Little Poppy, some linen and the Dance of the Heart

001jpg002jpg003jpgI have had a lovely play today at home, socializing , gardening, and of course the essential sewing, such a beautiful day and l managed to achieve a vitamin D intake, with out becoming crisp……..

So l have been working on  Rosalie Quinlan Block of the Month  Dance of the Heart, in redwork (she also has it in coloured thread)  so once again using my scrap the wall hanging is nearly finished, l am a bit of a fan of redwork, so l have shown you a sample.  The patterns comes with pre-printed linen and the thread and of course directions of how to put it together…….The patterns will be in the shop next week.

Another item that l finished was a new Make it Perfect Pattern Called Mini Poppy, it is the sweetest little dress, once again the pattern is simple and logical, l used cotton for the dress but you can also use a heavier fabric, patterns are on sale at my shop..

There are lots of deliveries at the moment so the shop is full, one of the collections that came in is of printed Linen Blend, as you can see in the picture the fabric is quite smart and it has a wider width.  This is the fabric that Irene B was waiting for back in January……….she assures me that she has a new quilt design that this fabric can be used in …….well guess who is waiting now………

As l mentioned the shop is full of fabric  so l have had to have a tidy up so my sale baskets are overflowing so at $8.00 per metre (minimum cut 1metre) you cannot go wrong  and its worth having a look at.

I think thats all for this blog…

Cheers Mary
