The Dresden Plate was made with Kaffe fabrics, just love his creations and now I am working on my current unnamed project using some gorgeous Keiko Goke fabrics and a few plains.
Here's a few more - I love whimsy too!
My kinda scraps put to use below!
I'm thinking, as Nanette of Freda's Hive has done previously (dam! I just cannot set up links at the moment! Please check Nanette's blog on my Sidebar!) I'll have a lovely Giveaway ending Sunday 15 January and let you know who's lucky next Tuesday the 17th. I do have lots of lovely reproduction fabrics - if these are the fabrics of your choice, please mention.
I'm flying on a wing and a prayer here - have not been known to be faint-hearted! - my intention is to make a nice, small wall hanging for a winner - if it isn't finished by close-off, it will be soon after and those dear Posties keep delivering. I love applique and also Kim McLean's gorgeous designs.
I always enjoy your projects and your use of color! Thank you for sharing your gift of quilting with me...and everyone else.
ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful eye candy! I am not quilting at the moment, so I'll just enjoy watching you and the others. But boy, it'll be fun to watch! And I love giveaways!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a wonderful gift if I'm the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
I would rather sew with scraps than anything else. Have started the Dresden plate and it gets worked on off and on. Am loving that picture, second from the bottom. Is there a name for it? Thanks for letting me enter.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always so colourful and lovely! Very inspirational on a very grey cloudy UK winters day!
ReplyDeleteAfter working on Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay mystery quilt, my small bits of scraps are very much depleted. Thanks for a chance to win some more. I have made some placemats with the Dresden pattern and I put felt on the back. It washes up very easily.
ReplyDeleteI made your Dresden Plate and love it. Now I want to do your other blocks. I love them.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices look like they are right up my alley. I love colour too! And of course I love scraps...
ReplyDeleteAs usual Lurline, all your fabric choices are lovely and I do love your Kaffe creations, such bursts of colour..

I adore your dresden plate, and your scraps look so pretty, I need to make more quilts so I have more scraps (as opposed to just large pieces of fabric I can't bear to cut LOL!).
ReplyDeleteyou know how much I love your work and oh your scraps are just beautiful...your fabric choices always make me smile on your quilts! I think I may just have to join this 2012 Sew Scrap along as this is the year for me to use what I have .....
ReplyDeleteand you know i love scrappy quilts !!!!
Happy and Healthy New year to you and your DH....let it be a year for you to find many hours in the sewing room happily quilting away.

Lurline, your Dresden plate block is lovely. I can see that I am definitely going to have to try that. The different fabrics look fabulous. Must pop over to Jodie's blog and peruse.
ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts and rarely make anything else! I think I'm bipolar when it comes to fabric choices -- I love both repros AND brights!

Scraps and vivid color and vintage patterns, you have a real gift that blesses us all with fabulous inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my Lurline you are up and running and look how busy and productive you have been!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! thanks for the chance to win your giveaway, what lovely things you have to share!
Scrapaholics unite!
Happy sewing
Scrap quilts are my favourite, and your photos prove how wonderful the blocks look when a lot of different fabrics are mixed together. My fabric preference is reproduction, but really, I love everything. I've been checking out Jodi's scrap along and once I finish a Christmas quilt that I promised myself I would finish this year, I'll be scraping along with everybody.
ReplyDeleteLurline :-) Every time I visit my heart and eye's fill with colour :-) X X X KEEP IT UP... cos, it's a bit grey over this side in January :-) X X X
DeleteI love your blog, which I have only just found. Making things from scraps just gives me a thrill, so at some point I am going to make your Dresden Plate block..it's stunning. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour dresden plates are beautiful enough to eat off!! Lovely colours as usual.
ReplyDeleteJust got internet after the big move so praying I am not too late to enter your giveaway, Lurline! Gosh, you make gorgeous goodies...
ReplyDeleteBig hugs
