2010 Sewing Calendar Challenges has Begun!

I've just managed to do the first one! My excuse is the school holidays - kids have gone back to school yesterday and my "baby" will start Kindy next Monday then I will have all the space, time and attention to sewing and gardening. I cannot think of anything much more fun than this! ;)

Anyhow, here's my answer to the first challenge from the calendar:


I think I will be giving it to a good home soon. It was fairly easy to do, however I'd use the iron-on pellon to make it easier and quick to finish. I didn't 'quilt' it the same way as the instructions asked cos I think it was abit of waste of thread. I did only three quilting lines for each coaster. Looks nice anyway.

Cheers till later, peeps!

Another Challenge to meet!

Am I crazy - I must be... I am blaming the horrible summer weather for this ;)

Anyway, thought it would be fun to join this challenge as it could means I would get some feedback and help from others who are into this challenge too.

Now I am thinking of making myself a skirt or dress - will decide next week anyway. I have both fabric and patterns at hand!

2010 Sewing Calendar Challenge

As I've been given this calendar for xmas, I thought it would be a fun challenge to do - make each item as per 'flyer' and post it here...

Time will tell! However the first challenge is coming up - making pinwheel quilted coasters. Great as I have heaps of scraps!

Cheers till later, peeps!
