Prepping for Snape

Yvonne's gorgeous piece
Yvonne Sauvier - a really talented stitcher - came on my Life's a Bleach! workshop at the Cosy Cabin recently. We had a great (but a little smelly) day discharging and bleaching colour out of black fabric.
Yvonne then went away and added further applique, stitch and beading to her piece. Is it not fabulous?

Drunken Daisy
More playing with large Drunkard's Path blocks and combining with a simple Nine-Patch to create large interlocking flower designs. I need to think how to quilt it - lots of plain white jut asking for some free motion quilting I think - am I becoming a Modern Quilter?
