.

Still used batiks jelly roll strips with solid fabrics in the center and on the triangles. 

I donated the top to the Gift Quilt Program at my guild Waverley Patchworkers.com.au/



When I am in my studio sewing I often get visitors, here's one enjoying my pot plant.

 I had in my collection of quilting rulers, a ruler called Hex 'n More created by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts

I don't remember buying it but a friend showed me a quilt she had made with this ruler and I was hooked. So I got a bunch of batiks from my big stash of batiks and made a quilt with that ruler.

The pieces are so easy to cut and very addictive to sew by machine.

I used jelly rolls for the pieces around the hexagon.










Gift Quilt - Citrus Punch

 I have been having a lot of fun creating gift quilts for my quilt Guild and enjoying working with batiks.  

I made this quilt top with batik jelly rolls (2.5" strips). Very easy and quick to make.

 





Gift Quilt top

 I made another gift quilt top to be donated to the Gift Quilt program at my guild.

I had these fabrics in my stash so why not make good use of them.

Gift Quilt

 

In the past two days the weather has been very windy and wet, so I picked up 2 jelly rolls (batiks and white tone on tone) and made this top.

This is going to Gift Quilt Program for my guild to distribute.







Bargello Style Quilt

 

Several years ago I cut up lots of my scraps in 2 1/2" strips and made this Bargello style quilt. It sat on a box but finally I decided to quilt it.



And my boy Billy approves ! 





 I actually like it more than I expected given that some of the fabrics were not my favorites  ! 

I had a bunch of test blocks, leftover blocks so joined then all together and used it as the backing.

I quilted on the Handi Quilter using a variegated thread.
