Springville

Gosh I love this quilt - must be because the fabrics are so pretty.  This is "Springville" designed by Thimble Blossoms.  Camille has designed four "Ville" quilts - I haven't made "Autumnville" or "Winterville".

I had plenty of "Lighthearted" fabric left from other quilts I made using that range, so added a few more Bonnie and Camille pretties to make "Springville".

I love the tiny heart print used for the borders - was so pleased I was able to buy some more.  "Modern Loops" for this quilt too - Karen has been busy over the last couple of months.

I love this backing fabric.  I'll be making a dress for Daisy out of this fabric, maybe next year.

Sewing Catch Up

 "Sweet Escape" is almost finished.

The backing is a lovely, bright "One Fine Day" fabric and I've used the off-cuts for the binding.

I asked Karen to use "Modern Loops".

Last year I bought a fq bundle of Tasha Noel's "Simply Country" fabric - such a beautiful collections of blues and white.  I also bought a bolt of the wideback fabric.

Wasn't sure what to make then decided on Thimble Blossoms' "Summerville" and so happy with how it's turned out.

"Modern Loops" for this quilt as well.

"Summerville" and "Sweet Escape" are both ready for the binding to be stitched down but I'm not doing this until I have finished embroidering some blocks for Daisy's quilt - I am the Queen of Procrastination.

I have a stack of quilts ready to send to Karen (after I stitch down the binding on the previous two quilts).

Rosemary:

I seemed to have a lot of aqua Thimble Blossoms and Bonnie & Camille fabrics in my stash and thought Thimble Blossoms' "Rosemary" would work well with these fabrics.

I have always loved the bow fabric from "Vintage Christmas", and bought lots of it when it was available, so am happy to use most of what I had left for the border.

Springville:

I had a few larger pieces of Thimble Blossoms' "Lighthearted" left over and wanted to use them to make "Springville".  Love making a quilt completely from my stash - I had to add quite a few pieces to finish off the quilt top.

The border fabric is from Bonnie and Camille's "Smitten" range - so pretty.

I have enough of the lovely "Lighthearted" backing fabric left to make a dress for Daisy in a year or two.

Rainbow Connection:

This year has been the year of making nine patch blocks.  "Rainbow Connection" is a Thimble Blossoms design made of nine patches.  I had enough of the aqua plaid fabric left over from "Sweet Escape" to make this quilt and the "Moda Love" cot quilt.

The quilt is made with mostly "Sunday Stroll" and "One Fine Day" fabrics with lots of other Bonnie & Camille and Thimble Blossoms fabrics from my scrap stash.

The backing is a lovely "Shine On" fabric.

Moda Love:

I had some aqua "Sweet Escape" blocks left after the quilt was together, so sewed up a few more and made a cot quilt top.

Our littlest sweetheart is growing up way too quickly.  She is such a delightful, happy little soul.

Springville

"Springville" designed by Thimble Blossoms (Camille Roskelley) is another recent finish and this quilt was made almost entirely from my Bonnie and Camille scrap box with a backing offcut for the border.

I think the idea is this quilt represents a village picnic and the central block is the tablecloth.

The blocks and the quilt top come together very quickly and it's really enjoyable to make.

Karen quilted this one with "Flowers for Linda", which I used a few times and it's pretty.

In January I went to see Alan Cumming in concert - he was so entertaining and told so many wonderful stories about his life as well as singing songs that mean a lot to him.

There has also been some garment sewing for the two youngest grandsons - "Bobby Pants" designed by Style Arc Kids.

The fabrics for the pants are from Nerida Hansen.

Vinnie turned two earlier this month and I made his a reading/book cushion.
