Moda Ruby Heart Cushion

After a lull in creativity due to my fathers passing and funerals to organise, I found myself with time on my hands today and a newly arrived piping foot. I made this using some left overs from this quilt. I love the colours in these fabrics.

The piping really finishes the cushion off and adds a pop of turquoise.

The back, I should have used a zip but I didn't have one long enough, I like the edging on the flap, again a little of the moda ruby jelly roll made this possible.

All in all, I'm happy with it. This will go into my Etsy or Folksy shop once I have decided which to go for and made a few more items so my shop isn't empty.

Moda Ruby Quilt

This is the Moda Ruby framed square quilt I have just finished. I am really pleased with it, I love the simplicity of the blocks and the colours in the fabric. I am especially pleased with the backing which wasn't initially my choice but Patchwork Corner were out of the fabric I originally ordered and only had enough of this one. I'm glad.

It was very sunny when I took this picture which makes the colours look a little washed out. I decided to go for a patched edging using some of the left over strips from the jelly roll I used. I also used a charm pack. I did have lots left over so I have a couple of cushions waiting to be finished and a couple of pincushions.

Blocks for a quilt using Moda Ruby

This is a collection of items I have made so far this week. I'm trying to accumulate a number of things to sell at the school summer fair and this is just the start. Pincushions, cards and a drawstring bag. I will be making a lot more over the next few weeks so I have a selection of low, medium and higher priced items. I have made cushion tops but am waiting for a piping foot to arrive so I can finish them. I will also be making a few baby quilts and bags of various shapes and sizes. I am hoping that people will commission items from me once they have seen what I can do.

The blocks in the top picture are waiting for backing to arrive to be assembled as the first one of the baby quilts for the school fair.
