from Sketch to Quilt??

Sketch in my sketch book.

Template on A2 paper.

And so it begins.


When my amazing friend Janet asked me to step in and do a workshop for Southport  Quilters I began doodling images of rabbits with an Easter theme for an applique wall hanging or quilt in mind. As you know this was not the case and I ended up showing the ladies how to make a scrappy trip around the world. I continued to doodle rabbits, then I added some flowers to the doodles and before long I could feel a quilt in the making. This morning I decided to go for it and my little sketch is evolving with fabric and thread.  I am not sure yet if it will be a wall hanging or a quilt as you go quilt but it has got a name 'The Balloon', all will be revealed.
