Wensleydale blocks that is!
The last time I shared these, I was still living in
Brighton.

| The yellow may be a little bright? |
We have been in our new home six weeks now and
loving it!
The move was not without its trials but once we were
in, the unpacking progressed quickly!

I love my new sewing room- its only small but the light
is fabulous.
24 blocks
I keep going through my stash and unearthing little
gems that just might work!

Maybe next time you see this it will be a complete quilt
top.
Jen Kingwell, the designer of this pattern,
tends to name many of her designs for the towns
around her home.

| And 30! |
I have done that with a few.
"New Brighton Gardens" was named after the street and
suburb we lived in for eight months.

So following that fine tradition,
I am naming this quilt Carisbrook!
Happy sewing....

It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI just started my first FPP and I simply can't get my head around it. I've chosen a very simple pattern - only 3 pieces, yet they just aren't working. I've walked away in disgust and will leave them alone for a few days.
That'll probably do the trick!
Looking good so far and I've named some after places we know & a few with just silly names too. I did think Wensleydale had been named for the wonderful area in Yorkshire I know well, but then found that there is one near Jen as well in south west Victoria. Must get down there once the weather picks up maybe & check it out. Hope you aren't too wet. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're settling in well. That's an interesting block. Good luck piecing the top.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you are getting time to sew. Settling in seems to take so long.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking great with all the different fabrics. Amazing what you can find tucked away. Good luck with the final blocks.
Carisbrook. A good name for these lovely blocks. You have such a good eye for combining scraps, though I do NOT think that yellow is too bright. :-) But you know me... I love bright. I can't recall. Are you paper-piecing these? The precision of those points are perfect. Your workmanship is spot-on. I'm so happy to know you like your new home, and your new sewing space. Small is an okay trade-off for good light. Keep enjoying yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along so beautifully. I love the colours and prints you've chosen and how fun that you've found little hidden treasures in your stash to include. Carisbrook is an excellent name.
