1946 Quilt in Flea Market Fancy

I bought this as a kit from Patchwork On Central Park and I just couldn't wait to begin to make this quilt. The pattern is made by Melly & Me - my all time favorite designers. I've been a fan of Rosalie Quinlan for years and when I bought my first Melly & Me pattern I had no idea that she was behind this label!

I couldn't believe my luck to find this kit - in one of the all time most gorgeous fabric ranges - Flea Market Fancy. I so wish this range could be re-released. Please Please, can somebody please do it - I know it would be another total world wide sell-out, even in a middle of an economic downturn...

Getting back to this quilt, it was fun and easy to make, lots of cutting though, I think it was about 400 squares cut into halves! I was cutting for 2 whole days, but it was so worth it! I'm really pleased with how it turned out and it's so far my favorite quilt to date. I backed it with Anna Maria Horner's fabric from her Chocolate Lollipop range. The colors are just perfect together, I forget at times they are not from the same range or designer!

Drawing Room Curtain for my Study

It has now come to the time to pack up the whole house and with it comes the curtain I made for the study. I remember when I first saw Anna Maria Horner's ''Drawing Room''. I just loved it straight away and fought the urge to buy it for a while, but couldn't resist in the end!

When we move I don't know what to use it for, I might have to convert it into a quilt. It's not quite wide enough for a big bed, but maybe for a single bed. Or maybe it can just be a quilt hanging over the couch or something. I will work it out once I'm set up to sew again!
