Liberty Love

And now for a closer look...

As usual, I'm in love.  These Liberty tana lawns are so good I just want to eat them up.  The colours (muted greys, which are not at all my usual choice), the definition in the prints, and of course, the softness...  Just beautiful.

I picked these up online from Calico and Ivy.

And now, for a further peak at my Anna Maria Horner "Innocent Crush" project:

Pinned and ready for quilting.  Now to decide: to hand quilt or not to hand quilt.  These fabrics certainly are deserving, but time is a real issue for me with a beautiful 10 month old baby girl to care for, a demanding part-time job, lots of study to do and a busy household to run. :-)

I tried some hand quilting on this quilt during the week with regular hand quilting cotton, as opposed to Perle cotton, and my lack of experience was so much more visible with the thinner thread.  Maybe I will stick with Perles!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sneak Peak

Well, the postman delivered, so to speak, and I wanted to show you my new goodies!

Miss Modd set of fat quarters from Fabricworm

Cloth Australia's Workcloth in "raw" (cotton-linen blend) from Duckcloth

Now I'm just waiting on my Jay McCarroll (yes, the guy who won Project Runway with his patchwork inspired fashion collection a few years ago) fabrics from Fabricworm and some Liberty of London Tana Lawn from Calico and Ivy.

And now, for a sneak peak of another of my current projects using the GORGEOUS Anna Maria Horner Innocent Crush Voiles I blogged about recently...

As you can see, I've combined the raw workcloth with the voiles for what I think is a pretty lovely effect.  This piece is an improvisational piece inspired by the amazing work going on a Victoria's other blog - 15 minutes play.

Have a great weekend dear reader!
