Look what Kelly sent me, for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt, that I’m dreaming about making. 🥰😍
These are pieces from a vintage basket panel — perfect. 👏
I’ll treasure them, Kelly - thanks so much!! 🤗💙💖

I’ve been pulling some fabrics, from my stash, for upcoming quilt projects. 🥰

⭐️ Definitely need to get more golds & dark blue tone on tones to make that quilt.
⭐️ The pretty black with roses is the colour inspiration for the next patchwork project.
⭐️ Dark & light scrap squares (not in the picture) for the Scraps Galore 3 quilt - I’m loving the design of the next in the series. 👏

I ❤️ Patchwork!

Today’s #FabricFriday features a special textile from the Yoruba people in Nigeria. This tunic is part of the Engungun masquerade dance costume, worn during an annual ceremony to honor ancestors. It is made of various cotton cloths, woven locally by hand and dyed with indigo. #museums #costume #dance #Nigeria
