100% Charming

Stitched the binding down on this quilt while watching tv on Sunday night.

I really enjoyed making 100% Charming - lots of lovely Bonnie and Camille fabrics from so many of their ranges and used up some other B and C fabrics for the borders - the pinks and red/pinks were used in the last quilt I finished.  The quilt was designed by Jedi Craft Girl - gotta love her business name.

The orange peel quilting by Quilting on the Coast looks wonderful - gives the quilt great texture.

I love B and C's cross stitch fabrics and they all work well as backings.

Karen quilted "Jacob's Ladder" yesterday - another one to add to the binding pile.

Over the weekend I started working on a new Thimble Blossoms' pattern "Hey Day".

It goes together very quickly.  I'm using Bonnie and Camille's "The Good Life" fabrics for this quilt and the background fabric is little pink and red hearts on white from the same range.

There are 9 large blocks with sashings between.

ChaCha enjoyed herself at the birthday party with her little cousins.  We visited the Illawarra Quilters' Show afterwards - some lovely quilts on display and some fun quilts.

Saturday afternoon Jenni and Kurt came to visit - they had been to their jeweller that morning the pick of the engagement ring.  It's stunning.

Kurt chose the opal because he knew Jenni would love the colours, the larger dark stone is a parti sapphire, the other is a green sapphire, the smaller diamond is champagne and the larger diamond along with the gold are my Mum's engagement ring.
