Quiet long weekends...add a dash of rain to stop lawn mowing and you have the perfect recipe for a bit of stitching! There has not been a lot of fabric play lately, so that is just what I did today!
Finished this months Le Petite quilt, Brocante. Fairly unoriginal this time and made it in Pom Pom de Paris the same as the cover pic. But I thought the fabric is perfect for Mum and the pattern was cute. Whilst I am happy with the finished top, it was probably my least favourite as I stitched it up...don't know why really...perhaps I just loved Endless Summer last month SO much, and the fabrics are not to my current taste...anyway, I think Mum will love it. I have a lap quilt planned for her in these fabrics too...obviously she doesn't read my blog!
To add some cheer to a dull day I started playing with some fabrics I love to make something that looks very different to the original model. Still have a bit of applique today so will be a little while before I reveal it...a hint...it is an Anni Downs pattern I bought at Nundle. Hmmm?
Better go...these books are telling me I have an assignment that needs attention!

Your Mum should love your latest creation. Don't study too hard.
I bet your Mom will love that quilt.
that happens to me to sometimes I make a quilt thinking I am going to love it and then when its done I have no attachment to it, makes it easier to give it away!
good luck studying

Lucky mum - it's beautiful! Doesn't it make the going harder to sew in fabrics not your favourites. I am determined to use up some stash but so many are no longer to my taste. Perservering as I know the end result will be great regardless - then I can buy new fabric. Tracee xx

Oooh it's very pretty! Our attachment to quilts is a funny thing...sometimes they grow on you, and some are just destined to give away :)

I love the quilt and so will your Mom. The fabrics are really pretty.
Well it may not be your favorite but I love it and I know your Mum will too! If I needed any more fabric (and I don't) Pom Pom de Paris would be my choice at the moment!
Congratulations on completing Brocante!! It's gorgeous! I almost made mine in Pom Pom too! It was so tempting because it looks so pretty in that pattern. Your mum will love it!
You're mum's quilt turned out lovely! It's so nice to have a finish! Hope your assignment is going well! Cheers!
Gorgeous peek at your H&P project! Love the small quilt/table topper you are making for your mum, just beautiful! The books look like a lot of work...though it will be satisfying in the long run.
Congrats on finishing Brocante - your mum will love it. Gotta love american jane!
