Prayer Flag Layer Cake and a Give Away

This morning I tried to quickly choose which thread to quilt my Prayer Flag Layer Cake quilt with before I went to work...

 I always have to spend some time deciding, and I often leave the last word to my daughter. She's always so clear headed; looks, considers and simply says, "That one." But she wasn't here today and I actually had a mini anxiety attack until I thought, "I know, I'll ask my Facebook Page likers. And I'll offer them the chance to go into a draw for two  Aneela Hoey Cherry Christmas Charm Packs. I've always been too shy and scared to do that, but here's a chance to try out a give away." And so I did.

The question is - which thread to quilt with? The yellow or the parchment?

Lots of people have already commented.

This is the quilt top on the design wall. It's only a simple Framed design, like the one I wrote a tutorial about here. Made with a moda April Cornel layer Cake, Prayer Flag. The colours are truly reminiscent of prayer flags fluttering against the sky in Tibet.

So if you would like to go into the draw for two Cherry Christmas Charm Packs 

1.  comment on which thread you would machine quilt this quilt with - yellow or parchment.
2. You can comment here on the blog, or on Quiltopia!Design Facebook
3. The winner will be drawn on Friday 14/12 night.
4. Winner will be posted here, and on Facebook.

Thank You and Good Luck!

You could make a 9 Squared quilt with the two charm packs, like my new Vintage Modern one. This one is for sale on Etsy now.

For SALE $75.00

I got three Moda pre-cut quilts basted on the weekend. The Framed quilt is the only one that still needs quilting, and I'd like to get it done before we go away for Christmas!
back Friday with the winner's name,
Ann.

Tiny "It's a Hoot" Scrap Quilt

This is the first time I've used Blogger for Mobile App and I'm not sure how it will turn out.
I put together all these little 2 1/2 inch squares left over from a lovely quilt I made from an "It's a Hoot" layer cake and jelly roll ages ago. They've been gathering dust on my sewing bench for a while. I think they'll look really cute as a cushion cover, don't you?

I've been slowly working on a Cat in the Hat Raggy quilt and just got the appliqués on this morning. For such a simple little thing it's taken a really long time!

All the squares are in a bag ready to take into the shop today and hopefully sew together.

I feel quite inspired, but as usual time poor, after my recent trip to Canberra where I visited lots of arty crafty places. One of them was "Shop Handmade". Gorgeous things in there!
I bought a hand printed cushion cover by FormosaDesign, some Denise Schmidt Flea Market Fancy fat q's from Fresh Fabrics Aust (they have an etsy store and wonderful service too), a gingerbread biscuit and of course, some handmade Belgian chocolate hearts. Highly recommended!

I'm hoping this post all looks ok, but I've got to dash now and get ready to open the shop.

Have a great weekend,
