I am attending a quilting class by Camillle Roskelley next month here in Australia and have decided that I need to make a tote bag to carry all of my sewing supplies to the class in, and this small Swoon block is going to form one of the pockets.
The quilt we are making at the class is the Red Letter Day quilt and I have already been having a play around with some fabric combos. I had a bit of a Bonnie and Camille fabric stash here already as I was planning on doing a Gypsy Wife quilt at some stage using fabrics from many of their ranges, so I am going to use some of them for the Red Letter Day quilt. I really love how their fabric ranges all coordinate with each other so well - the pretty red and aqua with pops of lime, grey, orange and navy is such a fresh colour combo.
So far I have chosen some Ruby, Marmalade, Scrumptious, Happy Go Lucky and I have just ordered a FQ each of Vintage Modern and April Showers as I didn't have any of these. My friend Cat (who is also going to the class) is swapping some Bliss FQ with me too so I now have the fabrics pretty much sorted!! Linking to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.

Your swoon block is gorgeous! I am so jealous that you've got the opportunity of having a class with Camille!! The Red Letter Day pattern is really awesome!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm writing up my WIP Wednesday post and it's a Swoon too and I'm going to her workshop next month - which one are you going to? I'm going to the Castle Hill one.
ReplyDeleteI am rather jealous of all my blogging friends going to see Camille! Sadly she isn't coming to Melbourne! Have a wonderful time ( for me!)
ReplyDeletelove your swoon block, really need to make one for myself
ReplyDeleteLove that you choose different designers for your project, I try to do that and then filter out some as I quilt. In the end I mostly have all the same designer but I keep trying especially after seeing what you can do
ReplyDeleteLove that! Just love it.
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with Bonnie & Camille fabrics :) So green with envy over here that you are actually going to get to meet Camille and take a class from her. I've taken her Craftsy classes but it's not the same as live in person contact.
ReplyDeleteOooh what a gorgeous swoon block! It is perfect for a pocket. Have a wonderful time at the class, you lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteThis will be SO fun for you! Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteOh that class will be fantastic! Love the swoon block, gorgeous fabrics in it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swoon block, and I just love your fabric stack for the next project.
ReplyDeletethat really looks beautiful! I love the depth of the color in the red

What a fun idea, enjoy the class!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love all of the fabrics by Bonnie & Camille. It's so much fun to see quilts made from them. --Shannon with ModernTraditionQuilts
ReplyDeleteThat little scrappy swoon is scrumptious. I would die for a little bag with that on the pocket. Nice work :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is GORGEOUS!! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful fabrics -- such fresh and modern colors! -- I can't wait to see your version of Red Letter Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous you're going to meet Camille! I hope she comes to the southern States one day! Your Swoon block is lovely and red letter day will look great in your fabric pull.
