Flower Garden Mini Quilt

This is a very small quilt I made to try out some free motion quilting. I had fun doing this and tried very hard to not be too worried about making mistakes.

Hoooked Gifraffe

 The lovely giraffe comes from another kit, this time from Hoooked. The pattern was very good and quite simple, the body and head of the giraffe are crocheted as one piece which means there's no difficulty with attaching the head later.

I did however find the Eco Barbante yarn very hard to work with. Especially with the bamboo hook provided it was very tough on the hands.

But the outcome is very pleasing!

Button Quilt

Here's a small quilt I made a little while ago. It's a very simple quilt made from one fat quarter bundle of spotty fabrics and a bit of left over pink from some cheap cotton I picked up at the market.

I decided to have a go at tying a quilt, and did this with some colourful buttons. I love the way it turned out and it was very quick to finish. It's only a small quilt, but it's perfect for over my lap when I'm watching TV.

Crocheted Dinosaur

This little fellow comes from a kit I picked up at the Festival of Quilts last year. The kit came from TOFT and I had been wanting one of their kits for quite a while. I was so excited to see they had dinosaur kits at the Festival that I had to get one!

Origami Bird

The pattern for this origami bird came from an issue of Quilt Now. I decided to make this as I was doing a Secret Santa swap with some friends, and the lady I was to be Santa for lives in Japan and loves birds. This was my first time doing foundation piecing and I was surprised by how easy it was.
