Tilda Vintage Indulgence Project #5

Tilly's Vintage Heart designed by 
Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage
from the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.
So from this 
Little Box of Vintage Indulgence .........
......... to this! 
Five finished projects in one month. 
Must be a record for me.
I loved working on all of the projects and
I'm keeping them all for myself! 
It certainly was an indulgence for me 
as I wouldn't normally purchase something like this.

Tilda Vintage Indulgence Project #3

The Catherine Bag designed by 
Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage
from the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.
I really enjoyed making this bag. 
Was so happy that I managed to get the 
front and back curves sewn to the gusset with 
no puckering in any corner first go. 
Even the lining went together perfectly!
 
Project #4 is well on it's way.

Tilda Vintage Indulgence Project #1

  
This is the Heather Hexagon Pouch designed by 
Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage
 It is part of the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.
 
It is quite large, about 8.5" x 15.5" 
so plenty of room to hold lots of things.
I'm keeping this for myself! 
 
Things have been very slow in the sewing front and 
it's been great spending time in my sewing room.
Now onto Project #2!

Tilly's Life

 
 I have finally finished my 
"Tilly's Life" wall hanging.
 
There are 121 different Tilda 
fabrics with no repeats.
 
The stitcheries are from the Heartstrings 
quilt by Natalie Bird. 
It will hang on the end of the wardrobe 
in my sewing room and
I will see it every time I walk past. 
 I am so pleased with how it turned out.

A Tilda Vintage Indulgence!

I sold some things from my stash at 
our guild's trading table day 
so I thought I would spoil myself.
 
A Little Box of Vintage Indulgence
 
 So many lovely Tilda goodies.
 
 This is the pouch I started at Scrub Stitchin'.
 
  
  
  
  
 There were extra bits and pieces.
 
 These will keep me busy for a while!

Scrub Stitchin' 2025 - Part 2

 
 Sharmayne and I planned to work together to 
make coats for our rabbits as our main project.
Maybe it was just us but we found them quite tricky. 
After working on them all morning, we got to 
the collar and bias section. We just couldn't work 
out the next step and it was doing our heads in. 
At about 2.30pm I said we needed to put it away 
and come back to it in the morning.
 
I got up next morning and found a tutorial online. 
What a difference that made. 
Watching a video was much easier to 
understand than the written instructions.
 
 So apparently we were making a tailor made 
coat, only in miniature!

Finally, the coat was finished.  
It only took about 12 hours to make! LOL!
If I had been at home working on this 
by myself, I think I would have given up.

 Needless to say, 
Rosie will only ever have one coat!

I also put my Heartstrings stitcheries together 
to make a wall hanging for my sewing room. 
It is so much prettier in real.
There are 120 different Tilda fabrics with no repeats. 

I hadn't realised how many different fabrics 
I had and there were a lot more I didn't put in. 
And now I've added more to the collection 
on the trip up! Oops!
 
I also got the borders put on my 
Little Christmas Bird table runner.

Rosie and Tilly enjoying the show and tell.
I hope you've enjoyed reading 
about our Scrub Stitchin' adventure.
I'm already looking forward to the next one!
Rosie and the Easter Bunnies!

Rabbits!

 
For Kade's first Easter, I have made him this rabbit. 
It is made from the Tilda Woodland range.

I was in a rabbit making mood, so I made more rabbits. 
One each for my boys beautiful girls, Steph, Paris and Chloe. 
Of course I made all the rabbits in Tilda fabric!
 
 This is Cynthia! 
At our recent Chit Chat Crafters get together, 
one of the girls brought kits for us to make a little doll. 
A bit of fun but I don't think I'll be making any more! 
 Well, there's only 4 more sleeps before I head 
up to Corowa to pick up Sharmayne and we 
make our way to Scrub Stitchin' at Baradine. 
I'm sure I'll have lots to share when we get back.

I can't believe that Kade is 1 month old already.
He is doing well and putting on weight.
Going to miss my cuddles while I'm away!

Sunday Brunch and FNWF

 
Last week, I went to a Sunday Brunch event 
at Patchwork with Gail B's for the release 
of the new Tilda Sunday Brunch range.
 
Silvia and I had a lovely day. 
We were all given a kit to make a needle case.
 
In between eating, chatting and looking around the shop, 
we managed to get the front of our cases made. 
Mine is the pink one and Silvia's the red one. 
Silvia was very pleased as she learnt some new techniques,
I was lucky enough to win a gift voucher as a door prize.
Monday I finished off my needle case.
Of course I had to bring some pretty 
fat quarters home with me!
They are so much prettier in real life.
Last night I joined the girls for 
Friday Night with Friends hosted by Chez.
I got back to the applique for my 
Cherish Each Day Sewing Case.
We all received this kit at Scrub Stitchin' in Baradine last year. 
My plan is to get it finished before I go again in April!
This is where I finished last night. 
Two chickens and a snail added!
