So I took a little departure from my regular creative fare this weekend. I had dearly wanted to do a bit of sewing for months now..but life gets in the way. So over the last year or so I have gathered up some sweet pieces of fabric that I love..much of it by Debbie Mumm...and waited. I waited for that perfect weekend to just let my quilting bug fly.
Oh my who could resist this sweet fabric..sigh....
So I created this little machine sewn quilt..a bitty wall hanging that will make me smile.
Oh oh oh I love this fabric...
A bit of hand work....
Look at those sweet puppies and kits!
Those sweet paw prints...
And there it is..20"x24" just perfect for a little patch of wall.
Sigh..I am a happy girl!

Adorable!
Soooo cute! I love the Debbie Mum fabric line too! I am in a sewing frame of mind too right now, so I am working on a skirt to take with me to Ireland next week - it's green of course! Amazingly I don't have a quilt going right now, but this little gem is a reminder that even a little project can be so much fun!
Smiles!
Absolutely charming Sarah! The yellow/gold border sets it off beautifully.
I LOVE the Debbie Mum fabric line. This is so cute. Love the kitties and puppies ... just right for the wall or your lap when you need a little cuddle! Well done!
Oh Sarah how sweet.....I too like to get away sometimes and do something different. Great job. Wonderful Fabric.

Oh Sarah, your talents knows to end! I love that about you, always surprising us with the most beautiful crafty magic! That is a beautiful wee piece and I am so happy you caught the sewing bug again. The fabric is beautiful, one of my favourite days out is looking in fabric shops. I could be in there for hours! I am hoping to make some bunting with all my fabric, but I only have a wee mini sewing machine which has a life of its own, but my friend just bought a super dooper one and will let me use it!I just hope i dont sew my fingers together or something like that! lol! ((hugs))
Sarah, this quilt is so sweet. You did a wonderful job. I like the pictures of the project as you work it. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your Sunday.
sarah, she of uncomon-and-proud-of-it fame,
this is totally beautifully sewn and definitely a reason for anyone looking at it to smile.
what a great use of a weekend!
