Hi Kim, this is one of the over 160 spools I got Shirlene to post to me years ago, I've still got thousands and thousands of metres of gorgeous threads! Love Chris
313688A great quilt, would love to make one, but not willing to work this hard, not sure if I am tired or lazy.
2735633640Oh my goodness Chris. This is going to be outstanding.

Hi Sarah, yes, I'm loving it already, but don't expect to finish it too soon. I've got a lot of things to do between looking after Mum and once the kids have left our place, then maybe I'll get more done. Love Chris
253102This is going to be one gorgeous quilt. Love the added color too. The corners remind me of peacock tails, which are beautiful.

Yes Toogie, I think like that too. The corner blocks look like a Peacock tail. I've done another one yesterday (Saturday) with the same gold leaf fabric. I'll be putting them in amongst the rows to break up the navy. Love Chris
109038This is going to be a great quilt Chris. What make of gold are you using please?

Hi Caroline, yes, I had a great sleep, but was dreaming of cooking for Mum. So this morning I went over to put on a Crock pot of Lamb Shanks for her for dinner tonight. It was smelling lovely when I left her place at lunch time. Love Chris
P.S. I've put on a couple of pictures of the yellow/gold thread
114288Wow!! I hope you found a large gold spool also ;-) It looks fabulous. I do like that design!

Thanks Caroline and wow, it's obviously a bit cold over in good old Wales. It's 25C here today, but we are expecting some cold weather over the weekend. Love Chris
114288Would you please share the name of this quilt set? is it one set or a combination of different sets? I can't find it on Sweetpea.

I have tried copying but its not working. Check out the previous post from Chris on this great quilt she is making and you will see/read its more than one design. Currently its night time in Australia hence the lack of reply.

Sorry Teresa, I have only come on to the computer about an hour ago (it's 2.20pm Thursday as I reply) and I see you posted this 9 and a half hours I ago, I was in bed.
I'm at Mum's every morning and don't get home till after lunch time.
This is the Moroccan Quilt Design, of which I've done the 6 designs, I've chosen one of the Bloom Delight Quilt designs and today I'm adding a couple of the the Delft Blue designs. Love Chris
These are in the quilt designs on the Sweetpea Embroidery website.

Thank you for your response. I realize that we are on opposite sides of the world and you were sleeping when I posted my question. With the quilt set names, I should be able to find what I want. Thanks again.

Does Sweetpea ever run sales? Their prices are beyond what I can afford to spend but I love their designs.

Check the site regularly and maybe what you want will appear. Remember too that the prices are probably Au dollars not USA dollars

It is a beautiful day in Melbourne too; unfortunately we are confined inside, by luck we have a spacious backyard.

Grazie and ciao Roberta, per fortuna, abbiamo un grande giardino anche. Riesco a sentire i miei nipoti ridere nella riserva posteriore, mentre andare in bicicletta!! Amore Chris
