Mini swoon in Karen Lewis

A mini swoon!!! This was a swap with Karen Lewis fabric and my partner was the lovely Claire Poppins. I decided to try the mini swoon pattern to showcase these lovely fabrics.
 

 

First my small world

 Well i had to jump on the first my small world band wagon didnt i 😊 I loved making this and remember buying the quilt mania magazines, had to go to WH Smith’s in Aberdeen to buy them! I wont lie it was a tricky pattern to make but I loved the result.

I gave it to the OT department in QMU, it felt right to do so. And imagine my surprise when a new lecturer pointed it out in a tweet! Happy happy memories ❤️

So of course I replied!

I came across these progress shots so wanted to add them, it was a fabulous quilt to make

Colonial knot quilt

 

I love love love a colonial knot, it wasn’t too practical to make a quilt out of them but this one went to my niece in the end I think. I used a lot of colonial knot work patterns by Sandie Lush. Great way of using up solid fabrics!

Fergus and Johnny leaving

 Ok this is a bit of a test let’s see if it works. I deleted a couple of years of blog posts by mistake so am trying to see if I can recreate them.

Siblings quilt

 This was a result of me being queen bee for my siblings together group. I tried to pick an easy block which could be easily manipulated if I got some which were not quite up to size. This one worked grand!

Dancing ribbons

 Awww I loved making this, very tricksy but a fabulous result! This was part of a swap with the Edinburgh Modern Quilt guild and partners in Australia, I sent this off to Miss Midge, all done in liberty!

Mini charm squares

 

I also bought quite a few mini charm packs … ! I loved this one, paired it with some nice Tilda Japanese pagoda pink fabric then some lovely blossom fabric, how sweet!
