Applique Wall Hanging

My daughter had painted her bedroom, she has a large wall and asked me to make something to hang on it. 

This is what I came up with

I downloaded a few templates off the web, then cut out the shapes and had fun arranging on the fabric into the above  design

After ironing into place i then did some free motion machine stitching over the flowers and leaves so they had a sketchy look,  I used some bright rayon thread that has a lovely sheen on it

For the background quilting I did some free motion meandering adding hearts as I went along

To the back I added a sleeve,  a decorative ended pole can be slipped in here to hang the quilt on the wall

Quilts and wall Hanging, moda lexington

My first project using Appliqué. 

The fabric is a moda layer cakes lexington , just love the colours in this range. 

 Really enjoyed the Appliqué,  will definitely be using it again

 I also used the lexington layer cake for this quilt,  The photos dont do it justice.
The flash is stopping the paler patterns from showing up in the photo,  but i can assure you they look beautiful up close to the quilt

                                                      

Quilted Tote Bag

 Another sewing project, told you I caught the sewing bug.

This is for carrying granddaughters nappies and stuff when we go out, She is nearly one so we don't need to take so much out with us these days,  so I made a bright quilted bag to carry what I do take

 Popped a pocket inside for smaller things, also added a zip, dont like the open Totes

Close up of the quilting.

Loved making this have a smaller one planed for my summer bag.
