Sew after my lovely long bob this morning I am not going anywhere but into the cave and sew with the Air Con on…
I have found the fabrics I will use for my 2nd project at SAL.
while in Perth my DD found a lovely range of fabrics on special ( The Orange and Blues ) and has challenged me to a Quilt Off. We both have a 1/2mt of each fabric with 3mts for the backing. We can add ONE solid colour if we wish. Will be interesting to see what we both make…
The other fabrics and cottons just hopped into my bag ???
Yesterday this lovely Cushion Cover and Thread catcher, made out of great sewing fabric, arrived in the mail from Carmen for the “Cushion Swap” that was run by swap Mum Sue. A big thank you to both ladies.

LOL! and we're staying in today because it's too cold out! I love your idea of a Quilt-Off with DD. At a reatreat I attended a couple of years ago, two friends brought the same fabric and they made two beautiful quilts, that couldn't have been more different! Have fun.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you have the perfect place to create out of that heat.
ReplyDeleteLovely orange and blues, like others I look forward to seeing this one come together.
Nice SAL project fabric selection.
Stay cool.
Nasty weather! Good that you have the air con. Love the blues & oranges and a challenge is always fun. I spy that beautiful yellow background fabric with the Australian animals - I have some of that too - and a few others from the range. They are lovely. So many things to do - I really want to do some QAYG blocks too - just can't seem to get there.
ReplyDeleteOh my--I really need to trace off the embroidery panel for the front of the tote for the sal tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeletelove how yours came out--I still am trying to decide on the color for mine????? love the other things you got in the mail and that you are working on--it's cold and icy here--

A quilt off! I'm looking forward to what the two of you come up with. I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset in your header. 40 degrees is HOT! Love the new fabrics you bought.
ReplyDeleteYour right it's been such a hot weekend, I spent Saturday indoors switching at the Patch and today i'mstitching at home. Love your little blue quilt and good luck with your Orange and Blue challenge, they are great fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThose hot days are a wonderful excuse to create in climate controlled comfort. Ditto our excessively cold and stormy ones. Your quilt off colours are awesome, and the sewing notions fabric delish. Keep cool, and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt off iwa with your daughter. That's going to be fun.
