Snapshot Sunday

I am going to try and do this every Sunday... take a snap shot of my WIP's and blog about them.

I am working some bedding Georges cot. This is not a quilt... but a doona cover. I have been having so much trouble deciding on a theme (jungle? spaceman? etc etc) for his room that in the end I decided to give up and stick with a colour scheme instead. So I stash busted these blue fabrics and am creating a strippy Ispy doona cover. LOL. Because its not quilted I have been overlocking the strips together, just so they dont fray when the cover gets put through the wash every week or so.

For the other side I am deliberating between doing the same idea in green fabrics... or doing something plain like denim. Its a christmas gift for George and with only 11 days to get it finished I think it will be time that will be the decider.

Here is where I am up to with table runner #4. I have used a charm pack by moda. They are the "pashmina" fabrics. I am not really loving the way this turned out. So much so that I am thinking of saving the charm pack I bought for the 5th runner for something else

Here is the reverse. I bought a 1/4 yard of one of the pashmina fabrics, but it wasnt quite enough for the backing. So I pieced a few of the left over charms into a block and inserted it into the backing. I think I like this side more. This runner is self bound so I only have the quilting to do and its finished

This is the new "big girl" design I am working on to add to the tin whistle range. I need to hem and add the waistband and then its ready. I really like it and think it will adapt easily to different sizes etc (I am not so hot on the old pattern drafting!). I have used Paula Prass Summer Sioree fabrics for this prototypes... probably most of the reason I like it so much :) I have to try it in some other fabrics and see if it looks as good.
