These are great fabrics to use in applique or as backgrounds.  They will brighten up any quilting project!

Congratulations! and I will email you both to get your postal address.

Also this week I completed my challenge quilt for the group - art quilts around the world: http://aroundtheworldin20quilts.blogspot.sg/

The challenge was to make a portrait and make it no bigger than A3 size.
Check out the other cool portraits too......

The combination of Christmas, going home to NZ and guests meant that I procrastinated over this project until the 30th of Jan (due the 31st) but I did get it done on time.  Funny how working to a deadline is usually a good incentive!

Fusible applique, machine embroidery, machine quilted.  It has peltex inside rather than batting to make it stiffer.  Loved using the New Zealand fabric to represent my "kiwi" ness!

Here is a sneak preview of my next project......

Happy Quilting everyone!

My 200th Post Giveaway!

or:

2nd prize:Set of 4 (Metric) fat quarters of Ice dyes (various colours)

I will draw 2 lucky winners next Friday 8 February and these fabrics will magically "wing" their way to your letterbox!

All the fabrics are hand dyed by me on high quality pimatex cotton fabric and are colourfast.  All fat quarters are metric size which are slightly larger than a standard US fat quarter.
