I have been trying for days to take a photo of my latest quilt Chocolate Wheel, but RAIN!!!! It doesn't seem to stop! To think, last year we were in drought....
I don't know if you have ever tried to photograph a quilt before, but I find this one of the hardest tasks, probably because I can never find the right setting. I walk past Miss Trail's house every morning, and at last found the courage to ask if I could photograph there, as there is a brilliant old wagon just right for Chocolate Wheel. This is an historic house in town with gorgeous gardens and is only 2 blocks from my shop, so perfect for a quick photo shoot between storms. Thankfully the carers said YES, so ....
...and some close-ups....
The patterns are FINALLY ready....aaaaaahhh....now it's time to partake in the REAL chocolate.... a fitting way to end the writing of a new pattern ;)
Just a quick note too, thanks everyone SO MUCH for your words of wisdom in regards to helping me decide how to package the new stitheries I am working on. There have been a few mixed views, but I think it was overwhelming the support for tracing yourself. I was very surprised, as I was ALMOST going to go down the path of pre-printed, so THANK YOU. At this point, I am thinking of doing transfers for those who can't stand tracing, but have a hard copy of the pattern (like I do in all of my stitchery patterns) for retracing.
Until next time,
Anni

Your quilt is beautiful and different...which is probably one of the reasons I like it so well. Yay on the photographs, they look so great!

love the chocolate wheel and I am sure I have found a quilt my 23 year old son might like me to make for him.

Looking forward to my visit.

ciao Anni,
i am in love with this quilt.
At "the home patch" there is the pattern, but it is also written that the kit is available for 178 $.
the problem is you can only order the pattern.
how can i buy the kit please?
hugs
Francesca

The quilt and the photos are stunning. I'd love to see a kit for that quilt.
