It's been a year!

It's been a year since I have started my pattern design business of " passionately sewn ". It was this time last year when my great friend Val of My Patch fabrics in Milton took My Owl quilt to the Mad Quilters Gathering in Penrith. 

She's there again this year and here's a pic of her stand. My quilts are hanging on  the wall. The Kimono Girls and In The Wild quilt are mine! It's still so exciting. Just love designing.

Button deer wall hanging

I like making projects for home. And I do love deer silhouettes. So here's my version of a button deer wall hanging. Most of these are glued on card and framed. But I hand sewed about 200 vintage buttons on fabric.  Mmm I quite like how it worked out.

Fox cushion - Present for my good friend Rachel

I have just come back from two months camping and my good friend Rachel looked after posting out my patterns. 

Which I really appreciated.

Anyhoo, I decided to make her a present.... To say thanks. She really likes foxes, so I designed and made her an appliqué fox cushion.

Hope she likes it!! My daughter miss J thought it was very cute..

My owl quilt - Val's version

Hi all,
I had an email from Val who visited Black Possum in Tea Gardens, with fellow quilters from Blackhead Beach Quilters....

Anyhoo, she bought the My Owl quilt pattern for her daughter and sent me a photo of her version.... You got to admit it is a fantastic version... Thanks to Val for letting me post a picture

What do you think?

Cheers
