A little bit 'Vintage Modern'

As promised I want to share a few sneak peeks of my new quilt 'Flipped'.  It is now with my wonderful quilter and I am so excited to see what it turns out like (Sarah always does a fantastic job!).

It was made from a jellyroll of Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille for Moda although I did split the jellyroll so I could also make a cot sized version later.  I got my jellyroll from here before Sarah also had them!

Don't you just love it when fabric collections play nicely together?!  I LOVE Bonnie and Camille's fabric ranges- Bliss, Ruby and now Vintage Modern and they were so kind to match the colours so well so we can mix the fabrics from each of the collections.   

Unfortunately Vintage Modern is not available by the meter (in yardage) yet so I had to select a different fabric than I had planned for the border.  This was not all bad because I was very fortunate to have enough excess Bliss fabric set aside in my stash (from a UFO - Jayne's Love in Bliss) that I could use for the borders. 

I also added a few fabrics from Umbrella Prints that I just love!  This quilt is set to go on our bed (eventually) and I am working on including 4 different sizes in the pattern.

So I hope you like my little peeks - fingers crossed the pattern will be ready for release at the Australian Quilt Market in Sydney (a trade show).
 

My Wonderful Quilter.

Have you been to see my wonderful quilter yet?  Not only does she do fantastic quilting but she has a shop that sells a wonderful range of pre-cuts, Theodora Cleave buttons and a large collection of patterns.  Right now she is having a sale on Clares Place patterns and with your purchase of any three Clares Place pattern you will get a 4th Clares Place Pattern for FREE by sending Sarah a quick email.  Pretty neat hey?!  You have until this afternoon Monday morning to finalise purchases so be quick! 

And before I go off to do some last minute Christmas shopping here is Rubies for Grandma quilted by Sarah .  It is made in the very popular Ruby fabric that she has available in a charm packs and off the bolt (looks like the jellyroll has sold out AGAIN! :s )

Introducing ... Bunting Bliss

I am super excited to introduce the first of many new patterns to be released over the next month.

Meet 'Bunting Bliss'. 

This was designed quite some time ago (way back when Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey fabric was released) but in the process of being made the design was changed as it was not coming together as I had envisioned.  With a few modifications it came together better than I had hoped.  I am really happy with the finished design of this quilt and am so glad I made the changes to the top feature panel because now I wouldn't have it any other way. 

 

Bunting is a stylish way to decorate and is very versatile, it has been incorporated into this quilt design to make a smart tactile quilt for girls and boys alike to enjoy.  The pattern includes instructions for adding an optional border to make a slightly larger version of the quilt if desired.’

I hope you like this quilt as much as I do!  Stay tuned for more pattern releases and sneak peeks
