Little bunting

May 22, 2011


Every little boy and girls' room needs a bunting!  I made this one with scraps from my sewing stash and some yellow ribbon.  I love using my pinking shears (when they are sharp!).  Because these flags are sheared there was no need for sewing until attaching them to the ribbon. The bunting is double sided so that it can hang from the roof too.  (Note: if you have pinking shears and need them sharpened - Spotlight provide this service once a fortnight for $8 - handy!)


Here is Juliette getting cosy beneath the bunting in Isabella's room.  She loves climbing up on this chair and cuddling whoever is close by. 


This is one of my favourite flags - an Amy Butler print.


Since I had the camera out, I snuck in this photo of Stefan and Issie - Daddy is teaching Isabella about corn and they are checking on the spring onions and spinach.  We were watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution the other night and couldn't believe that some 17 year olds in America didn't know that milk came from cows or that eggs came from chooks - they must have missed out on all this!

Scrappy quilt Part II

April 25, 2011

Here are the latest square for my scrappy quilt.  They are lots of fun to make and I now have a total of eight squares. I probably still have 16 or so squares left depending on how ambititious I decide to be...

We have spent a lovely few days at home in Warrnambool with Mum and Dad and the fam over easter.  Isabella and Juliette have had a great time playing with their cousins and the rest of the family.  I managed to get to the local quilting shop and to their closing down sale to replenish my 'scraps'...


Here are a few of my favourites.

I am excited and impressed by the selection of quilting fabrics at Spotlight at the moment too.  They currently stock Sarah Morgan Toy Box fabrics (top right of this selection).  Very cute fabrics.


Juliette loves getting hold of my fabrics and making a mess!
