Tutorial Wednesday

 

I haven’t got a tutorial of my own at the moment but thought I would share this pictures of Miss G in the tutu I made her for Kindy.

It was her teachers 30th birthday and she wanted to celebrate with all the kids and they all had to dress up as something that they are learning about at the moment.

Grace wanted to be a ballerina as they have been learning about dance so I hunted Pinterest for some tutorials on how to make a no sew tutu.

Found it at the Library

 

A little while ago I picked up some 5” moda and Riley Blake packs from Little Starfish Fabrics and thought I would make a couple of quilts for the kids.

So I quickly hoped on to the Library Catalogue and madly requested a few quilting books.

And here is what I ended up with (sorry camera is out of action and had to use my phone):

I must say I think I need to find a beginners quilting book as although these books are fantastic and beautifully illustrated, I had a huge quilting information overload and started to panic.

I think the sensible thing for me to do is to start a few basic patterns and then take it from there.  I have to remember yes I can sew but I’m not that great yet lol!

Happy Reading!!!

In the garden

 

My magnolia tree is finally flowering.  I just love these big beautiful flowers.  I had it in a pot for ages after I bought it and when hubby finished the retaining wall out the front and we made the garden, I decided to transplant.

It has been sitting doing nothing for about 1year and half now and finally there is five new buds and one has opened for me today.
