Just in the nick of time.....

This little cutie arrived yesterday just in time for me to organise all the provisions for the quilt I am making this weekend at the quilting retreat. I was amazed it arrived so quickly from the USA. I ordered it (from here on sale for $16 US!) on Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday. How incredible is that! It is from the Moda Bake Shop by April Cornell and the fabric is called Spring Magic. I think it will be lovely in the "Triple Irish Flower Quilt" I have planned. Lots of pretty pinks and greens and, of course, roses.
This is another quilt on the go from the "Darla" range of fabrics by Tanya Wheelan. I love the brighter pallet of these fabrics.
And here is the Stacked Coins Quilt, I started ages ago from my scraps, pinned and ready to be quilted on the weekend.
And here is something actually finished and in the Etsy shop now....The Princess Cushion- Rose.
I have so many things planned for the weekend, I hope I can get at least one thing finished to show you....in between the laughing, talking and carrying on I expect to be going on....

Quilt...

I have been surrounded by quilters lately....and you know what?

These "quilty people" have hijacked my every thought for a few days now....

so much so that I began this on the weekend......

Yep, I have begun a quilt. Yes you heard me, a fair dinkum, dinky die quilt.

I decided to make it for my Grandmother for Christmas......

(I know some of my family read my blog so please DO NOT say anything or there will be trouble...)
I have made 9 blocks already with this one being the central one.
I never thought I would say it... but I think I am beginning to like quilting!!!!
Maybe these "quilty people" have good reason to be so obsessed.
Wish me luck...
