Let's Bee Social #66

Welcome Friends!  It is once again Wednesday.
And time for the Let's Bee Social linky party!

In honour of April Fool's Day, please check out this post from the past.  It's all about the time I made it!  Cover of a Quilting Magazine.  Miley ain't got nothing on me.  I guarantee it will either make your day or scare you away!


Happy Mail!!!  A pile of Kona Cotton Solids from Mad About Patchwork.
This Kona Cotton purchase was made in preparation for the Giraffe Love quilt I showed you last Wednesday.  For the Background: Ice Frappe, Pond, Pool, Breakers, Cyan & Oasis.  For the Giraffes there is Sunny & Cedar.  Cactus, Peapod & Grass are for the Leaves.

These Kona Cotton Solids have been chosen for the Giraffe Love baby quilt.


All my pieces were cut on Saturday. The piecing was started on Monday.

Lovely giraffes in the new quilt. I might just make one too, and use it as a yoga mat: all that stretching!

Val's Quilting Studio said...

Oh Lorna...I think you have found your "genre" of quilt pattern making...the giraffes are adorable!

The Cozy Pumpkin said...

How funny. I'm working with almost the exact same fabric for my current project.

Jayne said...

Awwww, love that gorgeous stack of solids! I'm working on a sweet little girlie girl quilt ~ the fabric is totally opposite of my norm. Seeing that stack makes me drool!

Lara B. said...

Good Golly, It's Lorna! Every time i see that post it cracks me up! I Love that you are OUR Quilting Fool Lorna!
Those are a lot of my favorite Kona Colors and they look wonderful together! This is going to be another awesome quilt!

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh! Those colors and that pattern, how adorable! I can't wait to see it all come together :)

KaHolly said...

Too funny! But that giraffe's not, it's adorable. Still working on Elephant Parade! Am down to making just one more block - Mr. Turtle, and I've already started sewing the rows together. Once completed, it gets packed in my luggage for the long trek back to CapeBreton, where it will get in line at the Janome to be finished. I only had one goal for March, and it didn't get done because the elephants were too much fun!

Renee said...

This is such a cute pattern! Great choice of fabrics for it.

Afton Warrick said...

What a load of fabric eye-candy! The pattern is great too, so I can't imagine that the quilt won't be epic.

Anja @ Anja Quilts said...

Love that pile of Kona. And giraffes are pretty darn cute.

Kathleen said...

Love this quilt!!

GranChris said...

Just wonderful. I need some of your energy.

Leanne Parsons said...

That was a great joke post, Lorna!! Your fabrics are so beautiful, and I love the giraffe pattern. All you animals have been so cute!

I can't wait to see your giraffes in fabric. You come up with such adorable critter quilts!
