Inspiration in Arles...

I have always loved this photo of window shutters I took last year in Arles!


So I have used it as the inspiration for the "Aurifil-Make a Designer Collection"

Competition over at Lily's Quilts

I love the subtlety and delicacy of this range of colours!

And onto other matters.....

I have made some more Bitty Blocks...

No, not volcanoes erupting!

Little Black Dresses- foundation pieced 

and....



Birdhouses!


I had great fun improvising with these!

There is also a baby quilt on the drawing board!

I hope to have it ready to show you in a few days time!

What have you got on the drawing board?

Happy sewing!

  12. I really love the shutter colours a lot. The foundation blocks are wonderful, especially the itty bitty dresses. I'd love to have something new on the wall but it's the ongoing stuff as usual.
