Tuesday - Mail Day

Tuesday seems to be THE day for great parcel deliveries and today was no exception.


The Yarn:  Anzula Cloud - Hand Dyed Yarn
The Fabric:  Classic Moda  - Chicken Wire

This delivery inspired a rummage through my fabric stash and a flash of  the rotary cutter.


And so here is the start a new quilt project:


This one is a bit of a personal challenge.  I am turning down the volume on color/pattern; instead focusing on subtle shades highlighted by a a sprinkling of color.  The plan will undoubtedly evolve as I spend more time working on this project.

More soon,
Rita

  8. I don't know if you remember the old Australia Post TV ad about the days of the week, but it said in that that more mail gets delivered on a Tuesday than any other day, and it must be true, because I got quite a few packages today too.

  12. How totally lovely are grey shades with mustardy yellow shades?! Yes, a real tone down for you but still as lively and impacting as your colour bombshells. I hope you whip this up quickly as I am eager to see it! That chickenwire fabric is the best. xx Fi
