Sneak Peaks and WIPs

Hello all. I thought I would update with a few pics of my WIPs. I'm really excited that the P2 quiltalong starts tomorrow as it's the first one I've participated in as I've only been sewing since January!

On with the pictures:

This is a quilt for my niece made using Oh Franssons New Wave quilt pattern. I love the fabrics in this one!

Fabric cut for the next quilt. (Yay Tweets!)

P1020051
Beautiful fabric I picked up in Melbourne yesterday. First two bundles are from Ink and Spindle, the red dog print is "Boys will be Boys" by David Walker, a cute owl print is Opal Owl by Tina Givens and the bottom one is the blue Zoology print from Michael Miller. I could have spent so much money in that fabric store!

Also popped into Spotlight on Sydney Rd and found this cute balloon animal print:
P1020052
As it's 65% polyester and 35% cotton I'm not sure if I can use it for quilting. Any suggestions?

And finally, I'm making a skirt from Larkspur and thought the pattern looked good hanging on the line hehe

Phew! This is the end of a big post! Hope you enjoyed my sneak peaks. Cheers!

Help!

Argh! I am trying to pick fabric for my 6 year old nephews quilt and I don't want to go too childish. I was thinking of Ann Kelle new "Read, Set, Go" line but decided to leave that for the 2 year old nephew. Any suggestions?

Fresh start

Hello there. I have had this blog for quite awhile but have decided to delete the old posts and start afresh. From now on, it will be about my sewing/ quilting adventures and other random things. No more emo depressed stuff! I am planning on entering a Bloggers Pillow Party competition soon, will keep ya posted. Cheers.
