A Charming Kate Spain Lattice Quilt

Oh, what a wonderful swap this was to be involved in.  Thank You to Miss Midge for organising this and for giving us the chance to win more lovelies like this by linking with you.

I was so excited to receive my charms in the post and I then decided after watching a Missouri Quilt Tutorial on the Lattice Quilt what I would do.  I did change the size of my lattice to what was given in this tutorial

These are some of the fabrics 

 I then decided that I needed a few more charms to make this quilt as big as I needed so I went into my stash and added a few more of the Kate Spain Fabric and I also added a few more charms which went in well with the fabrics.  This is mainly all Kate's fabrics.  I decided to use white Emma Louise for the Lattice and most of the border.

Changed to Black and White for Value Test

I am waiting of another pack of Daydreams charms and Daydream Memory ink for Binding.  I just love how this is coming to life.

I am planning on using this lovely Aurifil to create a beautiful cable in the lattice and cross stitch with a neutral in the squares.  This will all be hand quilted in No 12wt

Thanks for the opportunity to do this swap and for following the development of this quilt.

Until Next time enjoy your quilting adventures

Having lots of fun with Kate Spain Fabric!

Well I just cannot believe that I haven't written anything for three weeks!

I have been a little busy with a few projects and a bit down on myself so I think this new quilt is going to change all of this around

Kate Spain Charms

In May I was invited to join in a swap of Kate Spain Fabric.  This would give me 112 charm squares!  Wow this fabric is just delightful and I thought why not.  Now after I received these fabrics I new who the recipient of this quilt would be but wasn't sure of the design. Until I watched Missouri Quilts Lattice Quilt .  I then purchased some lovely white by Emma Louise white to become my sashing.

I decided that I needed this quilt bigger so I have cut some more charms to add and I am making my sashing a little bit wider than in the tutorial.

Look how this is coming along

So you can see I had lots of fun today, and I just love how this is coming together! So tonight I will return to hand quilting at the frame on Love Calms the 

Seas.

Stay tuned for the next update which I promise will be sooner than 3 weeks! Remember to take time and enjoy the smell of the roses!

Until next time,

Wendy
