Passion for purple and a finish

I was determined this week to finish up quilting on
the High Flyer quilt for grand-daughter, a continuing infection
slowed me up but I did it!


I couldn't get a full shot as I was without any helpers
yesterday to hold, but I'll try and get one during the week.

More on my purple houses from
Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2016,
if you check on my last post the second of my
two houses wasn't making me very happy, it's now relegated to
my bits and pieces box and a new one in my usual
favourite KF Collective fabrics is here


now I'm happy!!

A new book arrived yesterday so I'm doubly happy, I've only had a look
at a few pages but boy it explodes with colour
and great ideas


and I'm saving it for later today when I can sit totally uninterrupted
and enjoy!

No flower pics today, wet and dull here presently and the colours
are fading fast in the garden.

If you have a longing for more purple go along to visit Angela at
soscrappy
and get your colour fix!

Have a Happy Week

    Your High Flyer quilt is beautiful - a spring garden in bloom. Looks like another book, I will have to find in our library.

    Beautiful quilt! And that house looks much more you than the one that has been relegated to the bits and pieces box.

    Maureen! Your granddaughter's quilt is truly lovely. She will be thrilled with it! Pat yourself on the back for getting the quilting done while not feeling your best. That's not easy to do.

    High Flyer is gorgeous!!! I'm thinking I might need to make a new Cascade with this lovely color scheme.

    What a lucky girl she is Maureen, that's totally gorgeous! And I can see some of my favourite KF prints in there, yum! I've got a lot of catching up to do with you so I'll be popping by during the day between the chores - I'm going to need a good colourful Maureen fix this afternoon!
