Go for it! I'm too scared to start a quilt ~ I would love one for the bottom of my bed and I have loads of beautiful fabric, but like yourself, I imagine I would have spasms working on it and it may end up being a lap quilt for me in my old age!

Hi everyone

I have been sorting all my boxes of fabric and found a small piece of butterfly batic fabric, I had made my DD some drawstring bags for her room and had a small bit left so decided to play with it and made another twin heart hanger, this time I put some country spice mix inside so it smells nice too

I used the template from the sew pretty book

They are really nice, I love that fabric(I am a sucker for butterflies).
The shape of those hearts from the Tilda book are lovely too, reminds me of the shaker stuff, I can imagine them in red gingham.

Thank you Kandi, Im still trying to get the hang of rounding the tops :rotfl:and yes they will look great in red gingham, I too love the shaker look

Im still unsure of doing too much as Im still learning but getting there and hope one day to attempt more from the book
Forgot to add, you now know where my avitar pic comes from

Really like that. The fabric is lovely.

Has anyone got the Amy Butler In Stitches book? Ive ordered it from my library but not sure if its more interior design stuff rather than sewing projects. It doesnt tell you much in the library descriptions...
