Rainbow ♡ : :

This week I haven't had a single day for free sewing. I had an Etsy shop pile-up and each day has been spent filling my birthday crown and fox pillow orders. Today I have to make three pillows and two crowns. Usually I don't mind so much, but when there's so many cheerful, quilty projects in the works waiting for my attention, Etsy sewing truly feels like work!



Thankfully, my Wanderlust Quilt binding session was just enough motivation to keep me going, and I love the way it turned out! Having a finished quilt waiting to be photographed to share and such a pretty rainbow of projects hanging around does help clear my cloudy mood and this cloudy weather!



How about you, what are you working on these days?   ♡ Maureen   

A Wanderlust Quilt Top : :

Today is my stop on April Rhodes' Wanderer Fabric Tour that I am so, so excited to be a part of! At Fall Quilt Market I completely fell in love with this new, inspiring collection and have been so looking forward to it's release!

 

A couple of weeks ago I shared a peek of my plan for a flying geese quilt featuring each lovely Wanderer print with a mix of complimenting AGF Pure Element solids in a layout that I was really excited about. I'm calling this my Wanderlust Quilt. The name is inspired by the prints themselves that tell a story of World travel, adventure and dreams. And, is equally inspired by the flow and movement of my flying geese pattern!



I love the impact of separating each of these beautiful Wanderer fabric colors!





Here we are at Cherry Springs Vista, an amazing place to view the rolling hills of Potter County, even in sub-zero temperatures!



I'm definitely not finished playing with this beautiful collection! I have several more Wanderer projects and plans in the works that I'll be sharing throughout the next few weeks, I can't wait! In the meantime, be sure to check out the rest of the Wanderer Tour stops! Here's the full list...
