patchworking my heart out

Greetings all,
Voila, a sneak peek at two quilt tops i'm making for 8y.o. twins.  The mother has gorgeous taste & with her English & Euro heritage, loved the idea of a bohemian classic colourful patchwork for her daughter (Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner are perfection) & a vintage blue/ red combination (hello Cath Kidston) for her son.  I snuck in a little bit of Paris & London to the mix, as they speak French too!!  Each quilt is over 2m square, made from 196 squares, so they'll have these huge quilts for so many purposes throughout their lives.
Just in case i didn't have enough fabric at my finger tips, i went shopping over at Retro Mummy on the weekend & check it out . . . Japanese printed fabic glory!!  Some different colours to add to my bolts & beautiful Parisian scenes - street scape, balloons, patchwork, ahhhhh. 
Check out Corrie's sweet family Retro Mummy blog too, i spy a chocolate giveway on right now!! 
Do pikelets ever disappoint, especially on a rainy post-party afternoon??  What an easy recess filler, only it's too easy to eat half a dozen as you make them. 
Ok, head down bottom up, more sewing for this weekend.  Don't forget to enter the Father's Day fabric GIVEAWAY or Canberra folks - Handmade & Mathilda's Markets are both on this weekend.  Love Posie
