Back to work

I'm back from my holiday in Torquay, South Devon. I tried not to think about work but I've only got 1 month of summer left I still have a ton of things to do, other than working on my project. I'm happy with the progress of my work, hopefully I can keep this up and get everything done in two weeks.

Still working with hexagons, and the samples I've created from the fabrics I bought from Saints & Pinners are working fantastic. On Wednesday I'll do the photography part of my project, hopefully the weather is good and I can get some good shots.

Also today I realised I need to get back to sewing, I planned to sew some summer dresses but as always nothing ever go to plan. Maybe after I've finished this project I'll sew some cute stuff :)

Beautiful fabrics!!

I got these beautiful fabrics in the mail today. Ah I love them, so excited to make hexagons out of them. I really love the bright colours and how the colours of each fabric links to the other.

I got these fabrics from http://www.saintsandpinners.co.uk/ in the sale section. They are 50 x 53cm, which was a good bargain from the price of £1.80. Also the delivery was very fast, I made my order on Thursday July 8th and received them today. So I will definitely order from them again.

Bournville Holiday Project: hexagons

My first attempt at creating samples for my Bournville Holiday Project went well but I wasn't a 100% happy. So I took inspiration from quilters and did some hexagon inspired samples. And I'm a lot happier :)

I think I'll continue in this direction.

Bournville Holiday Project: Textiles Update

These are the samples I've done so far for the Textiles part of my Bournville Holiday Project. Obviously they could be better, but the inspiration is not there.
Hopefully it will come back. However these are inspired by quilting artist I've been following here on blogger, especially her http://www.texasfreckles.com/

Sample size: 5"
