However, yesterday I received the last remaining fabric I had ordered. When I held the giveaway a week or so ago, I had to order myself some of the Moroccan Mirage in the Marrakech colourway. If you haven`t ordered from The Intrepid Thread before, then this is what you find inside your envelope and a handwritten card from Julie.
and here`s the Moroccan Mirage...
Yes - some pink again. I was planning to use it for the Duo QAL but I`m still thinking on that. It was fun reading your comments on my bright pink quilt a couple of days ago. I had no idea I used so much pink. I certainly don`t ever wear it. From your comments it seems our quilting styles depend on a variety of things - where we live, where we come from and our mood. In a recent swap questionnaire, I requested no Barbie pink. Should the administrator stumble across this blog, they`ll wonder what planet I`m on. My mum arrives this weekend and she has her beady eye on that quilt, so it may be heading home with her.
I was super super excited to receive flikr mail today from the administrator of The 4 x 5 Modern Quilt Bee accepting the application I hurried off this morning to join the group. Yes - I am finally in a Bee! They are taking applications for the 4th quarter and I believe there are still spaces should you want to join. So I get to pick 3 colours and each quarter I will make 5 blocks in the other members` colours and receive 5 blocks in my colours. By the end of the year, I will have 20 blocks to make a quilt. I am in awe of the talent in the group and can`t wait to see who is in my hive. First, I have to choose 3 colours for my blocks and I`m thinking of something different. I have to be specific about colours. I can`t just say blue or pink. I have to say aqua or raspberry, for example. So what would you choose? I need ideas!
