Yes, I'm still playing around with my new book.
Here I was thinking I'd have it ready back in July, and I'm still making things. I can't seem to stop! I am now on my fifth quilt, and have quite a few smaller things on the go also. Hmmm... I think this might have to be the last quilt. Enough is enough!!
I was given some Woolies flannels from Maywood Studio a couple of weeks ago, and just had to make a new man's quilt from them. They look very similar to the felted woven wools I love so much, but are just a little cheaper (or maybe a lot cheaper ha ha). I have been combining them both, so the woolies are the backgrounds, and the woven wools are the applique - makes it just too simple!
I stayed up 'til 2am last night to complete hand quilting one quilt from the book. Just one more to quilt to hand quilt, and then I can get organised to have the book printed - whew - what an epic.
Below is a pic of some of the woolies that came in the mail, plus a very small sneak peak at what I have made using them.
Talk soon
Anni
THose woollies look fantastic. Will have to put my hand up for your new book, my son needs a bit more of a grown up quilt on his book.

Love the woolies! I am going to NEED some of those new prints. Any idea when they are available?

Funny, my girls learned to cook because of the 'I-must-just-finish-this' attitude of their mother. Otherwise they'd have faded away by now! I shouln't think anyone will be very upset to have MORE projects when your book is finished...is a brown bear brown? do quilters like lots of ideas and projects? Ummmm....

Wow...they really do look a lot like wool!
I like what I see...

With 4 boys I find there is so little out there for boys. I I am so looking forward to this book coming out. I am sure it will be just as great as your other books! Well done Anni.
