Sweet Escapes - Newish in!!!

I totally forgot to blog this!!!

Sweet Escape is the latest collection from Dashwood Studio designer, Bethan Janine, based on a cycle ride through the English countryside in late summer!

Lovely collection, and are all quirky individual pieces

Don't forget I all my fabrics as Fat 8th Bundles if you make small things, like purses.

And about to change all my listings so all single fabrics can be purchased as Fat 8ths upwards.

Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

Searching for a heart quilt pattern, I couldn't seem to find any with 'enough' squares,

as I found some can look quite boxy.

So I have designed this as 17 x 17 squares

289 square in total

If you follow this colour scheme

14 light grey 01

24 mid light grey 02

47 mid grey 03

31 dark grey 04

173 white

Think I am going to make mine in 5" squares

But you could make from Jelly rolls 2.5" squares

Would also be a good idea to break down into 9 sections to quilt together

Doll Quilt

After what seems like an age making quilts.

(the day job kind of took over, too many hours….)

neglected the sewing, the shop not moving forward,

ideally you need to spend many hours on websites

Paris is doing her usually best to pose!!

2.5" squares make into 2" finished squares

8 squares by 10 squares

16" x 20" approx

Used the Rose & Hubble cotton

Now to get on and enjoy making more.

Come on Autumn lol

Just in!!!! Recollection

Deep Winterwoven REcollection by Katarina Roccella

for Art Gallery Fabrics

A Homage to the centuries and evolution of textile craftwork, Recollection hints to artisanal techniques like lacework, embroidery, and tapestry. Embellished with worldly heritage, these designs create variegated textures in sheer charcoal, natural indigo and soft reds with woven highlights of dusty pastels.
