Learning from a master!

I was lucky enough to attend a trunk show with 

Jenny Doan the other night!

What a delight she is- truly inspiring, generous with 

her time and knowledgeable!

 I don't own many charm packs and they were all 

given to me by friends...

So I decided it was time to make a baby quilt using 

the Window Pane Disappearing Nine Patch pattern.

More details can be found here

This range of fabric was called Bunny Tales by 

Darlene Zimmerman, long discontinued it seems.

I knew I wanted to make it larger than the 30" it 

finished up at this stage;

Pardon the heads, I was in the third row!

So I added a deeper blue 1" border and a 4" spotted one!

I really loved how it turned out!

I think Mr Tiger is pretty pleased too!

I have a few more ideas for the rest of the charm 

packs I have in stash....

Happy sewing!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to win a half 

day workshop at Amitie....

with the aim to make this quilt by Michelle 

Mackillop.

I even got to sew on a wonderful old Featherweight 

machine!

So for the last few months I have continued piecing 

the background...

lots of nine patch blocks...

These were then cut into four,

to make a disappearing nine patch...

then sewn back together,

until I had this!

I finally had the opportunity to go back for 

another session...

preparing my circles and leaves (feathers?) in the 

meantime.

I foundation paper pieced these two sections....

but I am not happy with them.

So I have decided to hand piece them,

the perfect project for my upcoming Tassie Trek!

I'm using my recently acquired Cotton & Steel stash!

This pattern has not been released yet, but I will let 

you know if it is!

Happy sewing!
