A Potpourri of Goodies

Hello one and all, and welcome to my new followers; I do hope you enjoy your visit with me and thank you for leaving me your pleasing messages of encouragement and support - I do appreciate your valuable time!

Last post I mentioned that there was something else I'd made but couldn't show you yet as it would  spoil a surprise - well, the gift has been happily received now so here is a quick peek:




A little wall hanging for a baby due a wee bit later in the year, and not knowing whether the little one will be boy or girl I tried to cover all bases with colour choices.The second pic below shows the placket on the back which will accommodate a rod yet not be seen when the quilted piece is hanging on the wall. It really was fun putting this little piece together and I'm happy that the baby's Mum is delighted with it.



I'm still dragging out the birthday - you may remember me showing a lovely piece of fabric that was part of Hannapat's  gift to me? Okay, well, it made up into a lovely cushion that pleases me no end: thanks again lovely Hannapat!



Isn't it a gorgeous cheery thing! And look how well it goes with my 'round the colour wheel' blanket too! Jo kindly mentioned that it is an Amy Butler fabric, thanks Jo!




Yesterday I felt like making another 'Kate' dress but hadn't shopped for fabric! Anyway, I had picked up a remnant the previous week to add to quilting stash - at a bargain price of $5 - not even considering that it might be enough to make something to wear, in fact hadn't even thought the fabric was my sort of thing .. to wear?!!! Anyway, I pulled it out, measured it up and realised there was enough to make the dress, only a bit shorter - in other words, a top! I always was rather careful when cutting out fabrics whilst dressmaking and practice paid off .. .. ..  what do you think?




Hubby reckoned it would look good with a scarf wrapped around my neck - yeah, I know, that's not my neck but it gives you an idea of how it would look anyway .. we're back to winter here again and I'm not posing ..




That's enough for makes isn't it! How about a few pics of our neighbourhood again? Okay ..


These were all taken from the same spot, about five minutes drive from home. We are very fortunate to have areas like this where we can go and sit quietly and be at peace, don't you think?


That's about it again folks, and I hope you've enjoyed your little visit - just a few shots from the garden this week .. ..



This is the most gorgeous deep red rose - I don't know it's name, it was here before us and is quite matured, and below are a few little looks at the hibiscus again, a young hebe, and the South African plant whose name I've forgotten again, again, again!!! 




Last but not least, this is another lovely mature rose that was also here before us and it's the most beautiful orange/red colour .. ..



See you all next time lovelies, and in the meantime keep well and be happy!

With my love,

Joy xo

  3. Well you have been busy on your sewing machine, Joy. So many lovely fabrics too and a beautiful wall hanging for a new baby! That deep red rose is just wonderful - it almost looks velvety. Many flowers are still growing in your garden in winter! How do you do that?!
    I appreciate the bigger-sized writing in this post! ;)

    1. Hello Sandra, thanks for being here! That rose IS so velvety I can hardly believe it, and so big too. To cap it off it has the most gorgeous perfume as well. I think the flowers bloom in spite of us sometimes, but really, the bushes are pruned regularly and they just keep coming on: we are most fortunate! xoJoy

  4. Dear Joy
    What fabulous makes! I really love your top - I keep seeing this pattern in Blogland and one day I shall have to give in and treat myself, although I have two other patterns that I really must get on with first...Also, I need to start simply as I am a beginner in the clothes making department. You do inspire me though...
    Your plants are looking beautiful too.
    Have a lovely rest of the week.
    Best wishes

  5. I can't believe you still have so much beauty in your garden in winter Joy beautiful pictures! I have a lovely old fashioned tea rose with the most gorgeous huge cerise flowers and a lovely scent it looks very much like the first one in your picture, it hasn't got a single bud on it yet so I'm hoping it will bloom for me this year. I love the wall hanging what a lovely gift so much love has gone into the detail no wonder it was so well received and your top looks perfect in that lovely fabric. Have a lovely day :) xx

    1. Hello Linda, thank you for your kind message! Perhaps we take our winter garden for granted - there seem to be blooms somewhere or another most of the time. Your rose does sound like ours, perfume as well - a real beauty and I hope it blooms well for you again.

