Meadowlark

Finally I have finished this quilt made with Lynette's gorgeous fabric "Hollyhock Cottage". The pattern is all done and ready to go!

Meadowlark small

I absolutely LOVE this range (for it features my favourite colour blue!!)

This quilt will be at "Jeff's Shed" next week from the 25-29th July with Nicole from Patchwork Online so come by and see it "in the flesh"!! Hollyhock Cottage has not quite reached the stores yet but it is on it's way soon! And because I am so slack and not had any competitions for a while, I am going to give away 4 copies of this pattern. All you need to do is leave a comment here on the blog. I will be back later in the week to pick some winners.

I am going away on Friday for a weekend of stitching with friends, I really should take some work with me but am so tempted to have 3 days off!! (from "work" sewing not "me" sewing!!) We'll see!!

Have a great week and good luck!

Cheers

Gail
