My thoughtful son gave me some African fabrics a while back and I finally made something for us. (Although I can take orders for something similar, it won't be identical - message me for details). Lots of memories.
I'll be hanging it on the wall once I've added a few tassels.

It's been a difficult year so far, but working on textiles and quilts has been a wonderful distraction. Here's a new bespoke quilt we've just finished for a little lad called Rupert. His parents have created a woodland themed nursery in bright colours. This is what we created. It uses an old patchwork design called Cathedral Steps as a basis - with a twist of course because that's how we roll at Flaky Snow! We used the QAYG (quilt as you go) sashing method and a quilt pattern based on an Orange Peel template which we moved...
