A Walk in the Forest





I have just completed a quilt top from Kaffe Fassett's book Kaleidoscope of Quilts. To be specific, "Morning Garden Quilt" or "Tapestry Garden Quilt" depending what picture inspires. This is the second one I have whipped up, the other was predominantly Kaffe's fabric. I had started to cut ages ago, way back last year when I started number one, so in my flurry to complete the incomplete, this is the end result. I love the riot of colour, although a little less bright than usual, and the composition of fine Libertys with Amy Butler's bold "Belle" collection.
It has been a release just to go forth and throw a combination of fabrics together which a lot of people may say don't work together, but quilting is personal, and doesn't have to be a precise exercise. So be free and create.

Secret Womens Business






Ok here I am, happy to be back with some secrets.......my stash from the show...ohhhhahhhhhhh. Beautiful Libertys, gorgeous and very cute Megumi Sakakibara Collection, just for the bunny lovers out there, and other bits and pieces. I must admit to absolutely adoring the Megumi Collection with the bunnies, flowers perfect for little girls.

DONE!!!!





Next project please.... This is a completed quilt for my Mother-in-Law's birthday last year...now completed. I have fallen in love with this over and over, its the fabrics, naturally ones I really love, but also the composition. I do apologise for the overall view I couldn't go outdoors as it was raining. But I think you get the idea, Log Cabin with a twist, and bright outlandish colours. I know it will be loved and appreciated so it is time to say goodbye, it's been nice!
Now that I have completed that, I knew I had to overcome another hurdle of this blog. Forever a source of the unknown and what am I doing, how do I get that file (I tried but it didn't work Choc), it seems to have worked out ok today, so hang in there Blogland I'll try and get a little more au fait with the workings of this great thing. Happy Days!
