Pluses Aplenty!

A few ladies in my summer class have been having a go at some Plus Quilts:

The cot quilts above are based on this tutorial.



And these large quilts are based on this tutorial.

I think they are so dramatic, and the different fabrics chosen make each plus quilt look unique!

And Shannon made this one as a 'man gift'!

Well done ladies on your beautiful creations!

And how about getting your Christmas presents started early with these cute flex frame pouches?

Pop on over to Fabric Yard where you can find my tutorial and the fabrics these pouches are made in!

Happy sewing!

For the Boys!

To enter my Stash Builder Giveaway go here!

Today was our last Bee Blessed get together before the summer break!

The Plus quilt top (kindly donated by Katie) was quilted and the binding attached.

Shannon got a wonky cross quilt made for a boy of 10.

And for his little brother, she got the asterisk blocks sewn together (with a few leftover blocks added in) and today I quilted it.

These 2 quilts will be donated this week to these boys whose family lost their home in a fire.



And some of our spare blocks which have been donated and made over the past 2 years have been quilted up and will be on their way to Alison this week for her Soy Amado project.

There was of course lots of other important activities happening at Bee Blessed today (eating homemade lemon cake being one of them!). 

Thank you for all your lovely scrappy bow ties that have come in so far.  Please feel free to continue making them over the summer, we would love to have them ready for when we get back together in September.

Teddies and Frogs!

Thanks to Shannon's stirling work on making the Heather Ross cot quilt (front and back) I was able to get it finished today!

Shannon used up the leftovers and remaining froggy fat quarters in the back.

I free motion quilted it in curly swirls and added some stripey binding.

So this one can now be hung up in the classroom alongside this one ......

.... for an upcoming class.
