My busy day of sewing.....

I had a great day sewing at a sit n sew at Kilmore Quilters on Friday. 10am - 10pm... Including a Pizza tea.
This is how I spent my FNSI.
I started lots of projects.. Then I spent my weekend slow stitching my crazy patchwork item.
Monday I was at my Gisborne group and finished off some of these projects.
Then today at the Kilmore Quilters group I finished off more.....
Here they are...
PROJECT 1
8 x baby Bibs with 50" of bindings on each one.




GO BINDING BLITZ
I bought a lovely towelling bath towel/sheet for $5 and got the 8 bibs out of. I have been making these for years. They are great because the Velcro ones get filled with fluff and the Velcro doesn't stick. With the left over circle I will be making some nursing pads.

PROJECT 2
2 x receiving blankets.



I used Minky for the first time. As cute as it looks I think I will just do flannelette in the future. I think it will lay flatter.
I followed a tutorial from here

PROJECT 3
4 x Teddy Bear Pin Cushions. These are so cute.


I am making some gifts for Xmas and some trade table items. These are so cute and I got the idea from here

PROJECT 4
I finished my crazy patchwork item. I will be showing the Heathcote quilters tomorrow to show what I will be teaching there soon. I hope they like it and they are not overwhelmed with it.
Another 15" of binding....



WOW. I told you I have been busy
15 finishes for OPAM
415" binding.

Wow. Yes indeed you have been busy. Oh! The crazy work is LOVEly! I remember you showing me how to make the bibs and I've bought a yellow towel to make some. I'm not sure what size to cut the hole. Shall I trace around a yoghurt lid?

The receiving blankets are also gorgeous. Minky feels nice. I like it as an accent piece. xo
