Purple Parade finish!

I feel like I have been away for a long time..and in fact have not blogged for a very long time. I am still here....and actually have been getting some sewing in now and again!

My finish:  Purple Parade...

I tried straight line quilting for this one, on the diagonal. I didn't have a Hera marker (gotta get me one of those!) but used the edge of my sewing machine screw driver to make a light mark to follow...

The back is a mauve fabric, with a few of the leftover blocks from the front.


I think purple is my new favourite colour!


My daughter was home for a couple of weeks....so I had a little helper with me...Zoe...isn't she cute!


So I am going to link up to TGIFF and go over and see what inspiration there is in everybody else's finishes.  Have a good weekend!

  2. A great finish Flo, purple seems to be the "it" color this season. I see it everywhere, guess I better add so me to my stash. I haven't tried the hera marker either.
