After being inspired by Chooky and Sandi making "Cosmo" from the Angles With Ease book by Anka's Treasures.....I just had to get the book and ruler and have a play too.....
(available from Sandi at
Shiralee Stitches )
This is my effort... made with Denyse Schmidt fabric.....I just love the retro look of this material.
But I need to decide what to do with the border....
coloured Or white???
A little road trip on the weekend found me travelling through Bathurst on Monday....
and look who I found... having a little stitching time together.....just wish I could have stayed.
But it was lovely to catch up, have a cuppa and cake!
It's
Deb and
Khrissy....Oh, and Pegs little chickens... George and Georgina were hiding in my sewing bag.... I guess they will have to be fostered as
Peg and Dale have gone off travelling again.
The girls have been encouraging Elizabeth with her English paper piecing and her table runner is growing into a quilt....looks fantastic!
July Stitch along project completed....
Next project started.......3/4" strips.....what will it be?
Just love all the wattle out at the moment.....I thought Cootamundra was the Wattle capital.....But Wattle Flat...(near Bathurst) sure looks amazing at the moment!
Till next time
keep stitching

ReplyDeleteThe top looks fabulous! Looks like you had fun, and that bag is super pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your stash, the angles quilt looks fabulous. Great that you got to visit the girls. I went through Wattle Flat yesterday and it really wasn't hard to see where it gets it's name. The strips look like an interesting project.
ReplyDeleteFirst off...I adore the bag you made...birds are my favorite! I like both borders...but the color is best I think...or maybe both? Have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteAngles look great. I think go for colour with the border. Oh! your bag looks really cute too.
ReplyDeleteWow you have powered on with that quilt! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWaiting to see what those strips will become!!
We are heading to Kerry's next weekend, so I am hoping to make one of those lovely quilts as well, it may only ve a table runner.........maybe the coloured border I think...those chicks have been so naughty...stressing me out, I think I was way too old to have them....LOL...love the bags..
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in , was great to catch up !!
