Scrappy Terrain...

Last weekend I went to a Retreat with some Quilting Buddies and had a ball!
I had such a good time I forgot to take any photos so I can only show you I achieved for the weekend.
This started life as a Terrain layer cake.

I matched two layer cake pieces together that contrasted with each other, then I cut each layer cake into a 3.5" and a 6.5" strips and swapped with the matching  piece.

 I did this with all 40 pieces.
I re-matched two contrasting layer cake pieces again, then turned each block 180 degrees,and cut these in Half,
and once again I swapped with the other matching piece.

When happy with the layout I sewed them together.
 The end result is this scrappy look quilt that went together so Quickly.

It is a Fabulous size Quilt but I'm going to wait for the Terrain Yardage to be released and will put some borders on it.
 Then It will be the perfect snuggling size!
My next project was a little slower!
I did a test block of Swoon before I cut into my stash of Fabric. I'm thinking of now doing it in my DS Fabric, but I will wait for the next release due in Spotlight stores at the end of the month!

Wild Thing...

Today I loaded this Quilt on the Gammill and I just had to share with everybody.

This is one of My Favourite Quilt patterns of all time,

 Wild Things by Thimbleblossoms.

I got a little excited when a customer brought this one around to Quilt!

It’s made from Santorini by Moda. So Pretty!

You may remember some of my Wild Thing Quilts

Simple Abundance, Still Not Quilted! 

Birdie 

Tranquility

I can Highly recommend this pattern,

 Super Easy and looks Great no matter what the Fabric!

New BOM...

I've signed myself up for a block of the month, but this time I have been smart and decided to do it raw edge applique.

It is still going to take a long time to finish but no where near the time it would take to do it by hand.

It's called Berries and Bluebirds designed by Gail Pan.

I'm halfway on the First Block and the second has just arrived so I better get a move on!

Summer in Central Park...

The sun is shining as it’s the perfect afternoon to take some photos.

This is my smaller lap version of my Summer Garden quilt

 that is in Issue 6 of Fat Quarterly e-zine Available Here.

I have made this from ½ a layer cake and Yardage. It measures 50” Square so it makes a good size for a Couch Throw.

I used all my favourite colours from Central Park by Kate Spain.

Followers of my blog would know I have a girl crush on her and all of her Fabrics...he he.

Lastly here is my Finished Kaleidoscope Quilt... I’m still lovin’ the Orange!

At Last...

Finally the day has come that I can tell you about 

the Quilt I designed which is in the latest issue

 of Fat Quarterly, the wonderful e-zine for

 Modern Quilters, which goes on sale Soon!

It's called Summer Garden

It’s made from a Verna Layer Cake
 and Yardage, and is a Queen Size Bed Quilt

Make sure you check out Issue 6 Alternative Fabrics,
I've had a look and there are so many
 Amazing projects in this Edition (including mine..he he)

It has been so Hard not sharing this Quilt with you,
as I just Love it and I hope you will too!

Kaleidoscope QAL...Nearly a Finish!

I have finished quilting the Kaleidoscope Quilt, Attached the binding,

Now I just need to sew it down and I will call it a Finish.

YAY!!!!

I used some Triangle scraps in the border to add some interest 

I took this photo at night trying to get the Quilting to show up.

Binding will be finished by Nightfall! 

Promise...

Quilting well underway...

My Kaleidoscope Quilt has made it

to the Gammill and is nearly finished.

I have done a medium stipple in all the orange diamonds,

undecided what to do with the Wild Thyme Blocks as yet.

August deadline is creeping up, but I’m sure it will make it, speaking of Deadlines My (That's right I said My) pattern will be published at the end of the month and the wait will be over and I can show it to you!

Sooo Exciting!

  I’m also Swooning over Ruby... Ain’t she Grand...?
