QAYG Flower Tutorial

This Quilt as You Go project was inspired by larger cushion and quilts from various sources. It utilises fabric scraps on an interfacing or fabric backing to create octagonal shaped flowers that can be appliqued onto a whole variety of projects.

Handmade Christmas Tree Ornaments

(Strawberry pincushions)

I love the shape and design of strawberry pinchushions and find them relatively quick and easy to make. Inspired by their design I took a mix of festive fabrics scraps, teamed them up with some decorative trims, lace, ribbon and crocheted snowflakes and created a collection of christmas ornaments. Why not decorate your own tree with some or maybe make a selection to give as gifts.

Quilted Floral Greeting Cards

This project is a great way to both use up the tiniest of fabric scraps and practice thread painting while creating something beautiful. I opted to go with a floral design for my greeting cards but the technique applies to any design you might like to make. how will you decorate your greeting cards?
