this is a photo of the original circles quilt 'camelot' made by trish harper and was my inspiration for the one i did. as you can see i did my own thing with it as i usually do. for those of you who have the pattern now, we thought it would be interesting for you to see the difference colour and background make.
trish has quilted hers alot more than i have and it looks gorgeous, but then i would sooner be making another top than doing the quilting bit !
and oh, by the way, i would much rather be handpiecing than machine piecing! today i started sewing up the new pattern and i am now trying to decide if i will continue with the machine ! perhaps i should sit on the couch and have a brandy to soothe my jangled machine nerves first !!!!!!
we are still adding to it and building it, but go and take a look at my other blog that my cousins barb and paula from hobart, tasmania and i are playing with at the moment. it is called 'give these girls ago'. if you leave a comment on that blog before the end of the month, june 30th, we will have a give away. so go on over and take a look and leave us a comment about the things you like to make and do.
you know alot of the things i like to make, but other things i love are................
rainbows, avenues of trees, water views, the emotion of music, paper and writing, the comfort of being with friends and family, and i am thankful that i have always been content at home, i have enjoyed travel, walking along beaches, good conversation, laughter, i would love to be able to sing!
