PATCHWORK and BOOKS

 A glimpse of some pretty patches I am working on....all will be revealed shortly hopefully within the next week or two.  Amongst these patches is an old shirt of mine, a childs dress that I cut up, another shirt ,a bit of Tilda and some little scraps given to me by an old aunt of my husbands'.
Questo è un piccolo assagio di un lavoro che voglio portare al termine questa settimana....spero.Fra i piccoli patch c'è un vestito di una bambina ,un paio di camicie mie, qualche pezzetto di Tilda e pezzetti di stoffa recuperato da una Zia di mio marito.
This is how I pieced the colours together like a puzzle.
I pezzi sono pronto da cucire insieme....


 A little book found on Amazon ...very cheap...nice ideas for making little quilts.Contains all the pattern pieces.


Un piccolo libro comprato su Amazon....buon prezzo....contiene tutto le sagome per realizare i piccoli quilts.

  3. Hi Alison! Just visiting your blog for the first time. Love your hexagons and looking forward to seeing what they will become. I have a hexie UFO that needs some attention. Every time I see someone working on hexagons, I want to get it out but I have sooo many UFOs. :-) Great new books that will inspire many new quilt projects I think.
