This gorgeous fabric was purchased on the weekend from The Patch Works in West Hobart. If you live in Hobart, love fabric and haven't yet visited this beautiful shop, you must go. The setting is beautiful and they stock lots of wonderful fabric including Kaffe Fassett, lots of batiks and latest lines like Moda's It's a Hoot (the lovely polka dot in the above photo). It's like walking into a fabric wonderland.
The Verna quilt and backing are both pieced.
This luscious Hope Valley bundle arrived from Fabricworm last week. I can't wait to get started on a quilt, but have other things to finish first, including...
A Rural Jardin lap quilt for my mum.
And this Poppy doll. She's almost done. I just need to make her a little quilt and then she'll be ready for her new home!
On the renovation front, the undercoat on the kitchen cupboards is finally done and I have paint ready to go for the top coats. It will be hard to drag myself away from the sewing machine, but the positive change to the kitchen will be well worth it!

New shoes and a new quilt
Love, love, love these sandals. Bought them yesterday on sale at Harris Scarfe, Moonah - when are they not having a sale!
I'm starting my first big quilt - the previous two have been cot quilts. The fabric here is a mix of Kate Spain's Verna and a Farmer's Market paisley. I've had the fabric for ages, but wasn't happy with the mix of colours, so I pulled out all the uber peachy ones and am very happy with what's left - a calm blend of mostly green and yellow. I'm hoping I have enough for a smallish double.
I'm also working on a couple of dolls and can't wait to share photos when they're finished!
