SHOUTING!!! Hoffman Indah Modern

I'm sorry

but I may just keep going on about these fabrics, and then when I get them in the shop just cuddle them.

I am in love

With a fabric collection

Why - because I will be excited not just to make a couple of quilts but pieces of clothing!!!!

There are 24 in this release

I am splitting them into 4 collections of 6 (the 4 elements)

Earth, Water, Fire & Air

Earth

Water

Fire

Air

These are not Batiks as you know them, they are modern batiks.

Hand Dyed.

Designed by Me+You for the Indah collection

the collection already had solids and a stitch and dot fabric

I may have to go back and collect those too….. as having trouble tracking down sellers in the UK, 

or rather NO online sellers in the UK!

 I don't think they have a name yet,

If you can think of better names or know the names let me know
but my names are;

Arrow head

Rain dance

Star Flower

Due out in USA I think January and here in February

so I will spilt the lot into February delivery for earth & water,

March delivery for Fire and air set.

(my purse can't handle it!!)

Tula Pink - Block NO.6

Tula Pink 100 Modern Quilt Blocks

Block NO.6

I will be working through each and every one, with my interpretation and fabric I have to hand.

The beauty of these blocks the little pieces really will use up your scraps.

By adding dotty boarders mine are going to turn into 

100 Hot Pot Mats or Mug Rugs

As perviously mentioned I will not be showing you how to make these

You have to purchase the book.

The plain colour is Lime 75 Bella solid

the dotty is Olive 17 essential dots

The rest are scraps.

I purchased this....

Tula Pinks City Sampler 100 Modern Quilt Blocks

I purchased this on Saturday, and love it.

Anybody else have it?

Decided I am going to work through all 100 quilt blocks, but instead of turning them into a quilt add a 1.5" boarder around and turn them into hot pot mats or mug rugs.

So 10.30 last night, what did I start doing - yes block #1

front complete, went to bed couldn't sleep, itching to sew, wiring brain, got up 1am - yes block #2 front complete.

Official - Now Tired.

I will upload a picture of each one I make, make separate file, is there a flickr page anybody know of? 

I wont upload how to make them, I think that you need to buy the book, 

and let the talented Tula Pinks show you.

Vintage Modern Hexagon Quilt

Finally Finished!!

Vintage Modern Hexagon Baby Quilt

Made from half hexagons

33" x 43"

in pinks, reds, aqua and grey

I desided to bind it in a dove grey plain binding

which matches the grey in some of the prints

I don't know if you can see

 but I straight line quilted it in pink

Little peek of the red spotty reverse!

And a better view of the reverse

the grey binding looks great with the red

Stitching close up.

The fabric collection is Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camile

The binding I used was the second in the pile from the top

a colour I have called medium grey!

Almost the weekend!

Vintage Modern Quilt Top Complete!

Vintage Modern Hexi Quilt Top

 Bonnie & Camille fabrics

 could wait to try out a half hexagon quilt on these fabrics,

which I purchased yesterday (see yesterdays post).

Out of the 10 FQ fabrics I have used under half,

so i have enough for a doll quilt, cushion and some left for mixing it up with others.

It will be about 38" x 46" ish, once I have a white 2" frame around it, cot, lap or snuggle quilt,

But that's a job for another day.

Saturday Stash

Popped into my local fabric shop to purchase some batting to finish of a quilt.

I ended up walking out with these 10 FQ of vintage modern by Bonnie & Camille.

I was going to buy more and add more of the colours in the collection but had a really annoying woman quilter who keep looking at my picks and saying no you don't want to do that, clashing, no don't add the green, add some of these (yuckky old fashioned peach fabrics - which DONT SIT with Vintage Modern), and where ever I stood she stood next to me holding her matching (but not matching) fabrics,  so I had to get out before she followed me home.

Never thought you could be stalked by a quilter before, first time for everything.

I am thinking of trying a half hexagon quilt with these.

And as Hubby is away working until next Friday, 

I think I may just get a bit of sewing in every night after work.

But I can't wait and I am off to cut it into pieces.

I haven't a clue how big I will make, that's my problem I will just lay it out on the floor as I go, it baby cot size or may get a twin single out of it if I border it with white...

Happy Weekend, and watch out for stalking quilters............
