This morning I sat down and decided to see how far I could get with my Farmyard Animals Designs - I have 6 more friends waiting to meet everyone - First up we have Mrs Bull - or Cow as she is more affectionately known. Soft natured, lovely long eyelashes and a great big .... nose - I was going to say nose. Mr Bull loves her - nose. Following on Cow's hooves we have li'll Calf. What a little love. Mom's heart and Dad's pride. Li'll bullybeef in his suede coat is such a charmer. Next up Mr and Mrs Cockerell. 'Rooster and Hen' to their friends. Always on the look for a little something someone left behind. They're not fussy. Never far from each other all day except at 6:00am when Rooster climbs the barn and lords it over the farmyard. Hot on their heels it's Horse. A real trustworthy hardworking type. Not only good looking but really tall too. Seems to enjoy the childen riding him around the meadows. Last up today is Rabbit. Who the hell knows what he does all day, but he's got a great set of teeth on him this one, and can run - as fast as, well - as a rabbit. Here we have the Farmyard as it is at the moment. I actually have 4 more in the pipeline. Once these 12" (30cm) patterns have their instructions all done, I'll be putting them on my Craftsy Shop with all the others. Have a Great Monday!

It has been a weird week. I am running up against the deadline for finishing the "Elements" pieces and I essentially lost two days this week. Monday morning I woke up with a stiff neck and by bedtime I was in a serious amount of pain. Did not sleep and by morning I was in such pain and fear of what might be causing it that I went straight to the Urgent Care Clinic near us. It was a strained trapezius muscle in my neck, making my neck impossible to move without screaming, hot pain and sending tentacles of pain winding up around my skull. The recommendation was rest and drugs and sleep and a soft cervical collar to support the weight of my head. So I lounged around all day on Tuesday reading and sleeping, felt a little better on Wednesday and much better today. So I was back in the studio this afternoon. "Water" should have been easy (that's why I left it for last), but I had a hard time settling on an idea. Close to my heart is the wetland area where we walk, so that began to take shape in my head. I started with an assortment of blue, gray and tan fabrics and fused some strips to form a base. At the end of today I had this: I think I am nearly there. A few additions, then I will trim it to size and bind it. Speaking of the wetland area, we had a surprise when we walked last week. Sofia was with us, and as we came around the corner near the Fanno Farmhouse, Beth and I were talking away and Sofia piped in "look at the turtle!" There, studiously digging in the dirt at the side of the trail, was a large turtle. I took its picture with my phone. That evening on the local news was a story of another turtle that was captured in a backyard several miles away. They are snapping turtles that have invaded the wetlands and creek. They are not native to the area and are thought to have been pets, originally, that were released into the creek and have bred there for years. This is the season when they come onto land to dig holes and lay eggs. They are quite destructive, eating the native fish, frogs, even baby ducks and can take a finger off if you are dumb enough to offer it to one. We found this one pretty interesting and were happy to have encountered it until we learned later what pests they are. If we see another we are advised to call the Parks department or Fish and Wildlife, who will come and take it away. Wish I had known. Now I am on the lookout when we walk.

This weeks gorgeous block is Bird Of Paradise. I have had a few requests to include more paper pieced blocks in our quilts, so I thought this one would be perfect, Its a great little block to try if your new to paper piecing or you haven't tried yet. Its a quick and easy nine patch design and its only the side units which require paper piecing. They are quite basic but if you need a little help, I have my paper piecing tutorials HERE and HERE, which explain how its done. If you're not a fan of paper piecing, I have designed a similar block and I think, with the right fabric placement, this block will be lovely as well :) Both options are included in this weeks free pattern and you can download your copy HERE. I hope you have fun sewing this one, which ever option you choose. Happy sewing :)
This beautiful quilted table topper or wall hanging featuring woodland creatures, moths and flowers under the magical moonlight in a soft palette of blues, grays and pink would look lovely on a table or as a piece of wall art. MEASUREMENTS: approximately 18.5" x 18.5" The fabrics used in this beautiful table topper are from the Nightfall collection by Sarah Knight for Dashwood Studio. The central panel, made with Woodland Animals in Floral Frames fabric, is cross-hatch quilted and framed by three narrow borders of Robin’s Egg, Petal Pink and Navy Linen Texture fabrics by Makower and a wide border of Moth Floral fabric, all straight line quilted in coordinating threads. Between the front fabric and the gray backing fabric is a layer of Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton-polyester batting. The finished table runner is bound with the navy linen texture fabric and machine stitched for durability. In the top corners on the reverse are sewn two triangles to enable wall hanging from a dowel (not supplied). All fabrics and threads used for this topper are 100% cotton. CARE: The best way to keep your runner / topper clean is to simply vacuum it, ideally with a hand held vacuum cleaner. In case you need to wash your topper, in order to avoid shrinkage I would suggest machine or hand wash with lukewarm water, then dry flat. Iron on cotton setting, with gentle steam if required. Colors in the photographs are as accurate as possible, but when displayed on your computer screen they might be slightly different than the actual. This table runner is for decorative purpose only, it cannot be used to protect furniture from very hot items.

