Happy New Deer Banner and Sunday Stash

As a present to myself (!) for Christmas I got a wonderful bundle of fabric: Indelible by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics. This collection is incredible. Now I have it in my hands (thanks to the fantastic service at Westwood Acres), I must admit it is even better than it looked in the photos I had seen! This is the first project I've used it for: 

Happy New Deer Banner! 


It's an excuse, of course, for saying Happy New Year to you all and sending you a smile! 


I was thinking of adding a real crochet doily but then I found this scrap of trim in a bag of vintage fabric my Mum gave me. The scrap was probably part of a long lost blouse and the pleats are all hand sewn.


I am happy to notice that this little banner fits in well with goal number four I set myself for 2015. A good start!


And here is the lovely bundle in it's full glory (minus the fabric I used to make the banner!)


I now have my eye on Katarina Roccella's new collection: Recollection for Art Gallery Fabrics. I'm very curious to see how quilters are going to use it. The different styles of patterns and scales of the fabrics are a sign of how different trends coexist in today's quilting.

  7. The banner makes me think of birthday cards that read 'Hippo, birdy, two ewes'. :) They were family favourites.
    Such a lovely lace trim!
    What a fun and eclectic collection of prints is in Recollection! I was not familiar with it until you mentioned it.

  8. That banner is too cute, I wish my boyfriend was still here so I could show him cause I think he'd get a kick out of it. I like that you hung it on that natural stick not just a wooden dowel.
