A very happy New Year to everyone! Apologies for my absence. We have been backwards & forwards to the farm, where there is no internet connection. Just popping in to say a quick hello & let you know I am still in the land of the living! I hope you have had special times with family & friends over the festive break. Thought I'd share my favourite Christmas gift with you:
A gorgeous 'Aviary' layer cake by 3 Sisters ...
... and a layer cake pattern book by Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures. Ooooh, noice! This gift was from my husband's family, & expertly chosen by my lovely sister-in-law.
I am thinking I will make the layer cake up using the 'Vintage Diamonds' pattern from the book. Should be very soft & antique-y.
Or perhaps this lovely, lovely thing?! The pattern for this quilt is free on the Moda site, here. And so another year of fabric love, creating, scheming & dreaming begins!

Wow, what beautiful fabric. Do you know where she bought this? I think it would look beautiful in the Le Jardin quilt pattern you made last year. I'll have to try and buy it myself.
ReplyDeleteHave a great year.

oh yum! Those all look great. I'm so glad girly colors are back in style. I'm not one for lots of dark olive greens that were everywhere a while back. I could live in a pastel world.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out those books, they look great.
Mmmm they're both gorgeous patterns. Maybe the solution will be to get another layer cake and make both!
