Modern Denim Wagga

I finished this modern take of the traditional Wagga Quilt/blanket..  It is made of denim from old jeans with some feature fabrics added.  I have also appliqued old surf design labels - these had been taken from old clothes - goes to show if you keep things long enough, they will be used eventually!!!

SWAP

These are from the May swap - I received my parcel from USA last Friday - either 'better late than never' or 'good things come to those who wait', or perhaps both!  I have added a close-up pic of the quilting on Ann's wall hanging - very different, looks great!

Wallet

I made this wallet for the bag raffle at our quilt show in July.  It was quite a challenge - happy with the result, although it maybe a 'one off'.

6,020 LATER

My 1/2" hexies finished - well maybe.  I have quilted this by hand and have done enough to enable me to finish it for our upcoming quilt show.  I may, at some stage, do more quilting on it.   I am happy the way it is.  Need to add a hanging sleeve and its label.  I pieced the large hexies for backing.

THE SWAP

At Queensland Quilters Picnic in Rosewood last week, there was a swap of a dilly bag.  I did one with 3D flowers from a design by Leesa Chandler.  The one I received in the swap was a bag made with four outside pockets, each with a Japanese kimono appliqued on it.  By chance, this was made by one of my sisters!  I couldn't believe it, out of all the bags (and there were many), I got this one.  Will treasure it!

SCRAP TECHNIQUES WORKSHOP

I have put together some pieces we did at the workshop and added the applique.  Perhaps it will be the start of a quilt - perhaps????

HEXIES

I have finished the top of my hexies quilt - 6,020 in all.  Now to add a small border to applique them on to and then quilt and finish it.  They are half inch hexies with many being fussy cut - lots of fun finding cats, dogs, etc.  It measures 65 x 61 inches.
