Well this just might be the most madcap idea for a quilt swap ever.  Like, I mean, e.v.e.r! Just a few short weeks ago I was celebrating a quilt finish and, as you do, I posted a few pictures on my personal Instagram account .    The Shouty Quilt, Juy 2017 The quilt is made from fabrics selected from a number of different Anna Maria Horner and Tula Pink fabric collections and lots of HSTs in various sizes.  Its a large quilt at 90 x 99 inches, and while a HST is a HST, this particular layout is my own design.  I've named this big girl The Shouty Quilt, as she's not exactly low volume. I run an online shop ( more about that another day), but I purchased all of the fabrics for this quilt from fellow Aussie quilt shop owner Kate of Kate Quilts.    Kate asked me if she could repost the picture and it was on her Insta feed that I started having  a a bit of banter with Tamara. The Shouty Quilt will be given to a dear friend of mine for he...

Now that I have have one blog post done I may as well get into my second 😂 You would think it would be easy peasy to chose 4 fabrics a year to feature in 4 economy blocks. Nope! It's actually harder than you think. Well it is for me at least. There are so many pretty, bold or quirky fabrics out there from so many awesome designers. Crazy talented people. I would love to here your suggestions for fabrics that you come across this year that you just LOVE! Eye candy of some of the fabrics I had that I was auditioning to use. Lots of Cotton + Steel in there and some a little left of centre.

2017.... Blocks 1 and 2 for Wendy

I know I have been rather slack when it comes to this blog schtick....here goes This idea came about after a funny and somewhat cheeky conversation with Wendy.  Wendy had posted an Instagram picture of a quilt she had made for friend. I have to say its a pretty freaking amazing quilt. So of course I commented saying " So we are friends now right? When will I get my quilt?" As I said cheeky. Wendy messaged me and we got to chatting.  I have posted the guidelines that we came up with should you feel like buddy-ing up with someone to do your own swap. Here are the basics again I mentioned doing a swap. We needed rules so we hatched a plan.... The same block - Economy Block 4 times a year - once per quarter The centre needed to be a feature fabric and that fabric HAS to be from the year the block is made. the next square a solid fabric and then finally the outer square as a low volume. Oh! Did I mention we are going to do this for 10 years?? Yep we are ki...
