Oops

Had a few quilting mishaps lately

Here is the first

I decided to do this quilt along

I was happy with how each block turned out but when I went to put them together the rows would just not line up. Very disappointing!

How ever I have not let it defeat me, I am going to add sashing between each row and that should fix it :)

Next

Spotlight wanted some 12 1/2 inch squares for some quilt they were making. it was supposed to be spring colours

I tried to adapt Kate Conklins fussy cut squares with floating boarder but I got my measurements terribly wrong. It's ok and they seemed happy with it :)

I am also working on a baby quilt for a friend. It was going along brilliantly but I ended up having some problems with the quilting :(

Haven't taken any pictures but I have managed to fix it and when its finished I'll post some.

I am going to blame these little disasters on DIETING or lack of SUGAR!!!!!

Can't be too upset though I've lost 4kg in 3 weeks

Have a great sewing day!

Little and Quick!

Anyone for dinner at my place?

Now my table can look this good for 8 people 

I think I should start entertaining again :)

I have been off sugar for 9 days now and the only way to keep away from the fridge/cupboard is to sew

I started by making this cute table runner

Not my normal colour/fabric selection but something about these fabrics grabbed me and I was quite happy with how it turned out,

but what's a table runner without place mats?

I made them reversible , so one side is green and one side is blue.

I machine stitched the binding, 

which I made using my bias tape maker :)

Had some problems but all in all very happy with the outcome.

So here is the set without all the paraphernalia.

All I need now for that dinner party is

more chairs and more cutlery!

Some guest might be nice too LOL
