Fabric Painting

We're back from Edinburgh, which was absolutely amazing by the way, anyone who hasn't been to the Edinburgh Festival (Fringe) should be smacked over the head and forever banned from eating chocolate ever again.

Anyway, after a very busy few weeks I am now back to working on my quilts and other projects and I have just finished this little wall hanging and I am very happy with it.

When I was working on my blocks for the quilt-as-you-go-quilt I saw this one and and thought, 'no, this is way too cute to go into that quilt' and I decided to use the block for a wall hanging.

As you can see I absolutely love straight line quilting (maybe because that is all I can do reasonably well by hand, no I do like the effect too, besides, I might get a sewing machine next week, joint b-day pressie from Monkey and his family).



I am now trying to figure out how to actually hang it on the wall.

the back:




Hope you like this one.

Love, Nadine

Tumbling Down

A two-sided wallhanging. (I love working with visual illusions and 3D effects.)

The front:

... and the back is a charm quilt (including a close up)

I haven't finished quilting it yet, and it keeps collecting wrinkles sitting folded up in the quilt storage box, but one day I'll get around to finishing it properly.

Hide it on the Wall

Finished baby-storage-wall-hanging (not to be misunderstood as a storage unit for babies). No, this is a regular wall-hanging with 4 storage pockets for small items or books.

Now working on another baby quilt. Good thing baby quilts are smaller. At the rate at which my friends and colleagues are reproducing I would never get to do anything else. :)

Big in Japan

Time for another quilt. This one is made up of leftovers. Actually, I am planning to make several smaller quilts from the Asian fabric range because they are so arty and look good on the wall.
