Iddybiddy Designs

I just received a great parcel of fabric from Wendy at Iddybiddy Designs - my order plus some extras! This is by far my favourite aussie online patchwork store! Great prices, very efficient and helpful, and always some extras included, especially if Wendy knows you make charity quilts.

Thanks Wendy!

Jackie has had several quilts in progress for a while, then we had a break over the holidays. So here's one of hers all finished. As you can see, its squares but in a different layout.

I also finished the other of the antique block swap quilts today. Very similar to the first one, but with different coloured sashing and of course blocks by different quilters. Thanks SCQATC!

Audrey has just finished another Squares quilt, using the lovely orange batik Joan sent. I love these fabrics - so bright and happy!

And here is the latest quilt I made. I'm in an online quilters group, and last year we had a block swap where we sent a centre square to other people, and they made a 12" block with it. I ended up with 17 swap blocks, so made another 13 myself and I'll get two lovely bright orphanage quilts from them. The first one is finished:

Here's a picture of the first block in an online BOM I am doing for an orphanage quilt. Its really cute and fun to sew - I'm going to make another as well in different colours

Fun BOM

I found a new fun BOM on the net this week, so I'm going to make it for one of the children. Simple stitchery and easy blocks. Found a perfect border fabric in our Zim stash, so I pulled out a bunch of FQs in matching colours.

We are back at work in 2011!

Audrey made this lovely bright quilt, using diagonal squares, one of our favorite patterns. We have a whole box of 6 1/2" squares precut, so to make this pattern we just pick a border, then sort out squares to match, and add to them from the stash. It makes the cutting quite quick.
