I really taken a liking to the Swoon block. I sure most of you would have seen a lot of them floating about in blog land. I had been admiring the blocks for a while and couldn't resist any longer. Here are my first five blocks and what I love about these blocks is how large they are, only 9 blocks makes a 80x80" quilt.<br />

<br />
I need to do some serious saving because I have decided to go to the AQC next year in Melbourne and I was hoping to get any tips and advise from anyone that has been before where to stay etc... I will be travelling by myself so any help will be gratefully accepted. <br />

So the next best thing would be to win it, so for that reason if feels like a double edge sword sharing this information. If I share I get a extra entry yay, and if I share there is more competition. That's just the way I roll lol read the review and get your entry in.<br />

I immediately spotted one project (the very last in the book) and decided to make it straight away. I just love when books inspire you instantly. Here is my take on the "Red Cross Bag". Apart from my obvious joy in my new handbag, it was the first time I had ever tried a log cabin block. I was pleasantly suprised at how I like going around and around. This book covers a broad range of techniques and I highly recommend it as a bookshelf keeper.<br />

The next book I have been reading is the ever popular Block Party Book. I have always admired the cover, so it was a no brainer for me to take a look at it. I have found a different type of inspiration in this book, the kind that make me look at a project and think i could do that, and then get a whole stream of ideas that float through, it definitely appeals to my modern aesthetic.<br />
<br />
There are 3 other books that I won't review today but I will say that they all have ideas in them that i will be adopting in some way or other in the near future. <br />

<br />
Now don't get me wrong, there is also a lot of good good free information out on blog land, but sometimes it can be hard to pin point where you saw it so its nice to have book too.<br />
<br />
Take care , I'm off to sit in front of the Tele and watch the All Blacks play Canada.<br />

<br />
These 3 books are about Dewey who inherited a Quilting shop form her Mother. They are light hearted mysterys with only a little blood and very pleasant to read. I thoroughly recommend for a easy afternoon read. If anyone is interested I have Ocean Waves if you would like to borrow, I actually read this first before I read the others, and it didn't bother me reading them out of order.<br />

We have been to the doctors 7 times in the last 4 weeks, 2 Hospital trips and thankfully only one visit to the Laboratory. He has had about 3 weeks off school so my sewing time has been severely compromised. So on Wednesday I was able to blow the cobwebs off and get organised again.<br />

I participated in the recent I Spy Swap 7 over at <a href="http://obsessivelystitching.blogspot.com/">http://obsessivelystitching.blogspot.com/</a> we had to send 200 4" squares comprising of 20 different designs (10 of each) and we got back 200 different designs back. This was a lot of fun and it all ready and cut up. It really did take quite a few hours cutting time and also hunting out fabrics to send. This is what I got back. I think I will make 2 or 3 really nice baby quilts of out of these. I'll keep you posted on my progress.Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04083974334509311064noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796868976899976428.post-72788024957559675862011-09-02T18:11:00.000-07:002011-09-02T18:11:10.067-07:00Santa Sack Swaps<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVgH5de9bjwGH4wxGxj4yQTzQYvjQt_Q4Rsf3T_QMYaQtI8p0_5zAqrNta13XHl_WDQwf8p6p694M-cLdaPN08tcq4uoQECLwRqepXSTWaAByY57SbmJikEA99fbwvtphKerJEqMhJxc/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVgH5de9bjwGH4wxGxj4yQTzQYvjQt_Q4Rsf3T_QMYaQtI8p0_5zAqrNta13XHl_WDQwf8p6p694M-cLdaPN08tcq4uoQECLwRqepXSTWaAByY57SbmJikEA99fbwvtphKerJEqMhJxc/s320/007.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>These are so much fun. I love the creative thought process that one must apply when making the sacks and also choosing the presents for someone that you don't know. Its good to challenge yourself every now and then. I receive my partner Peta's Santa Sack for me in the post today.<br />

Here is a sneak peek at what I'll be sending Peta this week<br />

I had already started some cutting up last week and today I was really determined to make the most of it. Our bed is huge super king so the top probably needs a couple of fat borders and then I will attempt to quilt it on my machine sometime next week. Wish me luck I think I'm going to need it.Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04083974334509311064noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796868976899976428.post-91869740037123756922011-07-30T21:57:00.000-07:002011-07-30T21:57:28.536-07:00Farmer's Wife Quilt Along Progress<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love variety in making all these blocks, repetition does not suit me well on the best of occasions. The only thing that is driving me crazy about this quilt is my own colour choices. How I love the look of expertly chosen fabric collections and the like. So I now ask myself WHY did you do scrappy, in one word "Budget" in New Zealand fabric is extremely expensive generally anything from $26 - $33 per metre which is a liitle over 1 yard. So really I do have to make the most of my scraps and learn to love them along with how I pair them up together. ho hum</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I made a start with my blocks, I will try and do a couple everyday to catch up. The book is really beautiful and inspiring. Most of the blocks seem to be self explanatory in regards to piecing. Because of my every growing bin of scraps I have no choice but to go that route and after completing 5 blocks, I am absolutely loving the challenge of matching my scraps. We'll just have to wait and see the overall effect a bit further down the track.<br />
<br />
FYI I printed out the templates from <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/57812459/Templates-Combined">here</a> and then as I need one, I cut it and completely cover in clear packing tape over cardstock. If it a square or rectangle block I am just noting the measurements on the template so when I come to use it I will just cut the required size. Not rocket science just another way to do things.<br />
Bye for now ToniTonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04083974334509311064noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796868976899976428.post-1889057608199659512011-07-21T21:10:00.000-07:002011-07-21T21:10:18.080-07:00School HolidaysIn New Zealand our school holidays are late because we are hosting the Rugby world cup in a couple of months and they had to coincide with the next school holidays and then the roads around the cities will be clear for all the cup traffic. Which is all fine but it means that the term was extra long and the kids have been hanging out badly for a good break. <br />
<br />
So this was the first week and not only did I have the kids booked in to Pandamania at the local Baptist church but we were also looking after my friends boy Noah. We have had such a cool week, and the kids have been so well behaved I can't quite believe that I have stepped away from the tearing my hair out to walking into what could I call it maybe "brushing knotty hair" lol. Anyway Noah's Mum generously gave me a $50 voucher for out local Bernina shop. I couldn't wait to get down there and spend the loot. <br />
