four flutterbys flying



i didn't have my foot this past week, which meant no sewing. i am taking judiths amazing retro butterflies class and luckily there was just a little bit of trimming to do, so the past week was spent trimming a gazillion drunkards paths, yay! i got my foot back just in time for class and all that trimming meant i could sew some blocks together.


i now have four pretty, fluttery butterflies finished! and wow were they a struggle to get to this stage, me and my seam ripper are super best friends now! only because i didn't read the instructions and merrily sewed away with a 1/4" seam instead of a 3/8" seam, even after i found out i had to use a 3/8" seam i didn't move my needle over enough and had to get the seam ripper out again!


even with all the seam ripping and perhaps just a few naughty words, i love how the blocks turned out! i am using all my bonnie and camille fabric from most of their past collections, it's been fun mixing them all together! i don't really have a plan for this quilt, i keep going between colour blocking and scrappy, so i guess it's going to be a mixture of both!


oh and we had a visitor today, meet storm he is just a big gentle giant and oh so fluffy! and as you can see everybody that comes to the house leaves with thread on them!

i believe in fairies...

ooh it's been a bit quiet over here! so here's a little catch-up of what i've been up to!

i got a (very hard to photograph) peter pan tattoo :)


and turned twenty two!


i made just a few fabric boxes


along with a couple of foxes



i did the fine and dandy craft fair


and treated myself to some dotty boots, they're quite the pair!



i've had a little fabric play


and started the quilt red letter day


… watched this movie many, many times…


so much so that it's got me talking in rhymes!
