Summertime

Now we finally have some Summer I decided to play with summary colours and pulled out this lovely fabric bundle I featured in this stash note. I am most likely also inspired by the colours of the Olympics (no I don't mean the rings but all the great and colourful sports gear the athletes are wearing).

Any of you watching the Olympics ? I already went to the Beach Volley Ball at Horseguards Parade just outside Downing Street which was so much fun. I bet you the PM will have much interrupted sleep over the next weeks. 


This is the Quiltcon colour selection of the cotton couture collection from Michael Miller. I had a look at it the other day and then a feel and then thought that I needed to do something with this luxurious little pack.




So I started cutting and cutting and some more of the same....

 

.... and then sewing and soon had this wonderful colour bunch of HSTs that are glamoring to be made into something outrageously stunning ! (no pressure there....)

  4. I love your string of HSTs. They make me think of the strings of beads that people used to use in place of doors.

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.
