Another Birthday, another Stacked Coin

I do love this pattern - it is definitely my "go to" pattern when whipping up a relatively quick present for someone. This one is for a lovely friend who needlessly spoilt my two at Christmas with some of their favourite Christmas presents. She was next on my "list" to receive a quilt so it is quite fortuitous that it's her birthday in January

Basic Grey "Blush" for Moda again - I still have enough of this fabric for another project or two - it really is delicious - I wonder how much of my love is because I loved the paper range so much when that came out.

Elise is a girly pink girl so I think this will suit her just fine

And now back to the machine to get my i-Pad case made before we jet off on Saturday

Oooh and am super excited to discover that our LA hotel is only 4 miles away from Sew Modern so we will be popping in there on Wednesday afternoon for a browse & a natter - can't wait! Just a little gutted that the LAMQG meet there on Tuesday night & we will still be in Anaheim working :( Hey ho - can't win them all!

Alzheimers Quilt

Our Third Sarah's Cards Ltd Retreat is fast approaching (4th - 6th November) and as we did in March, we are holding another raffle for one of my quilts. I have used Moda's "Blush" range. It had to be - this was originally designed for the scrapbooking market by Basic Grey and then licensed to Moda. What better range to use for a scrapbooking retreat? In March at the retreat and a generous donation from my better half, we managed to raise £500 for MacMillan Cancer Care. Can we beat that for Alzheimers this time around? I do hope so!

The back

The sashing and back are all Kona Bleached White. The quilt has been stippled & bound using those Michael Miller Pindot in Cocoa again

Oh, and if this quilt looks familiar - I have already made it quite a few times, including this one for our neighbour's daughter - just a different colour sashing this time around

Thank you to Lianne for holding the quilt up and crouching behind it after bemoaning that it didn't cover her *love you babe*
