Ring Cushions

I friend of mine is getting married next summer and she asked me to make her ring cushion.

I have made two for her to choose.

Eire's quilt

Eire has a new quilt.

I know, I've been an awful blogger, but I'm back for my few but lovely followers!

I've got a few things that I'll show you eventually, so I'm going to start with a project that I started more than a year ago. This baby quilt was supposed to be addressed to my niece, but she is 3 now and doesn't sleep in a craddle any more. Luckily, a cousin of mine had a babygirl just two months ago and I determined to finish it for her. It's my first quilt and must admit that I got some help from an aunt of mine whose sewing skills are amazing!

(thanks daddy for holding it!)

A fabric basket... again

Making these fabric baskets is definetely addictive. Blame Pink Penguin!
I've made this one this morning for a friend and her little baby girl.
In exchange, my friend has brought me hundreds of letters which we wrote each other
when we were 15 or 16 years old. Teen letters, what a laugh!

Make-up bag II

First of all, Happy 2011! 

This is my first post of the year and it's to show you what the Three Wise Men, 

coming on the 6th, are giving to my sister-in-law. 

This is the second time I use this Tilda pattern from this book, 

you can see the former one here.

Disappearing 9 patch

Since I'm a follower of Allison's blog "Cluck Cluck Sew" 

I've always wanted to make one her great Tutorials. 

 

As I'm just an amateur seamstress, instead of a quilt I've made a cushion

using her Disappearing 9 Patch tutorial. 

 

To make it a bit more original I made it reversible with some linen fabric and a botton.

 

Spring smelling in Winter

I few days ago a received these two lavender hearts for Xmas. Aren't they lovely? They smell so nice!

My first pincushion

A good friend of mine was coming over to spend this five-day holiday  in Madrid. However, there has been a savage air traffic controller strike here in Spain, which has had the air traffic completely still for two days, so my friend has had to stay in Barcelona (hopefully she could get her money back). It's been a completely caos over here and thousands of Spanish people's holiday or relaxing plans have been ruined because of the greed of  very few people... At least I have had more time than usual to blog around to see what my favourite bloggers have been doing lately.

Pink Penguin is one of my favourite bloggers ever. I find her really generous to share her awesome tutorials with all of us. I have also always loved her cute little pincushions, so this morning I have made this one inspired by hers.
