Bev's take on a Bullseye Quilt

By
I love the Bullseye patchwork pattern. Next year, the quilters at The Craft Group are going to do a group bullseye challenge. I have made a few quilts with this pattern and loved doing them. (I'll do more of a feature on the pattern later in the year).
Bev saw one of my bullseye projects and asked to borrow the pattern. My squares were cut into 4 (at right angles) but Bev made the design her own by cutting each square diagonally in half. You will have to wait for my future post for this to make sense!


Bev made this quilt for her daughter, Kaitlin.
She called it "Garden on flowers".

The block placement in my bullseyes are totally random. Here in Bev's quilt, she has done clever things with colour and tone. Bev has a knack of taking any project and giving it a bit of extra 'wow' factor. You wait 'til I show you her $7 calico bear!

On another note. We all have busy days and weeks but sometimes there is a huge deadline for certain things to be done. I am having one of them now. Wait until you see what I am doing next week! eek!

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b

Lantern making... a craft for kids

By

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
