quilt tops

kinda joining in the top 5 lists
.... so going with the no rules thing
 here's my top 5 handmade tops .... plus a favourite parrot
..... & a short reflection
in vague calendar order
top left :: swing it sister
top right :: bamboo wonderland
middle left :: scrappy wip
middle right :: one a penny two a penny
bottom left :: party like a parrot
bottom right :: acid spotty coin stack


its been a big year of plenty of creativity
in the planning & execution
just not a mountain of quilting going on
lucky me acquired both an overlocker & steam iron
this year so this has spurred a re-newed passion 
to make clothing for me!
we traveled os & this always does something weird to my sewing focus
oh & if you missed it .... i started up a new business
so yeah .... not so much patchworking going on
but as always there are things happening in the background
i've noticed in going through my blog posts
& looking through images that i
have a true colour story going on
i did know this but its taken me a little by surprise :: nice to look at it all side by side
i'm very heavily biased to 'winging it' my way ... aren't i?
funny ... when you're in the midst of things sometimes you don't see it!?
(not intended as a bad pun but i don't mind a duality! he heee!)

oh & technically the one-a-penny ..... is not a quilt top
but i'd like to make one that way sometime ...

so wishing you all a happy and blessed
2014 ....  enJOY your journey

stacked acid that will never lose its spots

way back one evening when i was both bored
& probably procrastinating
then the next day another
designed to be a double-sided top
with no 'backing' as such
 i love working in this way
& that magic pudding of scraps has grown of late
so guess what
there are more of these in store
since they are bound for our new bunk room
at our cabin on 'our riBer' ....
so that means there are 3 more to make
x2 tops per quilt .... 
yep ... lets keep tally shall we?
oh & it was one of my colour examples
used in my chat at crafty hijinks

so a start & finish for the year
it was very nearly complete about a month ago
 ..... only had 20cm of binding to stitch down
done now .... love a bit of acid yellow or green ....
