Quilt Palette Inspiration

I love the inspiration palette derived from this photo of a spent banksia flower. Which colour would you use as the background fabric?


March BOM Pattern Test

It's the 15th! So it is block pattern release day!
I love BOM block pattern release days! 
I pattern tested the snail today and uploaded the patten to the private Facebook group where I host the BOM. I love the simplicity of this block!
I like to keep the BOM group small and participation current, so I frequently remove people from the group if they aren't sharing progress, so at the moment it is a group of about 30 people which is perfect.  


Cheaper to buy & adapt than make from scratch!

Today I bought a $12 Kmart handbag, removed the strap and used it to turn the bag into a bike handlebar pack!
It's perfect!
It's sad that it's cheaper to do this than buy the resources and make one from scratch but at least I have more time for cycling this way! 
Have you ever converted something store bought with a simple sewing hack?
 

Some progress isn't about stitching!

I've been working on my EPP quilt for two months and I finally remembered to buy cardstock so I can print templates in bulk instead of cutting them from old cereal boxes etc. 😆🤣😅 the quilt is over half finished!

I'm super organised in some ways but I'm also that person that's happy to 'make do' so it wasn't really bothering me,  but now that the template PDF is created and printed on cardstock I am excited about the potential for future projects! And at least I'm ready before I start the next EPP project! 

What's something you've been meaning to deal with or do but keep forgetting about or procrastinating over?

This is your sign to go do it now.
