Cardboard Cat Bed
I think I’ve found my next quilling project, inspired by this cat bed by Design Sponge.
Quilted Tea Cozy
This should have been easier to make. I had no pattern, I just winged it. I sewed the ties on wrong, ripped that out, then I had the batting on the wrong side (it would have been showing on the inside of this teacozy. So I had to rip that all apart and put it in the right place). Whew! Now it’s done. And I do love it. It’s bright and cheery, and allows me to pour my tea without having to take the cozy off. I just tested it and it kept my tea warm for over 2.5 hrs!!
Pink Quilt
Finished this girlie quilt today. It is only 33 inches square. The following pictures show some process shots. Neat to see what the quilt looks like before the quilting process.
Blue Quilt — My First
My first quilt (strip-style quilt) made from fabrics given to me from a friend, Shani. This quilt is only 36-inches square. I sewed squiggly stitch lines for the quilted part. Back side is white. Looks great with our sofa!! Thank you Shani (tot-to-go.com)
Quilts made with love
My mother-in-law is the most giving person around! Her name is Mary. She has made over sixty quilts in just the past three years. It is her passion, her love, her addiction. One summer, she made twenty quilts and gave most away to family and donated some to the long-term care hospitals.
Mary’s style is hand-stitching. She prefers this to machine stitching. In my opinion, this has a much more hand-craft look and warmer than machine, and takes much more patience!
These two quilts she made for my friends. The small lap quilt is an asian influenced design from a pattern. My friend Angela picked out the colour scheme. The large double-size quilt is made of fabric remnants given to her from Shani (who the quilt is made for as a surprise gift).
