Well my US visitor has just flown off to Cairns but before she left she gave me this gorgeous V&A William Morris Calendar. It features 12 wallpaper designs from the V&A Archives. Isn’t it beautiful? You can get them online here. They also have a couple of quilt calendars and diaries.

The quilt show goodies

When I visited the two quilt shows I netted quite a haul of goodies including a Brandon Mably fabric in three different colourways; a Kaffe Fassett FQ; some Milliner’s needles size 11, a bobbin box, a scrap bag of four fabrics and piece of fabric that is really not my style but that matches a white one  I have with similar patterns.

I’ve hardly stitched at all during the past week as we’ve been out and about visiting picturesque places to show our visitor. It’s been enjoyable and really makes me appreciate this beautiful country. Hopefully I can get some stitching done this week as I have four block swaps to make and an RAQ.

I was looking through my pink and purple fabrics and I’ve come up with four that I might use in the coloured strips of the baby quilt and for the binding. I’m planning on using Kona Snow for the background and I haven’t yet decided whether to do a pieced or a plain backing.

Here are my four fabrics. What do you think?

These are, from left to right, Kona Lilac by Moda, Ravello by Jinny Beyer for RJR and Burlesque Brocade by Brandon Mably for Rowan/Westminster fabrics.

I’m not 100% sure about using this fabric for the binding but if I do, I will probably use it on the bias. It’s called Rick Rack by Me and My Sister for Moda.

Yesterday I went to The Quiltsmith’s Sunday Sale. It was so difficult to choose… There was 30% off ALL FUNKY FABRICS!

These are my favourites, as you’ve no doubt come to realise. I picked up bolts, put them back, picked them up again, swapped them. Sigh… They were all so lovely. And even better, Melinda of The Quiltsmith had written to tell me that as I was the first person to comment on their blog I could have .5 metre of any fabric I liked as a gift!

So what did I choose? I chose this lovely grey, teal and violet Kaffe Fasset Cloud fabric.

But back to the sale…

Here are my funkies… The top one is a Brandon Mably and is my favourite here. The bottom one is from Kaffe’s range I think and I’m planning on using it as a border to my Andalusian Tile quilt – if I ever get that far. Though at least I did do some hand quilting on it today, so there’s still hope.

And here are some others that I bought. I just love the colours though they don’t show too well in the mobile phone camera and interior light. They are purple and violet. Hopefully I’ll have a camera again tomorrow!
