Great to see what’s been done with an Oakshott Scandinavia giveaway via Leanne ‘She can Quilt’.
NERO’S POST AND PATCH
by Teje Karjalainen
Really interesting post about the design and set up process by Teje who is from Finland but based in Greece.
Nod to Gee's Bend in Colourshott
We’ve just had a pic from Quilt Paradigm, or Judy Murphy, of her use of a Fat Eighth of Colourshotts. She’s called it Nod to Gee’s Bend and her two posts are a great walk through the design process, first on What? Another WIP? and then the pre-quilting shots on A Nod to Gee’s Bend or Tribute to FLW?
The entire quilt is Oakshott Colorshotts. The borders on the sides was leftover fabric from Off Course! The quilting plan is some straight line quilting following the sewing lines in the triangles and squares and then some FMQing on the borders. I’m pretty excited about getting this one finished! The strips finish at 1 inch. Took awhile to sew this one! 🙂
Looking forward to seeing the final quilting.
Gone in Ruby Reds and Metro
Monika Huelsebusch in Germany has a wonderful eye for colour combinations and here’s the evidence:
Monica’s accompanying email says:
Thank you for these beauties!
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for your beautiful fabrics! The colors are so brilliant! I love how they go together.
From a bundle of Fat Eighths of Ruby Reds and Metro I made this wall hanging (90 cm x 100 cm) with the name GONE. It reminds me of someone special.
and this photo really shows the texture; so thank you, Monika.

Lynne says:
Scandinavia is a line of shot cottons shot with cream so that they create a beautiful gentle palette and I am so excited to see what everyone is going to do with them.
The blog hop stops are listed out below and I hope you enjoy the inspiration you find there. Bear in mind that different time zones may mean that the posts appear later on in the day.
