A work in progress and another giveaway

Well, tis the time of the year to give..... This time the giveaway comes courtesy of the lovely Tina who owns my local quilt shop Tikki.
Tikki is so local that it takes me only 3 Minutes to get there. You could say way too local for the wallet. So you find me there most Saturdays for a chat with Corinne, Alison or Tina.

Tina gave me a fabric pack of Mod Century a week ago and I was totally smitten with it. This was just the fix I needed after the Liberty marathon. A burst of colour that got my brain bubbling right away. Aren't these colours gorgeous; the oranges paired with aqua and grey, just to die for.


And the best thing is that some of the prints have text as a background. Isn't that just fabulous ?



 So I put my thinking cap on and started planning. Soon I pulled out more and more text fabrics some neutral solids, some coloured solids and started stitching log cabin blocks.


I find piecing log cabin blocks very therapeutic. This little beauty here is waiting to be quilted and I can't wait to get on with it this week.

Stash Note 61

Added to the stash this week were these beauties here. First of two fat quarters bought across the road at Tikki. The wonderful grey sewing pattern print is from Vintage Notions from 'Red Rooster Fabrics' and the thread fabric 'Sew Happy' from Monaluna.




And those three prints below were bought at Sew Mama Sew in the SALE !. Left is the stripy number I already used in my "When Lucy met Daisy' quilt, in the middle 'Squiggle Cream Fuchsia' from the 'Washi' collection and to the right 'Floral Confetti Multi from the 'From little things' collection. I always loved that print and am so happy that I managed to get it as a bargain.
