Bloggers are the BEST!

Have you ever seen such a cute magazine cover...well LUCKY ME..I am now the proud owner of this magazine...and YES, the fox pattern is inside this magazine!  I've never made a stuffy before but if ever there was a stuffy that I WANTED to make, it's this sweet little guy!

 So to make a long story short...Krista from Poppyprint Creates Blog had a pattern published in this Australian magazine,"HOMESPUN"..and after emailing back and forth...I ended up purchasing a copy off of her!
                                               
There is even a lovely FULL PAGE article on Krista...yup Poppyprint is famous! She really spilled the DIRT...it IS, after all, a garden quilt that she made!  :o))

This quilt called  'Cutting Garden' has got to be the happiest and most cheerful quilt EVER!  This would be the perfect quilt to cheer up a friend, a loved one, a baby, a young girl or someone who loves to garden...heck, it would cheer up anyone!

 It is Jelly Roll friendly...and LOOK at all those amazing colours!  This would be a great quilt to do with friends...so that you could SHARE fabric.  If you took the colours...red, blue purple, green, yellow and pink...and each bought one piece of fabric in each of the colours...cut them into 2 1/2" strips and then shared, you would have a wide variety to start with!  How fun would that be!

And...LOOK at what I found sitting in my 'Dog Daze Quilt' tote...WAITING to be used (well actually it was waiting to be put away...)...yummy leftovers ...and lord knows what I'll find in my stash?!  Looks like I have a great start for my 'Cutting Garden' bin!

                                                       

This is going to be a FUN one to make...a real FEEL GOOD quilt if ever there was one!

AND like all good magazines, there were other projects that caught my eye...like THIS adorable pillow!  

 Oh man, those Australian quilters know how to stitch!!

 And I don't know how often I have said I wish I had a pattern for ants or lady bugs or dragon flies?!  Now I have a pattern for each...including the cutest grasshopper and butterfly!

So THANK YOU, Krista for coming to my pattern rescue!!  Congratulations on getting published AGAIN!!  (Krista has even written a FANTASTIC BOOK...which you can read about HERE!!)  Yup, little Poppy Print has done well for herself...and I predict she is going to SOAR because you just can't hold good talent down!  

Have a magical Monday and Happy Stitching!~P
