Home


Holy roly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye.


I've been stuck at home for over a week! I've

 had a bit of an old man cough and trying to

 rest up - sleeping mostly so not much has been

 going on in the creative department, thanks to

 my third lot of antibiotics I'm almost back to

 myself...almost



No your eyes haven't gone - I forgot to turn the auto focus on :) but I liked the colour and movement. 




 here is what it should look like actually focused.





 I still think it looks like the entry way floor to a big old beautiful house




53 x 37 inches



I used my Pride & Prejudice fabric that I designed and printed on spoonflower and my left over bits of Liberty of London fabric that I had from my previous Quilt.

I used my full 1 yard of fabric in the pride & prejudice fabric.

Its a bright little quilt - I think it would be a lovely addition anywhere, but maybe a cot or stroller blanket or rug to play on?
Very easy to whip up.

It would look fantastic as a Big persons Quilt! 

Now I just have to work out how to Quilt it?





Below I have some surplus & with being busy & having a few projects on the go I know I'm not going to use them.

I'm going to give them away :)

Leave a comment in this post, 
Ill leave it open till Sat 28th May 10pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.

please make sure you make a comment with an email address so that I can contact you if you win the fabric.

There have been some beautiful mini quilts and hand made sewing kits on lots of blogs which would look so pretty with these little bits of fabric.




This is it - all together, lots of pretty liberty and Pride & Prejudice fabric

eight 5 X 5 inch squares in Liberty and Text 



 & lots of little mini triangles (around 2.5 inch X 3.5 inch) in Liberty & Text fabric.


Did anyone guess my song reference ?

Go your own way

It's been chilly! Sydney has well and truly started it's descent into winter. Which I actually love - love boots and jackets/ jumpers and warm snuggly nights. Summer has its perks as well, but I still love a chilly day.

I've started to play around with my Pride & Prejudice fabric I designed and printed with SpoonFlower. I've mixed it with my Liberty of London material stash.

 It reminds me of the lovely floor tiles in great old big houses from another era.

 I'm keeping it very stark with a splash of colour in the middle.


not sure how big this one will get - depends on my patience and how it all evolves. I may add a bit more colour as I go.............

I like you not!

Sorry - not true at all, very rude indeed :)



When Pride and Prejudice has been watched in our house this is the saying that sticks - not the lovely statements on humanity or love................. No not in our house. 


"I like you Not!"  


It does make us laugh - our four little Aussie kids stating very kindly their dislike of each other - what parent could want more :)



As you might see I'm back in Sydney after our two weeks up north in Brisbane, We have the Easter long weekend ahead of us to organise and recoup - before we are back to School and routine next week. I have a bit of a list to achieve! both for my own work and school. 

Whilst I was away my package of Fabric arrived that I had been waiting on

Pride & Prejudice Fabric is now available at spoonflower 
I have the range currently in White, Pink and blue. I'm really happy with how it has turned out. This lot has been printed on the cotton canvas fabric.





I have plans for my new Pride & Prejudice Fabric, I'm playing with my beloved Liberty of London stash and hoping to mix it up. 
What better combo! Liberty & Jane Austen :)










So take a peak at my Beaspoke fabric at Spoonflower and when you have it/ make something out of the fabric I'd love to see what you do! 
post it to the BeaSpokes Quilts Flickr group :)

These fabrics will also be added to my Custom Quilt range that can be made to order.

Also don't forget my Classes are starting at Calico & Ivy Balmain soon.
I have to start putting my liberty log cabin together for my teaching sample, thankfully I cut it all up before I left.


Lots to catch up on over the next week - I'll keep you all posted

Enjoy your Easter weekend where ever you are

Xx Siobhan
