i find the writing part soo hard, i should just post pretty pictures instead of even writing stuff, buuttt i'm a talker sooo i'll continue rambling on :)

after taking 2 of judiths classes i just had to sign up for a 3rd cause they are just so super duper fun and i really think that everybody everywhere should go to judiths classes!! this time it was for a quilt, oohhh!!! the ferry floor quilt, double oohhh!! it's a layer cake quilt, which was good cause i have loads of layer cakes and never seem to use them. so after umming and ahhing for ages i decided to use my long hoarded sunkissed layer cake with aqua for the sashing bits.

purdy, ain't it?? i'm really pleased with how it turned out, it's so summery and pink :) and people i have discovered hand stitched binding!! why did no one tell me how fun it is?? i'm completely hooked and will probably never machine stitch it again.

i quilted it in swirly blue loops (using aurifil of course!! is there anything else??) i think quilting is the most fun part along with stitching the binding on. i like that the swirly-nee soften the sharp lines

as soon as my mum saw this quilt she announced it was hers, so it now resides on her bed. i'm really happy with is quilt and it was such a great class!

right have to go and get packed for my craft fair tomorrow :)

c, what if i can't??

has it really been a week? it seems like far longer but also that it was yesterday, everything's a bit floopy at the moment.
i have been sewing non stop it seems but yet i have very little to show, my 'sewing room' is a fabric-y mess of projects in various stages of completion, it's an organised mess just how i like it!
this week i'm focusing on binding

i have to say binding is probably my least favourite part, but it's pretty so i don't really mind it. can you tell i have a thing for stripey bindings??

a boy quilt, this was fun as i'm always doing girly quilts i thought i'd mix it up and make a boy one, i was quite surprised to find that i had enough boy-y fabrics, this is awaiting binding and then its done!

prairie points are so fun i think i'll be adding them to a lot of projects in the near future, they're also totally adorable! this one is also just awaiting its binding.

just for fun if you fancy a giggle (and don't mind a bit of rude language) you should totally watch this video and who says women can't drive? haha

linking up with lets get acquainted at gemini stitches
