12 Inch Swap - Spring

Today I posted off my 12 inch quilt to my swap buddy.  The theme was 'spring' and to me spring used to mean getting out our beloved beetle, Molly and go for a drive with the top down.

So I hand drew Molly and the appliqued it onto a white background.  I then hand embroidered some flower stems and little daisys.

The next step was to make some yoyo's to be used as the flowers themselves.  Molly is then framed with some hand drawn flowers with yoyo's in the centre.

I hope my swap buddy likes this little quilt and the story behind it.

Friendship and Buttons

This past weekend I have been busy working on some projects to make up as little kits.  These kits will be quick and easy and very affordable so keep an eye out.

This one will be a little 12 inch mini quilt.  There is also a satchel bag and a larger quilt on their way. OH and not to forget the pin cushion.

Here are just 3 of the lovely panels we have in store.  My job this weekend will be to come up with a couple of designs for them.  I have already designed a wall hanging for the Merry and Bright one,

 

the others are just begging to be played with.
