Oakshott fabrics - new patchwork quilt is in the making using one pack of Lipari fat 8ths



I started off with one pack of fat 8th from 
which you can buy from www.aiguilleeboutique.com



I sewed different colors together to make a square, then with another colour I cut and used  the 
reverse applique technique to make the round shapes.



I decided to place them with alternate stripes



I'm using the scraps to sew together and make a border for the quilt.

I'm quilting by hand with a multiple coloured thread in diagonals about 4cm apart

I shall then be turning over the black backing to sew onto the coloured border.
Shall I do this by hand or machine?


The finished quilt in the next blog article.   Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you.

My old T shirt transformed

Sewn on with RED thread these buttons make my old washed out T shirt look interesting and give another few months (years?) of  life.   


The buttons are amazing and are machine washable.  There are so many different buttons to choose from its hard to make a choice I know.
