Welcome Teddy 12 inch Mini

Dia Duit, yesterday during my lunch break, I posted my Welcome Quilt to my secret partner.........I am very happy with the result......and enjoyed the painting process ....as well as using traditional quilting fabrics....I have always had a deep love of the colours midnight navy, burgundy, forest green....
I am very busy with my work.....a huge workload to slog through.......stay warm......or cool...as the case maybe.....bitterly cold in my part of the world...

A Re-start - 12 inch Mini Club

 Dia Duit, recently I joined in with Cheryll's 12inch Mini Club, the theme was for a Welcome Mini Quilt to hang on the stand....initially, I had an inspiration block, as to what to make....searched high and low...and remembered a Christine Book pattern, I had for a cushion.....I spent some nights creating the quilt....but made a fatal mistake....the quilt measurement was to be 12"x 14"......I measured my frame and came up with 11 1/2 inch x 12 inch.......once completed.....the quilt was too small......I was unable to send it to my secret partner as it is...... a re-start was in order.....

I love Libby Richardson's Bear Patterns......and have this one in my stash.....the last couple of nights was spent....sewing the stitchery.......do I or don't I paint the bears....I know I did it back to front..but have spent this afternoon.......painting.......grin....next step......to make sure my quilt measures 12 inch x 14 inches.....I have no wish to do a repeat....as I will time poor over the coming weeks.....
Late last year, I was playing with some fabric and patchwork blocks partly made...and fell in love with.....the early eighties traditional fabrics.....so I have been searching for them......in the patchwork shops ...I have come across some over the last few months.....looking forward to making the borders........

Prairie Bonnet

Dia Duit, last week while I went to Melbourne, for a test, I purchased some fabric from a local store that is re-locating.....the patchwork fabrics are half price......
I have had a yen to make a Prairie Bonnet.....and have been surfing the net for sometime........and came across Angi's site......www.drakestoneprimitivescountrycabin.com. where I purchased the e-pattern.
Once DD builds her house, I have plans to de-clutter......and have made a start in the entrance way.....which has terracotta tiles.....I was happy with my choice of fabrics.....hmmm now I need to talk DH into making me a proper peg hanger.......I think I will have to wait awhile.....as he is busy tinkering with a car....to have it ready for the Queens Birthday long weekend...at least the bonnets are made...
