Triangle Quilt Along: Triangle Fabric Mountains

Here's the mini quilt I made for the Triangle Quilt Along. Inspired by the mountains where I live, I couldn't resist having the photos taken at the Lake. Of course I chose a very windy day! We risked the quilt flying away a few times and I had to borrow a jacket from Ella because it was freezing! 


This is Lake Maggiore, in the north of Italy. You can see Isola Madre (Mother Island) in front of the mountains. The sun was setting and a storm was coming... Only a few hours earlier it was sunny and warm, in case you were wondering!




Title: Triangle Fabric Mountains mini quilt:
Size:  20.5" x 20.5", with 119 3" triangles
Fabrics: mainly Ever Kelly's Storybook Lane for Andover Fabrics
Quilt design: my own!
No binding!


The quilting is just around the mountains and the "cloud" machine embroidery on the white background fabric.


Just added this photo to prove how windy it was! Thank you to Daniele Di Ciccio for managing to take these great photos in such difficult conditions. And thank you to Ella for helping!


Joining the final link up over at Paula's The Sassy Quilter. She's been fantastic, encouraging and posting very clear tutorials for the Triangle Quilt Along. Thank you Paula!

Rainy Cloud Mobile and Ever Kelly fabric

Ever since I bought Ever Kelly's Storybook Lane fabrics and patterns, I've been wanting to make a cloud mobile with the "Curvy Stripe" fabric. At last I've come up with this. I hung it up last night near Lucy's changing table and surprised her when I first changed her this morning!


Mobiles are a really fun way for teaching toddlers new words and concepts. Even if they were completely useless, I'd still love mobiles! I'm a massive fan, starting from Alexander Calder... I was very lucky to have the possibility of seeing an exhibition of Calder's work at the Pompidou in Paris. It was incredible, unforgettable.


Back to Storybook Lane Patterns, I have to get a move on because at the moment I've only made two finger puppets and this zippered house pouch! They are really fun and I have two girls who can't wait to play with the whole set! 




I'm hoping Kelly Lee-Creel @ Ever Kelly will soon come up with another creative fabric collection soon!
