Delightful Things....

I am so excited to have my first finish and new pattern for 2017!

"Delightful Things" is my first pattern that includes felted wool applique and I just love using this method....I think I will have to do more!

Made with scraps from my stash for the hexagons nothing has gone to waste!

I made good use of all of those tiny little bits that I just can't bear to throw away.

And there is a surprise on the inside.....

I just couldn't stop!

Pattern and kits are available now on the website...

Miss Elizabeth

Thought I would share with you two lovely images of "Miss Elizabeth" at different stages of production.
Helen and Robyn were both searching for additional fabrics for this project and found their choices yesterday whilst participating in the shop hop.

Helen above, opted for a lovely dark blue for her final border to showcase her 6 pointed fussy cut stars,

and Robyn chose a lovely silvery green as her final border.
Can't wait to see them finished.

La Belle Fluer fabric by French General

Welcome,

What a lovely surprise today to find the latest French General fabric by Moda.....

"La Belle Fleur" perched on my doorstep.

Opening the box with much enthusiasm I wasn't disappointed at the beautiful teal, french blue and reds just wishing me to get started on another project. Wonderfull birds and florals for quilt centres or border prints to fussy cut.....something to tempt all who looks upon them.

Alas I have nothing in mind for this fabric at the moment but you possibly might when you take a peek!

Miss Elizabeth

I thought I would keep everyone upto date with the new quilt on the block....."Miss Elizabeth".
She and I have been patiently getting ourselves together....524 hexagons of various size, 82 honeycomb shapes and 279 various 6 pointed star diamonds and of course there was lots and lots of fussy cutting.

Miss Elizabeth

 

Throughout the process of the quilt I made myself use mostly fabrics that I had stashed away (and there was lots) and to also view some of those fabrics differently when looking to fussy cut them. It was also quite demanding to use fabric that I didn't have a great fondness for and also to only use fabrics once in each row.

I think this may be my favourite

Or is it this one!

 

As usual I can't seem to stay away from those lovely cherry pink colours so I definitely don't think my son will be asking for this labour of love.
Being that it has just taken me 4 hours to write the pattern, and that is just the first draft as I always check my patterns several times before printing, and no diagrams are yet in place, the whole process from devising the product, making the quilt and then getting the pattern out to you is like watching a slow growing tree giving its all!

Oh yes and then there is the hand quilting to come!

So hopefully, "Miss Elizabeth" will be out there for all to enjoy in the next 8 weeks or so.....fingers crossed.
