Well it's that time of the month, the 25th, so I need to show my finished project for the month, as I am participating in Narelle's ' 1 Xmas item'.
My idea came Pinterest, which was pinned from http://onesimplecountrygirl.blogspot.co.nz/. Take some cinnamon sticks, frayed plaid fabric, rusty bells, rusty stars, string & a hot glue gun.........& after a bit of playing this is what you get!
A couple of months ago a few friends & I set a challenge to make something from some cute little blocks found on Pam Buda's blog. This is what I made........................
Some pebbling & Celtic Bubbles for my background filler, I really love this table setting. Thanks to Pam for the online tutorial & Raewyn for the hands on lesson!
Last but not least a customer quilt, made from Joicelin's fathers & husbands old shirts. Quilted the same as the pattern found in a magazine.
I will have a lovely quilt to show you in a few days that I have nearly finished for one of my customers........think English paper piecing, think appliqued houses...................
Happy days to you all..............loving your comments as they are my fuel!
Pretties everyone. I love the border on your dresden plate. I have been trying to be more creative with my borders - but sometimes my mind just won't kick into gear. That is why I love to check my blogs and magazines to be inspired!
ReplyDeleteLove that border around the Dresden Plate. Great job on the xmas items and the shirt quilt too :)
ReplyDeletedrool - love the scrappy fathers and husbands shirts it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove Leanne
Love your ornaments, they must smell fantastic! As for your table topper, I love everything about it, the dresden, the border and your amazing quilting! hugs Wendy
ReplyDeleteAgree with Teresa - pretties everywhere! I think the old shirt idea is great. I've been collecting striped ones from the op shop and they look neat cut up.
ReplyDeleteHi Leeanne .. your cinammon ornaments are just gorgeous - I can smell them from here :-) And that table setting is just beautiful, your colours & fabrics & quilting.
ReplyDeleteI think making a quilt from the old shirts is a great idea.
Hi Leeanne meant to tell you the other night how beautiful your table mat was!!! Stunning and the quilting is awesome. Hugs xxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cinnamon ornaments you made, Leeanne! And your tablemat is so lovely, and as always your quiltwork is "WOW".
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Cisca
Very sweet ornaments and I'm guessing they smell lovely too :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I bet the ornaments smell lovely - looks like a fun thing to make. (Hehe I just finished my Christmas item whew, the 25th comes around quickly!!) Loved what you did with the square blocks and the dresden :-) Isn't Jocelyn's quilt from the shirts just fantastic?!!
