I knew it wouldn't last! I have been really good for the whole of January working on my old projects and resisting the temptation to start something new, but not any longer! I have been following the
SAL blog run by Chookyblue for the last few years but I have always been too late to join in the projects. This year I was on time! we are making 'Nature's Journey' by Anni Downs, a lovely lap size quilt with a mixture of appliqué and piecing, just the sort of project I love :)
you can buy the pattern direct from Anni at Hatched & Patched
HERE
I also bought some fabrics for it (!) If you are going to fall off the wagon you might as well do it properly right? I bought some 1/2 yards of pale grey on sale from the US for the background and a few FQ's from Anni's fabric range "About a Boy, About a Girl" The rest came from my stash.
I am really looking forward to stitching this quilt, I made Anni's "An Angel's Story" quilt a few years ago, it is one of my favourites and my niece loves to sleep under it when she visits.
Oh I think this is worth falling off the wagon for for sure! Just lovely! I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I love your Angel's Story quilt too!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt pattern I'm also going to but, I'm waiting for news from a shop who has ordered these. So hopefully I can start in a few weeks. When I saw her new pattern I fell in love !