    1. Hi Amanda, lovely to hear from you again, and thank you! I must admit to being quite surprised that the fabric worked out so well for the top - I just really needed to make it right there and then and thought at the time if I don't like it I'm sure someone out there will be happy to have it. Have a great weekend, it's almost here again! xoJ

    1. Thank you Alison, I really loved every moment of making that little project!
      The 'Kate' pattern is really great and I'm sure once you have it you'll make it over and over again, so it's also economical. Of course for me it was a fabulous win, aren't I fortunate!

    1. Hello Sam - I am happy you like the pics, I'm loving the new camera and its capabilities. Starting in on dressmaking again after quite a long break has been easy with the Kate pattern, Sam. I still struggle a lot with the free-form and keeping the stitch length even, so practice is definitely the 'in' thing here. Have a great weekend lovely, xoJoy

  11. All of your sewing makes are so lovely Joy. I am sure that the hanging will make a wonderful addition to the babies nursery, and the top will be lovely to wear either in summer alone (well, with trousers or something!) and in the winter with a top underneath. I think that making the fabric from Hannapat into a cushion is a lovely idea, you can keep it and cherish it that way! So lovely to hear from you. xx

    1. Amy, many thanks, you're always so kind!
      Haha, yes, I probably will wear trousers or 'something' under the top, otherwise I might start a trend that would not be a good look! Every time I cuddle the cushion I'll be thinking of Hannapat - a lovely thing to do don't you think, xoJoy

    Another lovely post full of lovely things.
    Really like your wall hanging and I think your right the colours are perfect for a boy or a girl.
    Your cushion is lovely! really striking print your material was such a lovely present.
    I absolutely love your 'kate' dress its great...I really want to make one but I'm not sure I'd manage it, a bit more practice needed I think.
    What a lovely neighbourhood you live in I think your very fortunate indeed.

      I'm happy you like everything I've been occupied with and I think you would manage the 'Kate' dress, no problem. The pattern includes a booklet with simple clear instructions and is for beginners. The pattern itself is in good quality paper and once you've worked out your size it really is easy peasy - and you'll re-use it countless times, I'm sure of it .. .. go on, give it a go FB! Happy peaceful days to you, xoJoy

  18. Well,well,well.....look at you with your super creative juices running rampant. :-) Your photography is just beautiful, capturing the essence of the scene you feel the calm of the landscape and the texture of the rose is to die for. The sewing is delightful, I too have been taught by my mother to be frugal when cutting fabric, but just lately I have been generous in the amount purchased.....oh well scrappy quilts for ever!! It's been great to peek into your world again, thank you for the blog where I can come and see inspiration. Xx

  23. what a gorgeous little mini - love the spiral quilting. was it done by hand? I love the Kate top too, that fabric is perfect for a top. Funnily enough, the blog that came up before yours in my reader featured a Kate dress! If you're interested: http://gillymakes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/a-fine-fabulous-fabric-filled-day.html

    1. Hello Wendy, the spirals are 'free-motion-quilting' on my sewing machine (with the feed dogs down) - it takes a fair bit of practice but worth the effort although I still have some trouble at times keeping the stitch length uniform …. practice, practice …. I am glad you like the little piece. It was thoughtful of you to include the link, thank you - I have been a follower of the lovely Gilly for quite some time now and in fact won the Kate pattern in Gilly's giveaway a little while ago: wasn't I fortunate! Have a lovely weekend, xoJoy

Yes, it is indeed winter over here and although we think we're suffering a bit with cold and stormy weather it is relatively mild, especially compared to your harsh winters over there: hence the garden still looks reasonable throughout, so long as regular pruning etc. is carried out.

You should feel really proud and that quilting, wow very impressive! As for your cushion as mentioned in my email, I really love what you have done with it. Yes Jo is right it is Amy Butler and you have really done it proud, it looks so beautiful. Now on to the dress, well dare I say that you have yet again outdone yourself, it is so so lovely and I just love the material, its so earthy and definitely 'chic'!!! I agree with hubby, it will look fabulous with a scarf around your neck. I love the detail on the pockets, they are so beautifully stitched too. One thing is for sure you are definitely riding your crafting mojo!! As always lovely to see what you have been up to, apologies if I have been a little absent. Thanks for bringing a little sparkle into my day though. Sending you much love and big hug!! xoxo
