redwork & giggles!

ta-da!

My photo does not do this lovely quilt justice - head over to Kootoyoo for a better look! It was a really fun night - and so wonderful to meet fellow bloggers for real. Thanks to Anna, Gina, Tania, Nikki, Cam and Peta and others for lots of giggles!

Check out Pam's blog (Pippi Creates) for a very silly picture of the two of us in the skirts we made before going to the launch! Pam is a very clever seamstress - she also makes lovely kids clothes using all sorts of techniques - check her out here. 

Finally, a HUGE thankyou to Kirsty from Kootoyoo for organising this wonderful project. It was a pleasure to be involved and I can't wait to see where our lovely quilt ends up.

my creative space ... in panic mode!

OK - the deadline for my square in the Quilt Project is looming and I am slightly freaking out. Thus, my creative space this week is full of red (which is great - being my favourite colour and all!) ...

I'm still working on my design (which is why I'm in panic mode), but I'm thinking about an appliqued flower, with a bit of machine embroidered whimsy.

Also fun this week - trying to get to know my new sewing machine - we don't have a connection yet - mainly because I'm used to my lovely old Globe Janome (which sadly died last year - for good this time) and this new one is a fancy dancer which is taking me a while to understand!!

Here's my first draft/testing the machine square ... I'm imagining more petals and more layers ...

Thanks for dropping by - hope your project is going well.
