Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Here I was off to the post office to get wrapping stuff for the secret Santa and hey ho, I went through the village onto the motorway and headed off down the A303 to Andover - and just found myself in one of the quilt shops (Quilter's Dream) - well fancy that! I've started Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt and not exactly happy with my chosen fabrics although I loved the first choice - having chosen to do a different fabric colour for starters and is a turquiose/aqua Oriental/Asian fabric with bling! So I do have some fabrics but needed some more to tie it all in nicely. So I now have lots more Oriental bling and not so blingy ones. I'm not going to do the full size - heavens to Betsy I've had enough of big quilts lately - so this will be a lap size instead. http://quiltville.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/quiltville-winter-mystery-2015-allietare.html Er I may have added a couple of Civil War repros for a separate stash too.

Plum Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I thought Craftsy wouldn't ship to uk. They have great prices on fabrics and dash Black Fridays gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It did give the opportunity for international shipping but I had it shipped free to my friend and she is sending me the light one and I will bring home the other heavy when I am over there n June. Saved loads on the fabric alone. They still have the sale on the quilt kits they have a 12 days of christmas sale and they are in there. this one http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/benartex-bali-batiks-ivory-stone-quilt/13843?rceId=1449482593443~39wke4dg and this one http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/rjr-cats-fancy-quilt-kit/7592?rceId=1449482716462~nozakooo but I loved this one too and did not succumb http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/moda-wait-for-me-quilt-kit/7532?rceId=1449482778881~k6d59jsx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I know I've not been in here for ages, but just wanted to say I've been following all the Alietere MQ pictures being posted on Facebook - they are amazing and completed in such a short space of time too. Would love to attempt this one day. Am in awe of you attempting the MQ Valkyrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Aw thank you. I still have lots to do but have been waylaid by the log cabin. It was fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
