I've also agreed to pattern test for a couple of my quilty friends - these don't need to be done until mid-late January, so I'll have
First up, I'm pattern testing for the uber talented Jess - making her Lucky Square quilt in the twin size. This will be for my little girl - and I'm using my Sherbet Pips stash (plus a few other Aneela Hoey fabrics). Jess's used a much wider range of colours, so I'll be interested to see how it looks in a more restricted palette.
And then my gorgeous and talented friend Alyce asked if I'd test her first full size pattern (which is seriously fab!). Cue my FMF stash, plus a few other Denyse Schmidt prints. I'm deciding on background still (probably ash or white), but I'm really excited about this one too!
I also have bee blocks a plenty to catch up on, so I'm going to be busy, busy, busy for the next couple of months!
Oh, and please check out my Massive Aurifil Giveaway happening right now - it's open until next Monday.
Linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced (button in sidebar) - and looking forward to seeing what everyone is up to!
xx Jess

Ooh, cute projects. I am pattern testing Lucky Square as well - looks like a fun pattern and I can't wait to get started! I am also very interested to see how it turns out with a more restricted colour palette.
Ooh I've had a sneak peek of Alyce's new pattern and i think it'll look amazing in those fabrics!
Love the Read panels too!
That's quite a list to start in December! Can't wait to see!
It should look great in those colours!!!
I pattern tested the "Read" library bag AND I'm a teacher! Your children's teachers will love the bags! And how exciting to make TWO new quilts! They are going to be fabulous!
you are one busy lady! *distracts you with shiny things and swipes DS stash*
You are busy. Don't forget to enjoy Christmas too. Di x
The "Read" bags are just perfect for teachers! And the new quilts are going to be lovely too!
Look forward to seeing your new quilts, pattern testing is such fun isn't it!?
And the teacher gifts- great! Lucky teachers!!
Yup, that'll keep you busy for a while! You're putting the fear of god into me though, my machine is actually a couple of months past its annual service and I know it needs to go in in January, but I'm afraid I'll not get it back like this!
You are going to be busy! I'mm looking forward to seeing those quilts :)
I'm having a panic attack at just the thought of not having my sewing machine to hand, hope you get it back soon as it sounds as though your going to need it sooner than later :-)
Love those read bag fronts!
