Playing on the long arm

So a few weeks ago, my amazing mother got a long arm quilter!!

needless to say I was straight out there to have a play!!

 

The first quilt I pinned on was one that I had pieced awhile back "purple passion" made with fabric by Joel Dewberry.

 

 

I just did an all over pantograph, which surprisingly only took me one and half hours once it was all pinned on!!

 

Its far from perfect, but far from bad for my first attempt I think!!

and yes I did notice that there's some threads on the back that I didn't dust off before taking the photo, but its dark outside now so I cant take another!!

 

 

No I just got to get the binding on, but no promises on when that will be done!!

The Quilt on the wall today......

I am sooo in love with this fabric.

The colours are so warm, they make me think of snugling up with a coffee on a winters sunday morning.

And these cheaky lil sparrows are just adorable.

The lil white birds dont quiet manage to stand out as much in the photo as they do in the actual fabric.

Excuse the train fabric in the background, but I had to share this one before I managed to finish it.

I cant wait for a winter weekend to snuggle up with a pot of coffee and this baby!!

The urge is back....

Last year I brought a road bike, and so much of my free time since has been spent out on the road!!

Last weekend however the urge to create returned.

So much to my handsome hubbys amusment I spent a large chunk of the weekend dancing around my sewing room to Taylor Swift's 22 and other trashy pop songs peiceing together this adorable quilt top.
