Tilda Angel Plum Party!

 And More Kaffe Fassett!

I thought I had seen enough of Kaffe Fassett for a while! But this very pretty top pieced by Barbara from Connecting Threads made me think again. OK, so there was a lot of pink in it, albeit very bright, but I liked the contrasting colours of purple and aqua. 

And I loved how it was set against the grey border. So clever and original. I needed some hot pink thread so I dashed over to Pinhole Quilting to try some Glide Thread for the first time. 

I came away with nearly 30 different colours and more than £100 lighter! 

My favourite feathers again!

 

Next up was this lovely little nursery quilt. Another one by Jean S. 

There was plenty of open space to play in. So I echoed around the animals and filled in the borders with double bubbles.

 

So sweet and fresh!

 Then at last, I found the time to make a whole quilt from start to finish. This one is straight out of the Tilda book. 

For once, I followed the pattern exactly! I even had to buy Tilda fabrics online because I didn't have any mauves.

It was for a special little girl's birthday.

 But she's only just four years old and it's almost big enough to fill her little bedroom. 

She'll grow into it!

I bought a plain blue fabric as close to the one in the book as I could. 

Plain fabric can look a bit flat so I quilted it to death  emulating the style of the original. 

It was a good opportunity to practice and experiment. Lots of pictures!!

And village life - well it's great! I've already been recruited into the WI. The first thing I got involved with was this appliqued banner for the Christian Arts Festival. I just need to get them into quilting!

Happy Quilting Everyone - Stay safe and keep cheerful!
