Drawstring Quilt Pattern and a Giveaway!



I'm so excited to be kicking off the New Year with something that's been in my head for a long time, and is now finally on paper - or at least, online!
With the generous help of my talented husband (who knows how to use computers), I have developed a pattern for my Drawstring Quilt! It's now available to buy in PDF format in my shop.
 

We've included colour photos for each step in a really clearly laid out format. I think even beginner sewers will find this easy to follow (but some experience and knowledge of your machine is required).

 

And that's not all! I've been cutting strips till there's no give left in my cutting mat and created some custom designer fabric rolls. In Australia, it's really hard to buy designer fabric at a reasonable price, unless you import it in large quantities, so I really wanted to share some of my fabric collection with everyone (and take some of the work out for you!).


I just love this turquoise, red and yellow together! And I think it's the perfect mix of cute, fun prints, modern funky designs, and solids and staples. I've also put together orange, green and aqua, and pink, coral and beige. I can't wait to show them to you! (but I'm picking Tully up in 10 minutes and I really wanted to get this written before the chaos descends again!)
So, I better get to the point! I have a Jelly Roll set aside, especially to give to you!


I have just fallen in love with these little dragonflies by Patti Young! So I used them as the base from which to build this colour palette.  There's 25 strips, 2.5" x 44".
