Forest

Since Sally showed her KISS quilt on her blog, I decided I can show my Forest here as well. Yes, it's another Lisa Walton handdyed fabric where I have let the colour in the fabric guide the stitching - just like the quilt for my mother-in-law. As some people suggested, I have added some satin stitching and it does indeed look very good.
Many thanks to Dutch quilter Aart who explained to me how to add my name to the photos!

I have sewn on the sleeve and the quilt now hangs in my sewing room:



I love these subdued colours!

It has been a whole week since I last posted here! We had some very busy days, with friends staying over for a few nights, a school fete, and another gymnastics competition (Hugo won a ribbon for fourth place on pommel horse!!! Photos on our family blog). I have worked hard on a bag for the Embellish a Bag Challenge - it is finished now, but I can't show it yet. I hope it will be selected to be exhibited here in Brisbane at the Textile Art Festival in June.

Don't forget that even when I am not posting here, I am posting a daily photo on my A Photo, A Day blog. I would love it if you would come and follow me there as well!
