Zoom to Swoon

Have completed all eight Swoon blocks in red and black and gosh they look good - very wonky as I am not an exact quilter - but I am happy with them and the pattern really is amazing as it looks so different depending on what your fabric choice is.

A sad place

Theresa said to me recently that her blog was a happy place and I absolutely agree - but this most recent quilt is from a sad place - I made this quilt for my darling brother James. It is my quilt for him

The best spot

I was thinking that I needed another red patterned fabric for my latest G project and look what I found at Umbrella Prints.
So lovely. So red.

Cherry Baby

My first ever string quilt for Cherry - the wonderful artist who has convened the coral reef project which opens tonight - looking forward to seeing what 1000 crotchet galls can do. But here is my Cherry Baby Quilt

Another past quilt

I think I first called it lazy Katie's as i thought you could do log cabin without an iron -  hence the lazy - boy was I wrong. But it ended up being a birthday present for a friend of mine as it was the perfect colours for her. I am so glad she liked it

What a WIP

As is often the case looking through my photos have found some photos of a quilt I have yet to even mention this one is one I am still mulling over - My Lotus Maverick Star with some Amy Butler grey

New Red and Black aka HF

Like my sewing buddy Theresa at Sew and Sews I have been having lots of fun with putting together my new quilt. It is using the reds and blacks I picked up in Melbourne back in May and I have a plan that it will be for G. Complicated patterns are not really my thing, as to tell the truth ,I am a bit sloppy when it come to exact corners etc. But this one is fun once your get your head around it and does look gorgeous when finished. Happy to finally use my red Amy Butler Lotus dots and circles - it must be the most fussy cut pattern in blog land and I am following suit.   Here is the fabric - block photo to come
