A new pattern was calling my name, like the mythological sirens singing as I was tied to the mast of the ship... as it headed towards the rocks
Dramatic isn't it lol.
ta da!!
I remember seeing this quilt when I bought the pattern for the Caswell quilt and I kept thinking 'no way I could ever do that'
that is the same thing I said about Caswell the first time I saw it and I conquered that and enjoyed making it so much so I am hoping this one will be just as enjoyable. It is a loo loo measuring 90 inches square but I will conquer it one block at a time!
I have to finish quilting Gossip in the garden before I start but I can still play with the patterns and audition fabrics in the meantime.
Great service from Threadbear! the pattern arrived in two days and as with Caswell, the instructions are great, lots of pictures and actual sized charts for the applique. Excellent!
Those little hexies from my previous post got made up and have joined the stash of okehampton flowers.
these four flowers were from a strip of the border fabric that was extra. Love how different cutting has different effects.
Roll on Easter and the joys of school holidays!!
I have so earnt them...... and if I work hard I may get to spend time with Mary Brown too.
Happy easter everyone
Marina
