aww man i have been collecting Lucys fabric since she started printing. I adore her fabric and she is from the same area as me to boot and a sooper luffly person as well :-) I have her pattern, i have the templates from Jenny Haynes. i just need to make it so.

No.5 Liberty Lone star

I commited to making 2 Alice Caroline SOS quilts this year. Its not like i dont have much liberty ...

 No.6 Liberty scrappy trip

See No 5!

No.7 Jo Avery Tea for 2

I love a Jo Avery pattern! I collected all of these patterns from Today's Quilter. I wanted to do it in bold fabrics, inspiration hit when i thought about using Japanese metallic and a bold green as the back ground and the backing, the vase fabric! got it at FOQ last year.

No.8 Liberty Fairy Tale Castle

This is very fitting for the FAL, i won this pattern in the final quarter of 2018, Fairy Tale Castle by Blossom Heart Quilts. Ill make it in Liberty for this years Alice Caroline SOS

I now have two of the six blocks i need for this quilt !

No. 9 - Disappearing nine patch

I bought this layer cake in a destash, wasnt quite sure what to do with it but then realised i have never made a disappearing 9 patch quilt. Now that sounds like a plan!

No.10 Michael Powell cross stitch

When a chum found out how much i love Michael Powell designs she unearthed a x stitch of his she had never got round to finishing. its lovely pattern, venetian windows.

No.11 Michael Powell bookmark

I always buy a bookmark from Michael Powell at the FOQ, this might be the last one i buy because im all Kindle now but i use them for my patchwork books.

No. 12 Tresna scarf

Woot woot! i have started knitting! I have the wool I have the pattern, just now need to fit in another 24 hours in the day. 

No. 13 Ridge cowl

well this is my first new knitting project from my beginners knitting class, had a blast, loved it.

No.14 Book nerd quilt

ARRRRRK, i was going to stop above but i cant have 13 on the list .... anyhow i was intending to do this pattern this year. I think i will make it my 'big scraps' pattern. There will be a few big scraps coming from some of the quilts above which will be perfect for this.

No.15 Emmaline retreat bags

I seem to have developed a habit for these ..... i sent off for more frames .... so i need to make three, as they are quick to whip up i will count all three as one finish :-)

No 16. Selvedge booklet pouch

Well its all the fault of Lucy Engels! buying all her patterns and the Jenny Haynes templates which go with them! i now need storage for my growing collection of Jenny Hanyes templates so I am going to use up some of my Selvedge collection to make an Aneela Hooey booklet pouch.
