Four hearts HD

So two weeks ago I went on a day long quilting course at the Skep to master using triangles... Maureen had picked out a really pretty four hearts pattern to try out. I was immediately inspired to do this in pink (not the bright reds Maureen had pulled out for us to pick from), so nipped into the shop and picked 4 fat quarters. I think the fabrics I chose have a really 'Old Colonial America' feel to them, if you know what I mean.




Sorry for the not great photos. I've left my camera at work, so these were taken on my iphone.
ETA: I have no idea why they are rotated.. I just rotated them by 90 degrees and uploaded again, and the new images are rotated through 180 degrees in blogger. So I deleted them again. I give up...

I really enjoyed the class, once again learnt some new things, and am really, really happy with my cushion cover. Even though I'm not really a pink person I think my choice of fabrics was just right. I finished the binding and did the button holes at home - which of course took over a week to do. Mostly because I couldn't remember how to make a button hole....

This weekend I'm trying to finish my cardigan (sewing it together is making my fingers hurt, so it is slow going), and am stitching on A New Beginning. I may try and share a couple of photos tomorrow.

And to remind anyone reading this tonight - there is still time to enter my giveaway - see my last post. I'm thinking of stitching a Black Bird Designs piece for the winner...
