WIP for Flaunt

This is a WIP for a workshop I will be doing in October. It will be a bag made from 219 hexagons. DH reckons this looks like a face in its present form hopefully when I have all of the hexagons sewn together it won't be a face.

This week's Friday Flaunt

The blue star is a Christmas decoration a few groups are making Christmas decorations for the Bush fire survivors, started with the quick and easy hanging
The polyhedron star or Victoria's star is one 1 started 2 1/2 years ago and finished last Sunday. The pieces have travelled all round Australia with us but I couldn't find it, the packet had slipped down the back of the wheel cover under the seat in the caravan, found it when we unpacked the van. Over the past month I have tutored 2 workshops to make Victoria's star. The star was first made as a pin cushion about 4" high, the pin cushion was a memento to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee as Queen it is made from 60 diamond shapes.

The hexagons are a WIP getting ready for a workshop in October not sure of the lay out yet as this is our homework, the finished item is a bag.

Friday Flaunt a day early

This is a top I have completed today. The quilt will be a Quilt from the Heart for Bayside Quilters in Melbourne. The fabric with the yellow birds and thistles was one from BQ selection of fabrics for members to use for the QFTH quilts the others fabric were sourced from my stash. Now for the backing and quilting, not sure whether my machine quilting is good enough for this quilt have to think about that.
This quilt is one of those quilts that sort of come together as you make the blocks. It ended up 53.5" square. The design was governed by the amount of the feature fabric I had -1 metre. I found 2 fat quarters of the Wattle fabric added some black and yellow, sewed 1/2 square triangles, cut 6 1/2 squares. first border is 2" with 6 1/2 strips of wattle fabric second border is 4" finished with 1/2 square triangles as cornerstones.

Friday Flaunt 31st July

This weeks flaunt it this cushion I have made for my daughter's new rocking chair. James made the chair for her to sit in while she feeds the baby. The cushion that she had in the chair was the old quillow that I made her years ago in Essendon colours.
The cushion is in her favourite colours of purple as is the rocking chair. I received 9 patch blocks in a swap through Scquilters.

Friday Flaunt

I have sewn the binding on this quilt so now it is finished. The quilt was machine quilted by Susan Moroney and is made from fat quarters I swapped with QDU'ers and scquilters from Australia and America. This shattered 9 patch quilt is for the lady we live with as night time carers. The panel on the back I bought from Logans at AQC and the other fabric was swapped with a lady in America who bought it especially for me from Joanne's I sent her an equal amount of Australian flora and fauna fabrics as well as some aboriginal prints. If you recognize a fabric you swapped with me please let me know as I have misplaced the list of swappers I kept.
