So another book I also brought home with me is Kim's new book, Simple Charm.

Again it is just gorgeous.

I really want to make this one and I think it is small enough to achieve, considering I am so busy!!

and what about this one too?

Check with your local shop to see if they can get it for you. There are 12 projects in the book and the pictures are just wonderful.

There are more photos here on the Martingale site.

I love the way Kim uses the scrappy look to make such beautiful quilts and I love the way they make me feel!! I could sit and look all day!! (really then I should be sewing!) I was lucky enough to take a class with Kim last year and she is really inspiring.

What are you waiting for?

Have a great weekend

Cheers

I was so excited to be able to pick up a copy of The Quilted Crow Girl's new book, released at Spring Market in Kansas City.

Elegant Quilts, Country Charm is one of the most gorgeous books I have seen.

It is filled with the most divine quilts and projects and I have definitely put them on my to do list! Here are a couple!!

  Do yourself a huge favour and find this book!!

until Linda and I are on our way to Kansas City in the USA for our adventure at Spring Quilt Market!!!

I think I have packed everything, if not then I will just have to buy it!! (except for my samples of course, maybe I need to go and double check)

I am looking forward to meeting Roseann and Kelly Ann and catching up with Asne and Astrid. It will be a whirlwind trip but I can recover when I get home!!

If you are going to be there, please drop by my booth 2428 and say hello!!

I was so excited last year to discover this new magazine when I was in the US. I was doubly excited to see the girls at Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. So imagine my delight when I submitted a project and it was accepted to be published in the summer issue.

Cranberry Cottage
