rainbow log cabin quilt
I'm completely in love with this quilt.
From deciding to do something different (for me), to having fun piecing it and seeing the end result be so cool! I loved each block but even when I laid them out I didn't know if it worked. The grey eyelets from 'Flea Market Fancy' by Denyse Schmidt was the perfect choice for the rainbow blocks and, for me, the final touch that made me fall in love.
There's so many fun little fabric pieces in each colour block and my kids loved pointing them out!
The back is a Jay McCarroll print that I've used before, it's a nice vibrant blue with pink squares.
It is quilted in diagonal straight lines using Aurifil 50wt.
Gotta love the quilty goodness draped on the chair my Nan gave me (which I've re-cushioned and thought about recovering but I've grown to love the vintage shininess of it!).
Sold!

quick WIP
I'm in the flow right now, sewing and quilting whenever I get the chance... so a quick update today.
Bee blocks:
These scrumptious ones, complete with my embroidered siggy block for Nicky
Next up another cool paper pieced block for Janine... good summer holiday task for the kidlet, ripping the paper off the back!
Finally a fun log cabin block for Lisa with some of my favourite scraps.

This eye catching block for Ange - I have to apologise though, she wanted a couple of white 'beams' and I accidently hurriedly sewed them together and made one big white bit!! I'm hoping she's ok with it?!

I've been busy making my improv log cabins too. I think I could do these forever but these will make a nice baby quilt so I'm going to piece them together and have fun looking for backing and binding fabrics!

eyes are smiling
I'm working on some improv log cabins
LOVE making these
I took pictures of my children's eyes. To me they are magical and speak volumes about who they are.
'Windows to the soul' is true.
