Leanne's Quilt

Someone always tries to jump into a photo............
I fell in love with this range...........Martinique by 3Sisters................I held off buying some fabric......I already have way to much other fabric here..............BUT when Leanne came to visit she brought me a kit for this quilt using Martinique............the quilt kit and pattern came from Hetties Patch (a great shop in Adelaide - I will get to visit one day) it is a great quick quilt to make.............
So of course it was Leanne's fault always have to find someone to blame for fabric purchases I brought some more Martinique...........I had to get binding and backing while there got carried away on some more of this range I am yet to use but I will soon...............thanks Leanne I love it...............
Bec - Homestead Quilting did a beautiful job on the quilting..............thanks heaps..........
Catch you later..............

That would be totally annoying to have someone always jumping into a photo.... she's obviously not camera shy at all! ;) Lovely quilt... though!! Maybe next time you should give 'said photo crasher' the camera so there's NO CHANCE! ;)

It's fantastic! I love the colours - Hettie's is a great shop - very dangerous though - you can come away with a very big dent in your credit card....
