the sneakiest peek

 Elephants never forget...and neither do I.

As promised I am making something special for one of my lovely followers.

Giveaway details will be posted shortly...

 I can guarantee it will take the shape of the rose star pattern

like these wonderful recent makes from the block party

chit..chat

spring has sprung...if I was a slinky I'd be halfway down the stairs already.

I am like a moth to a flame..

and so the daydreaming begins...

After sifting through my hibernating seeds I have sown.

white cosmos

purple phlox

white echinacea

white lupins

purple echinops

&

white foxglove

blue sweet peas

(collected from my garden)

The latter are in a cold frame 

the foremost are snuggled in their propagator.

The majority of these will be given away..

I just love growing seeds its like a new beginning every year.

What do you do to speed up springs arrival?

wip thursday?

Oh I seemed to have lost a day this week?

I was sure it was wednesday!

So yes...pink!

Like they say 

everyones got a book in them..

everyone has a pink quilt in them too.

It had to be done.

This zigzag will be for sale when I open my etsy shop,

though I'm only quilting one stripe a day 

due to my shoulder (it's that bad)

so it may or may not be for sale this year LOL!

No sewing today.

I have the back door open.................

ps. thanks to you all I have over 100 followers!

which feels lovely.

I shall start thinking about that special prize...

inspiration or not?

You know I'm all about having an inspiration for my quilts.

Now I'm thinking my summer of love quilt

 was the inspiration behind this fabric line?

It's from art gallery fabrics.

(nothing to do with me)
Am I insane?

I don't own this colour combo

but I'd love to know if they have seen my quilt.

I just keep looking at the two pictures,

I cannot believe how similar the colours are,

even down to the same two turquoise solids!

Oh and part of this stash comes from a collection called..

summerlove..
coincidence?

alive

Looks like selfsewn has sprung into life.

You guys rock big time.

over here!!

 I'm pacing the room excitedly awaiting your visits.

Hopefully you've made the trek from summerfete my original blog.

Welcome to the real selfsewn blog!!!

 It's going to be as fun as ever,

much the same as before.

I have added a tab so my tutorials are redirected for now.

 So here is my first fully fledged selfsewn project.

It's my mini quilt for Ellison Lane.

It has a great story behind it,

which has nothing to do with a cadburys creme egg.

(I am not sponsored by cadburys, but I live in hope)

I couldn't help thinking of creme eggs with this colour combo LOL!

So here I am.

Selfsewn.

I really am very excited about my future in quilting.

My head is full of great things...

hope you will stick around for the ride?

ps.

I'm losing all my 424 followers.

If I make it to 100 followers before March

there will be a special gift for someone...
