Indah - Generation 3 - by Me + You


Following on from Generation 2 of the Modern Batiks by Me + You 
which are due in the shop in March

There is a Generation 3 also coming out in USA in April (May in the UK).

There are 21 fabrics, which I have also split into 4 groups
Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter

Again I can't wait for these, I think the fabrics are perfectly modern and grown up!

In Love with Flourish by Ciana Bodini



Im in Love with Flourish by Ciana Bodini

I love the vintage vibe to this collection



Red Valentino’s Fall 2012 Collection was whimsical and sweet, just like 


Flourish! The whole collection was infused with blushing pinks, ruffles, florals on 

florals, and over-the-top bows This dress was reminiscent 

of Camelots Flourish print.



Flourish by Ciana Bodini. Flourish is a soft and dreamy collection of pretty florals 

and streamlined prints. The inviting peach, mint, and mineral blue hues are a 

perfect combination for this romantic collection. The effortless femininity of this

collection is reminiscent of a quiet spot in the outskirts of Paris – all you’re 

missing is a chic dress, classic french read, and a vintage bicyclette!




Due out Late January in USA, feb in UK

Also check out Ciana Bodini webpage for further scrummy photos.

Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

 
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
