Another Bubble quilt done

 I received an order for a bubble quilt with butterflies and finished it today, ready to be delivered.


And so on to the next one. 😃

First order delivered

While I was stitching a pink bubble puffed quilt to put up for sale, it was immediately snatched up by a dear and loving family member who is constantly helping young people in need.  She also ordered four spit cloths and as I had some pockets left over from the quilt, I sewed them into a little cushion.



On the back I used a bright printed heart fabric with the same message I put on the blue bubble quilt.


Below are the spit cloths.  I embroidered little fairy dolls on each.

Monogram for Apron

On Monday, a friend of mine asked if I would be able to embroider a monogram on the pocket of an apron for a kitchen tea which was held today.  As I am not currently working it was no problem at all.  I used the Novelty font of Ageless Embroidery which was offered as a free font in 2013 - 2014.


I received some of the fabric as well and was able to use the same colors in the flowers.  I was asked to embroider it 15cm high and immediately thought about Ageless designs as they offer their monograms in really big sizes.

And this is the gorgeous apron.  Really beautiful.  If it were mine, I would never use it for messy kitchen work. 😀  A real lucky bride to receive such a thoughtful gift.

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.

Casserole Carrier

 At our October meeting, our quilting group made casserole carriers.  

The carrier all opened up.


The inside flaps closed.

The carrier closed up and ready for the road.

This was a really fast project to sew.
