dancing matryoshka

24 May 2013


I finished my quilt for Cindy to display at a quilt festival next month.
The pattern is a smaller version of Dancing Daisies.

My photos were all bombed by my little girl, I think because she loves the quilt!





The fabrics are all from Fluffy Sheep Quilting:

Little Matryoshka
Essex Linen in Natural
Kona in Plum for the back and binding




Hand quilted using DMC perle cotton no.8

colours: 601, 740, 996



I loved the process of making this quilt and thanks to Cindy for trusting me to create something for her and for having such a great shop with beautiful, modern fabric.





oh and I just realised this is a check off my FAL list! yeah!
she can quilt

Little 1.5" squares, take that!! Fourth attempt at this block and it's not so shabby, not perfect but that's as good as I can get and I'm happy! I hope Kerry will like it!



I'm still hand quilting for Cindy of Fluffy Sheep Quilting (all these lovely fabrics and perle thread are available in her shop!), just one flower left to do and some blue stitching on the edges and then on to binding:





I'm also working on a new project - a tie for my son to wear at my sister's wedding at the end of the month. I wasn't sure what fabric to use but I won this Kona Modern Quilts bundle from Marmalade Fabrics and I decided to be brave and steal this one out of the bundle since I think it would make a really cute tie!


Oh and I have my dress (matron of honour, don't cha know!), it is stunning, and you will definitely see pictures of it on the blog next month - I may crop my face out of it but the dress is divine!!

Lastly the theme for Le Challenge this month is MARITIME. Check out the blog and start working on your projects to link up on June 15th and be in with a chance of winning a $20 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop!
