Happy cars!

Hi all,

My “Happy Cars” quilt is off to give some little boy a much needed quilty hug, as Christine so nicely put it!

 
I made the quilt top a while ago, it just needed the right opportunity to be finished and set free.

The cute little cars are screenprinted by my SIL Debbie from Jump Creations.  The border fabric and the green and blue fabric on the back are also hand-dyed by Debbie too.

I really love the look of a pieced back!

My favourite colour for the car is the black one, but they look so cute all together!

Unfortunately, I cannot say that my real car is happy anymore. I crashed it this morning taking TP to school. He never got to school, we never even got out onto the road. That is the worst part, and maybe the best part, it happened in our driveway…..anyway TP and I are not hurt physically, maybe a little shook up though. But the smash repair guy thinks the car will be written off because it will cost more to fix than the car is worth. I could kick myself, where is Michael J. Fox and his time machine when I need him!

So that is what has been happening here today….the good, the bad and the ugly!

Screen printed cars quilt

So I have finally put together the quilt top that has been hogging my design wall for the last couple of months. Has it really been that long?!? I'd say so...


The little cars are designed and screen printed by my sister-in-law Debbie, who is starting up her own business doing screen printing and dyeing. The outside border is also her dyed fabric.
The cars are so cute, really happy looking!


This was achieved despite the heat today, 36'C, with no air-con in my house, I was really working in my own little sweat-shop!

Now to the next thing on my list - a present for my folks anniversary! I only have about a week, plus I desperately need to do some work on my JC Quilt-along blocks.

Stay cool, Jessica!
