PATCHWORK GIFTS - book tour

My dear friend Elise is celebrating the release of her first book, Patchwork Gifts with Tuva Publishing.

With 20 projects to choose from it became a little hard to pick just one to make.  I had narrowed it down to the adorable mushrooms on the cover and the Eco Friendly Snack Bags and the bags won.

The snack bags are a super quick project to make. It probably took me longer to pick the fussy cuts for the front!

 My Miss L made this yummy Brownie just in time for the photos :)

If you would like to meet the other makers on the book tour please visit Elise's blog HERE. You can also find all the details of how to join in and play BINGO to win some fantastic prizes.

                

Patchwork Gifts is now available for pre order at all quality book stores, Amazon, Book Depository etc. and it is a lovely addition to any book shelf.

Congratulations on you first book Elise and thank you for allowing me 

to join in on the book tour fun xx

FRESH FAT-QUARTER QUILTS| penelope quilt

Welcome to my day on the Fresh Fat-Quarter Quilts Book Tour.  Fresh Fat-quarter Quilts is the new book by Andy Knowlton for Martingale, featuring 12 fat-quarter friendly quilts.

This book is beautifully presented with a great assortment of quilts to suit anyone. So if you have 6FQ or 14FQ sitting on your desk that you love but are not sure what to do with, I recommend that you take a look at this book.

To celebrate the release of Andy's book I decided to make the 'Penelope Quilt' using my Bonnie and Camille stash.

Once upon a time I would have not made a quilt with so many HST's but the laser light on my Brother machine (Innovis VQ3000) takes away the need to mark my HST. I can just pair my fabric and stitch! Add in some chain piecing and it all starts to come together rather quickly.

I have a navy Bonnie and Camille floral picked out for the binding.

I do apologise for the yellow photos but with a week of a sick Miss L, a washing machine giving up on me and now Miss K getting sick and then rain this afternoon, I have given up on an outside photo for the time being. Maybe I will try again after I quilt this one.

And .......... because a photo shoot can't happen in my house without a little photo bombing!

"Hello from Elly and Anakin."
