Zakka Key fob

The spring/summer has finally decided to arrive. We have had a very nice week-end with lots of sun and very warm temperature. We virtually lived outside for the last few days to enjoy the long-awaited warm weather. We also had friends visiting for the week-end so it was a full house and a very pleasant week-end. But I have had no time at all for sewing, to much catching up to do! It was so nice I felt I had been on holidays for a little while.... The weather is turning cooler again but I hope it will stay nice to give me some energy again.
Back to the sewing room, do you remember the 2 leaves I showed you last week? Hubby has found time to put the eyelets in and I have received the metal ware I needed to complete 2 cute key fobs.
I have sent this one today on its way to my partner in the RATZ swap.
 I hope she likes it as much as Miss Strawberry Shortcake did! It was fun and easy to make and would make a great little gift for a friend, I'll have to remember it when I need a cute hand-made gift!
June swap is for fabric magnets, I don't think I'll join the June one but I can't wait to see what the next one will be.

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

It is snowing...

Well not really where I am. It is pouring down with rain and it is very windy too. But it has been snowing in my sewing room! If you have arrived from the Holiday Lane Pillow  blog hop , welcome! Today is day my stop on the hop. I first saw Jill's design last year and saved it on my computer to make it one day! So when Madam Samm announced the blog hop run by Pauline, I thought this was the perfect occasion and signed up for it. Thanks to you for the motivation and the encouragement to get going!
