Hello! I’m still here! Went a little bit AWOL from blogland for a bit there. The 1st Modern Quilt Show Australia back in May last year was a huge success (more on that to come) but boy, was I wiped out afterwards. Just as I was getting my sewjo back a couple months later, we went and bought a house (as you do) and so everything was packed up and moved and unpacked. There was just enough time to settle in before all the Christmas\/Birthday craziness, with a few house warming parties thrown in for good measure and so here we are at the end of January and I’m finally getting back in the groove.<\/p>\n

I have been sewing & quilting a bit here and there and popping pics up on instagram<\/a>. Now I finally have a handful of fun things to share with you all, including a couple of special quilts for two awesome little people.<\/p>\n

First up is Lachlan’s quilt, a Single Irish Chain in rainbow colours over a silvery mid-grey solid background. It worked out about 42″ square.<\/p>\n

\"Lachlan's<\/p>\n

Simple straight line quilting outlines the chains in both directions, and bright blue binding keeps things fun.<\/p>\n

\"Lachlan's<\/p>\n

For the back I used a darker grey (which I secretly prefer and wish I used it on the front to, the colours pop right off it). Both quilts have their name and the year embroidered on as a simple label.<\/p>\n

\"Lachlan's<\/p>\n

Heidi’s quilt features pinwheels, made up using the leftover HSTs from another quilt I’m still working on. This quilt measures about 36″ x 47″.<\/p>\n

\"Heidi's<\/p>\n

The fabric line is Domestic Bliss by Moda, with Moda Solid in Snow as the background. I’ve quilted straight lines in the sashing and border to help define the individual pinwheels, and hand quilted inside the background on each pinwheel using Perle 8 thread. This was actually my first attempt at borders, for some reason those long strips scare me but at least on this smaller quilt it worked out ok.<\/p>\n

\"Heidi's<\/p>\n

I love this binding, is there anything Architextures Crosshatch (in Plum) cannot do? Another embroidered name & year.<\/p>\n

\"Heidi's<\/p>\n

I hope to see both these quilts being dragged around, snuggled with on the lounge, used as picnic blankets outside and maybe occasionally make it back onto the beds of two adorable little munchkins.<\/p>\n

\"Quilts<\/p>\n
