You all know Lynne at Lily’s Quilts, right? My quilting crush on her started when she made this beautiful Penguin Books quilt for her very very lucky sister:
Then, there was this little beauty on the DQS10 swap on flickr (not just for the beauty of the quilt, which I absolutely adore, but also for the hours of hilarity in the discussion groups … you had to be there)
… and then most recently, Lynne made the fab Hexagon Park quilt for Moda Bake Shop, using Aneela Hoey’s fab Sherbet Pips:
Well, now that Lynne is practically quilting royalty the upside is that we have a wonderful QuiltAlong to take part in … see her post here and the Lily’s Quilts flickr group here
I’m s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o excited about this!
- I’ve been dying to try a dresden plate for yonks
- Each block is QAYG (Quilt as You Go) which I’ve also always wanted to do!
- It’s the dreaded circle piecing & there’ll be plenty of people to hold my hand.
- Oh, and did you see that concentric circle quilting? Yup, we’ll be doing that too!
I’m actually only going to do one block, as a mini quilt/cushion [pillow] cover or summat like that … but that’s just because I really don’t have the time to commit to a whole quilt at the moment …
I’ve also always wanted to do a colour wheel, so here are my fabric choices: YAY!
Just what I need! A little colour to take my mind off a stinking head cold and a generally grotty demeanour …
So, if you want to get involved pop on over to Lynne's blog or Lily’s Quilts on Flickr and come join in the fun!
ooooh ... and don't forget you have til midnight Tuesday (UK time) to enter my giveaway for some Flea Market Fancy !!
