Dorothy Quilt

Hello dear blog friends......here is the finished dorothy quilt looking very cosy......
.......it is made with tilda windy days fabrics and tilda tea towel stripes.......
......i'm very pleased with how it turned out and loved hand quilting it.......
.......you can find the pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar......it is called dorothy because the lady with the umbrella and her little dog reminded us of my husband's aunt........
.........what could be nicer on a cold wintry day than to cosy up with a quilt, cup of tea and good book or a bit of crafting.....
.........my next project is my hexagon flower garden made from liberty prints.........
....this is my evening hand sewing at the moment.......the cute little tiny basket is from the white company....
.....the hexagon flower quilt pattern is also in my etsy shop, as is the love token below....a sweet gift for a stitching friend for valentine's day....or any time at all.....
......we have enjoyed some bright winter walks this week, including on our local beach......
.....late afternoon sun making the view magical.......you can't see our crazy little white dog racing round just out of shot, but she was there .....she adores beach walks.....
........lots of hints of spring here too.......so happy these auriculas are flowering again on my window sill....love these sweet flowers very much........
...........thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for the kind comments which are so appreciated.......wishing you all a happy, sunny, creative week ahead......keep well lovelies....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lovely quilt, the fabrics you've chosen are fabulous in the way they carry the rainy, but fun mood.

I LOVE the Dorothy quilt, and the colors.. and the cute blocks with her and her dog! What a cute name for the quilt! You are lucky to be getting some flowers already.. though today we are having a spring like day.. sunny, blue skies and warm, almost 60 degrees. So rare for here! And how fun to be close to the beach to take some beach walks. Have a great upcoming week, and your hexi quilt is so so pretty! Hugs.. Marilyn
