Last week was my mums 49th birthday! Do you know what that means? It means I have 51 weeks to make her a 50th birthday quilt! So far I have no idea what I want to make. I don't have a pattern, fabric line or even colour in mind. I am hoping some inspirations comes to me quickly. I am thinking of using some english paper piecing but that is my only thought so far. I have a few vague ideas Mum likes to travel, she has been to Paris, India, Egypt and a few other countries so that's something to think about. This is a wall hanging she got from somewhere. I thought this wall hanging could be some inspiration for colours but I don't know. I am the worlds worst decision maker. Mums bedroom window looks over our country cottage garden so that's an idea too. The problem with mums is they say everything you do is nice so it's tricky knowing what they actually love. xxx ooo
October has been crazy! I started of Blogtoberfest with all these grand plans but it all fizzed out pretty quickly. I have been super busy with sport, craft night, the gym, work and friends and I do not have a night free all week. Tonight I am treating myself to a night in so I thought it would be best to catch up. My phone is not sending photos to my computer anymore and I can't get them off. I don't know how to fix it. I made a bag using this tutorial from clover and violet . It was super easy to make and it looks great. I made mine a little smaller than they did. I am using to to carry around my paper piecing. It is the perfect size. I have joined a siggy swap! It is still open if you want to join. It can be found here . I am planning on using this fabric as I have it in my stash. The swap is for modern fabric only and I know that the Little Apples line came out last year. Is it still modern enough? I am so excited about this swap. The first time...
I have finished my fisrt block for my clover and violet garden steps quilt a long. I should have pressed it before I took the photo. I really like it. It's got my own shakey twist to it. Tomorrow the handstitched class starts at stitched in color . I am super excited!
Good luck with finishing your assignment. Love the block!!