Hi Everyone, Here is the first of the blocks for our big push to get finished with our quilt this month. I Was literally buried under fabric last month and unable to get even 5 minutes to get these tutorials done. I have had the blocks finished the video filmed since the middle of August. Speaking of Video. I am not posting it with this block. This is a super easy block and I am pretty certain you can do this one without the video. I do have video for it and it will be posted with the next post. The video incorporates all of the last 4 blocks. If you are using the Cricut Maker to cut your blocks you can find the cut files for this block here.

And the Top right to the bottom left on the right side. 3. Place background 3 ½” square on the right side of the body 3 ½” by 5 1/2” rectangle as shown.

Place the background 1 ½” by 8 ½” rectangles on each side of the cat and sew. And voila you are done! I hope you fun making this adorable block. It is so quick and easy and makes a great fun quilt. See you next week with our next block...or maybe 2. Love,
The photo above © TildaI found the free pattern for this bird quilt block on Pinterest. In the Happy Campers quilts, the Bird block is used in two different colorways.

It's autumn already, but I have the spring back in my living/sewing room with the finally finished magnolia quilt! The idea was born in spring, obviously, when magnolias were in full bloom all around Dublin and it was still cold. Although I started the quilt in summer, I think the chilly spring air and the cold grey stone are there)) The top was machine-pieced using a freezer paper pattern, I showed the pieced flimsy here. The more quilts I make using curve piecing, the more I like this technique: once you think through your pattern, you just have to follow the numbers and put together piece after piece until it's all assembled. Supersizing is also helpful: it's easier to work with larger parts and the resulting image has a greater impact. At about 1 by 1.5 meters this one is my largest wall quilt so far! Quilting was, of course, the trickiest part. The flowers were quilted minimally, with kind of veins in variegated pinks, to make them pop up from the background. I tried dense freestyle quilting in the background and I think in some parts the attempt was rather successful. However, in other parts I got carried away and the result is not as good. Thankfully, the dark grey quilting thread blends in with darker areas of the background as well as with the busy prints in the upper left corner. By the way, I used up a whole 800 meter spool of Gutermann machine quilting cotton for the background (both for the needle and the bobbin)! The binding was also tricky, as I quickly discovered that none of my greys would go all the way around - the dark and even middle greys are too dark for the upper part, the bottom part wouldn't "accept" anything lighter than it was itself. I considered making a facing, but didn't look right in the upper part either. Finally, I settled on a pieced binding, though I'm still not sure I pieced it the best way. I'm open to critical remarks and advice, as it's not too late to change something! With this project off my shoulders, it's time to set new goals. I had been planning to try quilt-as-you-go (connecting the blocks, that is), but I don't have enough blocks to decide anything about the layout so far. So I was thinking about another challenge for the OMG and Brave Quilter, and remembered (or rather was reminded in FB) about the upcoming AGM of the Irish Patchwork Society, for which there is a challenge topic "Witches and Castles". I played with it and made a sketch which calls for rather intricate appliqué. So I want to try making it using the "crafted appliqué" technique I've heard a lot about. I'm really eager to find out what all the buzz is about. I've bought the book and supplies and am ready to start! So, my #Brave Quilter challenge and One Monthly Goal for September is to make a mini quilt using the Crafted Appliqué method.
