Far far away....starting another project

I have lots of fabulous neices.  Two of them have had a particularly rough year.  While I am yet to start a planned quilt for the Niece E, I decided to leap frog over hers and start something for Niece S first.

I bought the Lewis and Irene, Threaded with Love Town and Country fabric below, the one with the great houses and trees some months ago.  I loved it so much I went back for an extra 2m...so this has inspired my colour choices.  The rain clouds will go in....into every life some rain will fall...but rain also brings new life

Then I saw this and decided it would be the perfect design.  I can't wait for my copy of the book to arrive so have guesstimated measurements and will work on each picture square at 5inches finished.

Finally I have gathered up a variety of choices out of my stash, that I thought might appeal to Niece S ..how many frogs must we kiss till we find a prince....and in the meantime some of us might hope to run far far away....away from domestic chores....but sooner or later the sweet fruits of summer will return.


Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can get this one completed faster than some of the others I a working on!
