Windy Weather.
Posted on | August 30, 2024 | 6 Comments
Our days are warming but with that we seem to be having a lot of windy days. It has been quite destructive in some areas. The wind was very strong earlier in the week, eased off, and then returned last night. I spent a large part of the morning cleaning up my front yard which was full of rubbish from neighbour’s bins. When I headed out to an appointment I found a large part of the road blocked by a fallen tree. Spring starts tomorrow – let’s see what that brings.
In amongst all that I managed to take photos of a small quilt finish. The wind was still blowing, but a quick photo in the lull seemed to work.
On a recent visit to my sister in law, I was able to help her make a baby quilt for a friend. She then gave me all the left over giraffe fabric. So, obviously, I turned it into a donation quilt. Too cute to waste! And a good size, too.
To add some interest, I embroidered around a couple of the giraffes.
I found a suitable backing.
And a bright green binding.
It was lovely to complete this from my stash.
A week or so back I attended a workshop to make a collection of small bags using the waterproof Splash fabric.
All four bags were made in the one session using only two fat quarters of the fabric. I had not used this before, and found it very easy to work with. So much so that I have started making a few more.
That’s my catch up for now. Enjoy the weekend.
Cheers, Karen

All the bags and pouches are so cute! And I think they would have many uses too! I’ve sewn with plastic before, but I certainly didn’t find it easy.
How cute is the giraffe quilt…. and the embroidery touch is perfect. I have never heard of that fabric.. the bags do look lovely.

Oh dear…I hate strong destructive winds. That giraffe quilt is adorable. Beautiful pouches too x
I like that quilt! The giraffes are so cute and I love how you’ve stitched around a couple. Someone is going to be very happy to get this one.
Those giraffes are so cute. Az for those bags, they look wonderful.I’ve never heard of Splash fabric, is it plastic?
