Quilting

I went to the Festival of Quilts 2012 at Birmingham NEC recently for work and was amazed at the variety and quality of the (very many!) designs on show. It was absolutely crowded and by the time I left, my head was spinning from information overload. Here are some my favourite quilts from the day (taken on my phone so please excuse the blurry nature of the photos).

I think I'd like to live in one of the houses in this quilt - very idyllic looking

This is my favourite design, I love how realistic it looks

Wish I could sew like this!

Everyone loves a landscape

New designs

It's been a bit quiet round here for a few months as I've been busy working on a new and exciting craft magazine that will be launched in February 2013... more of which later. 
I've also been cracking on with some new product designs for Panda Perdu, including a rather snazzy zip-top tote/cross-body bag which I'm quite excited about. Here 'tis:

You can't actually see the zip closure in this photo but trust me, it's pretty cool

The birdie applique design is something else I'm a bit proud of, he's quite a chubby little thing isn't he?!
