the caravan quilt is finally finished! Mum commissioned me to make it for her caravan over two years ago and i've worked on it off and on, with most of the work done in the last two months. although black and red is probably my least favourite colour scheme, i actually quite like this quilt. i had free rein to do my usual "mashing" of prints and chose a traditional star pattern to blend all the different fabrics i was given. i think it still looks like my style of quilt even though it's only two colours, and best of all, Mum loves it too.

auntie Joy did the beautiful quilting on her machine with black thread and a ribbon hearts pattern, which suits the quilt perfectly. somehow she just knows what you want! although i used to always hand quilt, i just don't have the time to do it anymore, and i wouldn't want to quilt anything over two metres square! both
Levi's quilt and this one are queen bed size, absolute whoppers!

while i was "spring cleaning", i found a quilt UFO that i couldn't believe i had packed away without finishing. i love the colours in this top, and am determined to finish it before the end of the year. because it's a lap size, i am thinking of maybe buttoning or tying it. i've hung it up to look at while i decide...
i also noticed more triangles around the house in the form of a current project and a new necklace that Di insisted i get for myself because it's so me! i'll just go with it and enjoy the geometry around my crafty space...
