And I am really excited about this new, long term, project! Michelle has very kindly shared her notes for her Wings and Pretty Things quilt which is full of gorgeous applique and EPP.
These gorgeous fabrics arrived this week which I plan to use for all the applique. They are from a range called Rue 1800 by 3 Sisters for Moda. Just as lovely in real life as they were on the website where I spotted them.
So I got straight in and made the centre Dresden for the quilt - I just need to stitch the centre circle down.
Next up, some applique flowers.
In other news this week I have sent off my swap hexies for the month
and I have been busy quilting my Red Manor House. Having completed the narrow blue border, I am now working on the flower and flower pot blocks.
Its been a cold week here with heavy rain yesterday and the valley is flooded again. But things are looking brighter and warmer for next week thank goodness.
Have a good week.
Lin, your new fabrics for your Wings and Pretty Things' quilt are lovely. This is such a beautiful quilt. The quilting on your Red Manor House is coming along nicely.
