Swooning and beyond

I have two projects on the go with the Swoon pattern from Camille Roskelly. One making the 24" blocks in Happy Mochi Yum Yum and a red background and a 12" version in browns and duck egg blues. One bright and cheerful, the other elegant and subtle (my middle names!).

This weekend I completed my fourth 24" block in white and green. This is my favourite colour combo so far.

And this is the fourth (and final) of the 12" blocks. I've got some ideas for sashing and then this will be a wall hanging for our bedroom.


Earlier this week, Katie, who got me into this Swoony mess with her Flickr group announced some ideas for the next quilt along. There are two options, both patterns by Camille: On a Whim or Hopscotch. On a Whim uses fat quarters, Hopscotch uses a jelly roll. I think I'll do both. But first I really need to finish my Swoony projects!

Your swoon blocks are beautiful. I am jumping in the deep end with Hopscotch and doing it in Bliss. On a Whim is on my to-do list when I can get my hands on a FQ bundle of Vintage modern :o)

I love your Swoony mess, Jennie! I like the subtle wall hanging colors, and I LOVE LOVE the bright colors of Happy Mochi Yum Yum. That is one of my favorites of all time that I've seen! :o) I am in a bit of a Swoony mess myself. LOL

365 Quilt Challenge 2016 [A finish]

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obvious...

Tula Nova [A Finish]

I can't believe it's been nearly two years since an epic day out in Huddersfield with the amazing Tula Pink. That day at Simply Solids was pretty close to the best day ever: a morning lecture by Tula where we got to see some of her quilts - and the amazing quilting by Angela Walters - and then an afternoon workshop with her starting work on the Tula Nova pattern. The centre that I made that day became a cushion, but I redid my centre and kept going with a rainbow or stars around it to create my final Tula Nova. All of the print fabrics are Tula All Stars with Pompoms and Stripes. The solids are all Kona. This was my first real time working with Tula Pink fabrics. I'd long been a fan of her patterns, but not her fabric. After this day I was a convert. We won't discuss how much Tula fabric I now have, nor how many of my current WIPs are Tula WIPs! But this was the start. The medallion is all hand pieced using English Paper Piecing. I learned about fussy cutting to...

All the Little Finishes

 I've had a few recent finishes - mostly smaller pieces and mostly not on my list to finish this year (because I've only just started them!) - lots and lots of pouches! Here's a round up... Three pouches I made for the kids for our holiday - all are the Seamingly Sane Pouch pattern, but I used the pattern add-on to adjust the sizes and customised with some straps and in one case, a pocket. These three pouches are made for our work Yubikeys when we travel to protect them - it's a slightly adjusted Aneela Hooey pattern - the peas are an inside joke! I knew I had pea fabric for a reason! A couple more Seamingly Sane pouches - the smaller one was a birthday present for my Dad, and the floral one was for me to protect my diary when I travel. Seven pouches made entirely from my scraps to hold EPP pieces pre sewing! This is the Peekapouch pattern by Sweet Cinnamon Roses. This is the Not So Little Zippy Pouch by Fabric and Flowers. The pattern is a bit of a challenge, but this ...
