ALQS6 has arrived

A lovely surprise was waiting on my doorstep yesterday when I got home from work, a package from Singapore, my quilt from ALQS6.  The vibrant colours certainly cheered up a grey damp November day, thank you Vreni

Her is a small detail of all the hand stitching, I have not yet decided where I shall hang it, most probably on my stairwell.

Vreni also included 2 fat quarters for me to play with.  I haven't heard that my quilt has arrived yet but it did have a very long way to go.
This is the third swap I have taken part in that Kate has organized and have really enjoyed the making and swapping, thank you Kate! 

My day stitching yesterday means that I am now well on the way to finish my piece for the ALQS6.  Need to make some boats now.

At long last I have started some stitching.  I am taking part in ALQS6 and  I am using the picture below  (Hundertwasser again) as my inspiration.

I started of by drawing my own version of this picture and used some of my dyed fabrics to make the background.  I hope to get some more done on it tomorrow.
