I am sorry - I got so busy and tied up at Christmas time that I didn't get around to wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I trust you had a fabulous time and like me, are now slowly slipping back into routine. I managed to finish three quilt for Christmas, the one above is my chunky scrap quilt made from Heather Bailey fabric.
I get given alot of fabric from my husbands mother and grandmother. I never know quite what to do with it, as we have very different taste. So I decided to make them both quilts out of fabric they had given me. The above one is made with batik style fabric.
I decided to go all out and buy that thread that is multicoloured. To my surprise I loved sewing with it, it was so cool watching the colours changing as I was sewing.
I made this quilt for my mother in law, she bought me this piece of fabric in Bali. The red, pink and gold looked quite stunning, and I lined it with pink minkee.Now it is time to work on a couple of custom orders I have :)

How lovely - it shows the incredible variety of fabrics, which I think you've used beautifully.
I posted just after Christmas about the hand embroideries I've made for my family, in remembrance of my mum. I got the idea from your blog, so thanks very much! They're here if you'd like to see them:
