Do you ever just have to...

start something fresh - just because...
Sometimes creativity gets the better of me - and flannels have a strong pull.
For the most part the projects I embark upon are pretty busy - lots of piecing, lots of appliqué - or a combination of both.  When I began to stock the book "Simple Comforts" the cover quilt took my eye - and flannel it had to be.
So Friday for me this week became "flannel Friday" - and my little stack of simple blocks in stunning flannels is steadily growing..

A sneak peek....

I thought you might like a sneak peek at the progress on my "Birds of a Feather flies to Rouen" quilt.. January is half way through and I think I'm going to achieve my aim of a completed centre panel by the 31st..
The number of completed blocks are growing, and are being happily joined to their neighbours.  The needle turned appliqué blocks are lovely to work - the curved shapes of the birds, leaves and berries turn easily and the vines flow..

A piece From the Heart

Thought as we are four days into the new year and before many more days slip by, I should revisit  these little "From the Heart" blocks. There's something about reproduction fabrics and neat little blocks... a jumble of colours and designs - somehow they all come together in the end.

"From the Heart" is designed by Lori Smith.

Jammin' in the New Year

Summer has struck the south with a vengeance - fruit ripening everywhere... so today I'm jammin' - golden plums with preserved ginger.  It's a summer tradition - and a race between me and the birds..
