Tuesday Stack is on Holiday

and Tuesday Spread is on!  Midget and I are home alone and this was our idea of the perfect night in. Followed by Kapiti ice creams.  You will just have to imagine how wonderful they were because there are no photos.  I hope your Tuesday was as good.

Tuesday Stack - Softly

One of the biggest quilting dilemmas for baby quilts seems to be what to do when you do not whether the baby is going to a boy or girl.  I have called this stack Softly because I can see it being made for a newborn baby - boy or girl.  The colours are soft and lower volume.

Tuesday Stack - Skulls, Pink and Grey - It Must be Good

I have a friend who love anything with skulls on it, as well as pink and grey.  So this one is for you, I had to add a little bit of lime green as well, but it is Tula so that should be ok.

Tuesday Stack - Far Far Away

I love Heather Ross fabric designs and when Far Far Away 1 was re-released (with some changes) by Windham fabrics I was excited.  This weeks Tuesday stack is based around this range.  I have added a few other prints and plains that I think play well with these fabrics.  Sorry I put two Unicorns in the stack, I could not help myself.

I am thinking about doing another Far Far Away based quilt. I made this one a few years back:

And it ended up on the cover of this magazine:

The quilt is now in Dubai with a lovely girl.

POp pOP POp - popping in Cuba Street at S'Wonderful

Ginny and Frances at S'Wonderful invited us to come over to their shop in Cuba Street for a pop-up shop within their shop.  Sort of like a play date for retail friends. 

So over the next few weeks you will find some Stitchbird goodies in town at S'Wonderful.  We love all the lovelies at S'Wonderful and often find we have the same taste in fabrics.  For those of you who do not know, S'Wonderful creates beautiful vintage inspired clothing and as well as their physical store they sell on line here (if you want to check it all out) but if you buy don't blame me!   

Tuesday Stack (but it is really Wednesday) - Glow Spring Stack

I wish I was superwoman who could pack everything into the allotted time but it does not always happen.  My yesterday was hijacked with my son's motor scooter being stolen, damaged and dumped.    As a result of that and other life things the Tuesday Stack is appearing on Wednesday (I don't think I can even say it is still Tuesday somewhere in the world).

Have I told you that I like a little yellow and pink together?  I think it looks fresh and fun and a little bit like spring in the garden (minus the weeds).

So from top to bottom:
