For my DQS5 quilt I was inspired by a lovely customer at Amitie who brought in a much larger version she had made for her family.
I wanted to do a linen and red quilt. Well actually this is a really great cotton version of linen which I absolutely love using for all sorts of things.
Bit by bit I developed each little section of the quilt. Ideas came from magazines, my creative 8 year old Chloe, the quilt I saw at work and from bits and pieces I had floating about.
I am hugely pleased with the result and hope my partner likes it. This one I had trouble parting with!!
So luckily I was distracted by the arrival of my quilt and WOW it's absolutely beautiful!
The colours are so very pretty and the design and construction just amazing! Thanks so much Lucinda I LOVE it and it will be going up on the wall in my daughters' bedroom after we repaint after Christmas. Go and have a look here at all her other gorgeous quilts.
We have enjoyed putting up the Christmas Tree this week and added some new ornaments. How cute is this!
And look what I picked up last Friday.
And if you are desperate to get started on another little quilt swap, the Four Season's Quilt Swap has popped up again. It's slightly different this time but I can't resist the challenge. Can you?
