It runs in the family....what can I say!

Over the Christmas break I caught up with my gorgeous cousin Brenda

who happens to be into quilting as well and she had some show and tell, so of course I had to take some photos and blog about them.

Her son- in- laws grandmother had lots of fabric when she passed and Brenda made quilts

for the family with the fabric, the rest was for her to keep and these are a couple

of the quilts she made.

Brenda recently purchased a Gammil Long arm machine with computer and has been

practicing her skills, I think this looks great, so colourful.

and she has done a fabulous job of the quilting.

this is a top to be quilted and also in

blue as well

and of course always when your trying to do something, you always

get extra input...

I love your quilts Brenda and it shows that there is talent in the family.

ha ha!!

I'm participating in Colourful Fridays run by Robyn from

Daisy Quilts.

Every 2nd week starting this Friday, 28th January, 2011, we post photos of the

colour for the fortnight, this week is our own favorite colour.

I am going to choose Red, I love red, its so vibrant and rich and

adds warmth wherever its used.

So I am off to discover some Red in the world.

Happy Quilting!

Stash Builder

 Loved these fabrics so of course I had to buy them

and these

My two nieces over Christmas have announced that they are expecting

in May and June, so when I saw this pattern by Natalie Ross, I couldn't resist.

I love making bits and pieces for babies so I have lots to do and of course

they have to have a quilt!!

I am hoping to find a good pattern for bibs

Any Ideas???

I seriously have to get cracking and stop procrastinating this year, I have decided this is

my New Years Resolution and to keep posting regularly, so wish me luck!!

Happy New Year!!
