Freebird

Last year when I went to the Quilt Festival in Birmingham I bought a charms pack from the 'Freebird' collection from Moda not knowing really what to do with it. Those little squares were laying in my house forever giving me a hard time. I felt they were staring at me accusatory that I wasn't doing anything productive with them. So I thought I lay them out and have a look and then .........I packed them away again and so on.



The other day I gave myself a kick and lay them out again. Just before I thought of binning the whole lot I added some Kona white and then it started to look a bit more promising. Phew..... I hate when I am lacking any kind of inspiration. Hopefully this will take me somewhere creative after all. It's Friday morning and this has been an awful week, really. I can't wait for tonight and the beginning of a creative weekend. I have to finish the Brit Swap quilt and the 'Laugh and Happiness' quilt for my mother. As they say no rest for the wicked.


Happy sewing everybody.

    I love Freebird - especially those blenders - I had a layer cake and it was going to be hexagon park until I managed to get my mitts on some Sherbet Pips for it!

    Oh love that fabric. Does it come in a Jelly Roll? It's exactly what I'm looking for but I'm finding it hard to source jelly rolls from here. Jxo

    We have my Freebird on the sofa to use everyday - I used a wide strip of the big print yardage on the back, and I still love seeing it.

Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
