Projects - present and future - and a visit to sew stitch snap SHARE

We're still in Winter, at least officially, but this beauty

was flowering yesterday

and heaps more all ready to open, the scent is out of this world.

I've finished my Golden Strips top

I had to lay it on the floor to take the photo, not enough room

on my design wall and the morning light was brighter than

I would have liked for photographing.

Here's a close-up with one of my favourite fabrics with

the gorgeous roses in Yellow Floral Delight, a Philip Jacobs design.

I 'd decided there was no more room on my book shelves for any

more quilting books but then I succumbed to this one,

it arrived in the mail a few days ago

and it's another glorious publication!!

One of the first quilts which caught my attention was this one

and it really is brighter than it looks here.

I have lots of the KF  stripes and his shot cottons so

this is on my list, the best part is I don't need to think about spending

on fabrics.

My Little Bits blocks are coming along slowly, there's quite

a lot of cutting in this one. Placement is supposed to be random, it is a scrappy quilt

after all,

but I'll make all the blocks before putting them up on the wall

and play around with them.

And so another Wednesday has come around and

this week is another link up with
Linda and Julie

for
sew stitch snap SHARE.

Not a whole lot going on in my little sewing room,
just something easy and straight out of a book!

From a Kaffe Fassett book, pattern named Golden Strips!!
Pretty self explanatory.
I'm not too convinced about the Grey Brocade fabric, I'll sew up a few
more strips and see how I feel about it then.

The time since my post last week has been spent taking stock of
a few things, being up before dawn to look
at the planet Venus which is beautifully clear just before dawn
in the Eastern sky

just a tiny pinprick on this photo, but followed by

a beautiful sunrise.

Trying to walk on a very marshy lawn to see what's flowering in
the garden beds - one of my favourites is this

and if my memory serves me right this is a primula - correct
me if I'm wrong.
And that's it in this brief, barely quilting, post.
Don't forget to visit with Linda and Julie - links above
at the top.
I'll be back in a few days after upping my game with
the amount
of quilting projects I'm posting these days!
