Mystery Quilt Fabrics

On Friday I had a great day out with Vicki, Roseanne and Sarah. In the morning we visited Leanne at Esme's in Launceston, then it was off to see Pauline at Calico Crossroads in Exeter. While there we picked out our fabrics for next weekends Mystery Quilt Class with Kerry Swain. My selection is mostly Luna Notte by 3 Sisters with a couple of French General fabrics thrown in.
 

 The pale pink 'toiley' fabric at the bottom is going to be the background.

 

Back to school tomorrow ... gee that fortnight flew by .. but I have managed to finish the last two Simple Pleasures stitcheries ...
 
Jug of Flowers


Basket of Flowers


and Tail Feathers is now a completed top. 


Over the next few weeks I need to concentrate on some 'secret' sewing. 
Will try and show a few peeks along the way.

  15. Tailfeathers is fabulous!!!! Congratulations on completing it. You should enter it in a show when it's all completed; I bet it would win a big prize. 8)

    Love your mystery fabrics. How much of each did you have to buy? It looks like a fabric roll I bought earlier this year. I stuck it in a drawer and ran into it again this weekend. I had forgotten all about it, and it's SO pretty!

    Happy mystery stitching,
    Susan in Texas

    Happy quilting with Kerry- I know you will have a fabulous time.
    Warmest regards,

  23. Tail Feathers is gorgeous, wish I had followed my heart & did the BOM for that - maybe.... Your Simple Pleasures blocks are so cute I have got my book out to look at doing it too. I spent a great night with Pauline & the girls quilting while travelling through Tassie, can't wait to go back. Can't wait to see the mystery quilt, the fabrics are just my colours too. thanks Tracee xx
