Some little Surprises!

After getting my mojo back (thanks Fee)

 I decided to put some finishing touches 

to my new free quilt BOM

which will be available as of Friday 2nd of August,

 and running for 9 weeks.

 Each week the blocks will be available for two weeks only,

then offered for sale in my Craftsy Store.

 So be sure to remember to download them when they are available.

 

 Its looking very swish and I am loving the range of fabric.

 It's FLIRT by Sandy Gervais and so yummy... 

Reds, Aqua and soft pinks.. a little Grey too.

 The finished size will be approx 54in square...

(I will now exact size once I have quilted it later this week)

 There is 16 little set-in stitchery blocks,

some large nine patch blocks and some sashing and borders too.

 You will get each week for 8 weeks, two mini stitchery blocks,

 the instructions to finish the mini blocks,

 then I will give the finishing instructions for the quilt in week 9.

 

I can tell you I used two Flirt charm packs and some yardage in this quilt.

 or you could just do a scrappy one to stash bust some fabrics.

 I will reveal the whole quilt finished 

closer to the time so you can see what you will be making.

 

 Hope your excited about this like me...its looking so Swish...

 If your looking for Flirt fabric to make it the exactly the same as me

 you can purchase some HERE

Remember two charm packs and 1/2mt of contrast and 1m of border fabric.

 Happy Days

Rest, Relax and Recoup!

Its been so long since blogging...Sorry!

I just had a few weeks where I needed to rest, recoup and relax a bit.

 Let my body do its thing and recover.

 The chemo I am having took a little getting used too, 

I had my blah days, don't want to get up days

 no sewing could entice me days....SO

 I made my little family my priority and did just things with my precious girls

 and Darling Hubby..

 We cooked and played games and did lots of fun things with mummy.. 

 I am on the homeward stretch now, so some sewing is happening...

 and with my wonderful friends cheering me on

 and encouraging me I am looking at the finish line...

Happy Days

 Hugs Dawn x x x
