Log cabin bag

 I bought the kit for this bag way back in 2017 and finally made the time to stitch it.


I just love the fabric, pumpkins and sunflowers, and adorned the bag with likewise buttons.


I used some of the 1 000 decorative stitches on my Brother Innovis instead of stitch in the ditch to quilt the bag.


The beautiful fabric.

This bag will come in quite handy when travelling.

Delectable Mountains

At the Oranje quilters Guild Spring Stitch Day on the 15th of October, teacher Annie du Toit taught us how to make a beautiful table topper called Delectable Mountains.



Different layouts can be used when stitching the minute 1 & 1/8th strips together.  Below is Annie's layout.


This was a most enjoyable project which went together rather fast with not too many seams to match.

Bubble/Puff/Biscuit Quilt

When I suddenly found myself without any work to do, I started working on this quilt which will be for sale.


I saw this type of quilt a few years back and always wanted to stitch one, so when I had this extra time on my hands, this was the first project that came to mind.


I stitched 121 x 4.5" blocks and used the Trip around the World layout.  The completed quilt measures 44" (110 x 110cm).


On the back I used a baby print and a label with a special message.

The inside flaps closed.

The carrier closed up and ready for the road.

This was a really fast project to sew.
