It has been two weeks since I chatted - where has time gone? I certainly haven't spent the time sewing!.jpg)
My Danielle brings their big quilts home to launder - this one has been taken over by her DH, Adrian - a good opportunity for you to have a look-see! I have used repro fabrics - yes, still quite clear and bright and quite old, too. It has certainly stood the test of time and I have combined hand and machine quilting and it takes very kindly to a gentle wash in the machine!

I have been working on my applique but not a lot of progress there! Now I have the thought of making a quilt in Liberty Lawn - does anyone have any advice or tips please? I also really like Little Folks in voile by Anna Marie Horner and feel I will have to have a little play - I have a Retreat coming up at the end of the month - would be a nice way to spend the time with Girlfriends! in a lovely venue in the country just outside of Perth.Enjoy your weekend!

I've seen photos and read about voile quilts in blogland, but can't just name where right now. Have fun on your retreat.

Stupid question time: what exactly is voile? Or lawn? :D Good luck with it! A Liberty lawn quilt sounds wonderful!

Love the way you set this quilt! Dare I start another quilt with 80+ UFOs waiting!? Sure!
I really like this quilt, Lurline. Brighter truer colors than the usual 30s repros, so appealing!
I have been a tad busy also , so being the 27th to comment all I can add is words fail, can I say a quilt to be admired and a giver of comfort.
Gorgeous quilt Lurline, as always your quilts are beautiful and so bright and fresh. I'm really loving pinwheels at the moment, lots of inspiration in yours. Hope all is good for you and that you are healing well too...
