Harry Potter, Gypsy Wife and another peek at Kaleidoscope

Before you go further this post has quite a few photos, but I hope
you'll still read on!

Harry Potter - I never got into the books when they began to flood
the stores, lots of friends and our grandchildren were all fans and I had 
been thinking recently, well perhaps I should "join the club".
This morning a rave review in the weekend magazine  all about
the first of new illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books
caught my eye - sounded amazing, rang the book store and yes
they had one in - husband very kindly said he would buy this for me!
Ten minutes later we were in the door of the book shop and


came out with this!

Superb colour illustrations, guess what I'm going to be reading tonight.


splish splash stash

Gypsy Wife - I've been pulling fabrics and have a few examples below, some will be removed and some added in the final cut tomorrow.

Main Focus fabrics
Additional brights
Something a little quieter


More colour
 So I had all the above and then went to one of my Kaffe Collective
Scrap drawers, didn't choose just grabbed a couple of handfuls below

Yummy
So my Gypsy Wife will be a mix of specifically chosen fabrics and
bits and pieces from my scraps.

We kick off on February 1st with
Section 1. Keep watching. 
Link to Gypsy Wife Quilt Along 2016 for lots of fun and games!

Oh and before I go I'm getting on with the Kaleidoscope ready for the link
on February 1st (busy, busy) started sewing the corners on some of the blocks.


Back in a couple of days.
