I'm Thrilled/What Next??

I'm thrilled!!!  Colour Shot won favourite in the Pieced Quilt Category, in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival this year.  This quilt was a joy to work on, from beginning to end. 

Thanks so much, to all of you, that took the time to vote and most of all a huge thank you to Amy, for putting on such a wonderful event. 

There were so many truly amazing quilts, in the festival.....I'm honoured that Colour Shot was one of the winners.

What to work on next??? 


I always feel a little lost after a large project....not quite sure what to tackle next and what direction to take.

This amazing block from Penny of Sewtakeahike arrived last week.....meaning all my Free Bee Blocks are here!!!!!


Time to start playing......

Bloggers Quilt Festival

Can you believe it, another Bloggers' Quilt Festival is underway. You'll want to check this out, as so many bloggers enter their amazing quilts, in the festival. It's a wonderful feast for the eyes and a terrific opportunity to be introduced to  more quilter's and their fabulous blogs...what could be more exciting than that.

I finished Colour Shot,  just in the  nick of time to enter it in the festival.

Why did I start this quilt....Lynne asked if I would be willing to make a quilt using the Oakshott Cottons and blog about it??? Would I be willing???? Well of course, I'd be willing.

Quilt Back

When this beautiful bundle of Oakshott Cottons arrived at my door, mid March, I became totally obsessed with immersed in this project. 

Some Improvising....

Some inset circles

A few appliqued strips

A little QAYG....
and there you have it.

 I've flooded my blog with my progress, over the last few months and have been motivated, by so many supportive comments along the way. This is the first totally solid quilt I've ever made, but I don't think it will be my last.
