There’s a green frog in my pond

Well, there’s a little green frog in my pond.  He is so cute hanging in there using a lily stem.  I love how the shape of the lilys have turned out – I used glue to help the curving stay in place.  The stems were a bit challenging having to turn them inside out but they turned out so great.  This is one of the Quilt Aid blocks and I think you can still get them – just look on the website www.quiltaid.com.au. You will also find examples of how to finish the quilts.

Little Green Frog – Block 3

Wow I am loving doing this quilt.  This is my first time of making bias bar stems.  I know I haven’t finished it but just thought I had to share.  I didn’t have a bias bar, so turn it into the right way I used a needle and thread.  I think they turn out alright.  I like how it blended in the with frog and give the view of the frog hanging on to a stem.  I still have more to go on it.  This desigh was created by Liz Stanway from Teddlywinks.

Fairground Wonder – Block 9

Well I have finished the Natalie Lymer block in Quilt Aid 2011 called Fairground Wonder.  All that is need is to sew the flewing geese to the quilt and that block is finished.  I love the colors in this quilt and really can’t wait to have the other completed.

Well I have just started to create block 9 in the Quilt Aid 2011 Whimsy and Wonder.  It may seem strange for someone to start with block 9 but I think that this was my favourite at the time.  This is the first time that I have made flying geese so here is my tail.  The design was by Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches.  The instructions were very simple and I think they turned out quiet well.  I had to finished due to the iron board breaking as a use this to set my sewing machine on so now I have to buy a new ironing board which I have had for over twenty years.  Oh well….
