Have you ever had one of those days? Sure you have. Well I had one of those years. Something had to give and it was patchwork; and then of course, blogging.
In the past few weeks I have been able to return to my sewing.
In 2012 I travelled quite a bit. One of my destinations was Helsinki to see my Finnish friends Hanna and Timo. In a beautiful store called Stockmann I bought some wool and in no time at all knitted this scarf.
My hosts googled a quilt shop and took me to visit Soile where Hanna saw the quilt pictured in her blog post.
I recognised it as a design from the Material Obsession Book 1 and complimented Soile on her lovely quilt. Hanna fell in love with it and also some Philip Jacob's fabric in the shop. So it was decided that a Philip Jacobs version should be made in Australia and Soile would be responsible for the quilting the top when it reached Helsinki.
Hanne and Timo have just left after a 3 month visit to Australia and with them they took some binding, backing and this quilt top:
If you have visited my blog previously you may notice that the header has changed. It is made from Liberty prints, all donated by Meryl. She has given me a stash that I am hand piecing into a baby quilt. Thanks, Meryl.

WELCOME BACK! We have missed you. Love the colorful quilt.
Good to hear from you again! I was starting to wonder if I had imagined you! : )
You've got a lovely quilt top there. And I am starting to think I may be the only quilter who isn't also making scarves. Very pretty!
Welcome back, so good of you to stop by and say hello. What a fabulous quilt top, and a very pretty scarf as well.
I am so glad to see a post from you! I know Soile I have taken her to Lancaster fabric shopping :)
what a treat for her and it was so much fun! I am so thrilled you were able to go to her quilt shop!
