Scrappy quilts: My retro TV quilt
http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-retro-tv-quilt.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. My retro TV quilt. Because we're part of the Modern Quilt Guild, we can sign up to fabric challenges a few times a year. The latest one was a challenge using Michael Miller fabrics. The gray fabric inspired me to make a Jetsons quilt. So I decided to make a retro TV quilt, reminiscent of the snowy reception we often received in Alice Springs, complete with aerials and chunky buttons. Here's the gray fabric that inspired me - Jetson's anyone? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. My hairdresser has new teeny tea cups. And matching tea pots. Heaven! Links to this post. Both of my boys are playing ice hockey now and loving it! Links to this post. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Got up early this morning and made this block. Podcasts playing to keep me engaged, all my boys sleeping! Links to this post. Here's the beginnings of my octagonal orb quilt. I'm loving this block so much. Links to this post. This quilt is destined for our bed, so it's very special.

Scrappy quilts: Eat, drink
http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2014/06/eat-drink.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. I'm so thrilled with the Eat , drink table runner that I've made for my mum's long, long green dining table. I didn't use a pattern, just launched into it, using improv piecing. The fabric is special. I bought the green when I was at Trish's in Adelaide with mum two years ago. It's a huge fabric warehouse. And some of the low volumes in the piecing came from mum's stash - which she is progressively destashing. Free motion quilting paisleys. Finished eat, drink. Close up of the k.

Scrappy quilts: March 2014
http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 10, 2014. We went to Elm Grove cottages this long weekend - just out of Tumut. I loved the green, the rustic, eco feel of it all. There were rivers. We kayaked. I let my boys head off on a kayak adventure. It was two hours. They took a phone so they could map their progress on GPS if they needed to. I took a photo of them as they headed off, then a very relieved photo when they found the bridge landmark we'd all agreed on. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Find me on Instagram.

Thursday, June 12, 2014. Today, I'm working on twin quilts for twin boys due soon. I found a great picture on Pinterest and saved it in my baby ideas folder.

Scrappy quilts: November 2013
http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 4, 2013. This is a hedged-in garden I've just found minutes from my new job. Lovely! Links to this post. Saturday, November 2, 2013. The last day of our trip we spent just staying around the resort. Mark and his mum went parasailing and we enjoyed just relaxing by the pool. The blue is amazing. Links to this post. I found some wonderful quirky doors walking around Newcastle today. Canberra is such a new city and finding anything with an aged patina makes me want to take photos! We took a...
