Spell it with Moda Quilt Top

So it's been more than a little while since I last posted, I meant to post, and then all of a sudden a few weeks had gone by and then it was basically a month.  I've been super busy with work, guides and gym.  It's also gotten bitterly cold here lately, it was still below zero at 8.30 yesterday morning, freezing!

I've been working on Mermaid pose at yoga, I'm pleased with how far I've come with it.



It's such a wonderful stretch and lots of fun to sit in for a while.

I'd been thinking about making a 'Spell it with Moda' quilt ever since the blog hop came out a few years ago however I just never got around to it.  That was until I decided to break into my precious 'Make Life' by Sweetwater Jelly Roll, because it's only fabric right?  I'm so glad I did because I love the results!

I also branched out of my comfort zone and used a charcoal for the background, I normally stick to white or light colours so this pushed my boundaries but I seriously love how it turned out.

I loved making up the filler blocks, it was so much fun and adds that extra personal touch to the quilt.  I also really need to make a dwell quilt, it's moved much higher up on my list lately.

Birthday Giveaway!

So I turned 23 yesterday, I'm pleased to say that overall 22 was a great year.  I think the past twelve months have really given me a chance to get to know myself better.  It sure has thrown up some challenges however I've come into 23 much stronger, healthier and happier than I went into 22.

Saying that I think my highlight of the year came last week when I nailed the splits at yoga.

I also got Gertie's books for my birthday.  I seriously can't wait to get stuck into them, I think I have about twenty things I want to make from them already!  While I haven't gotten too stuck into them just yet I love how well they are made.  Spiral bound books really are wonderful!

I mean just look at how wonderful they are.

Seriously can't wait to get stuck in, just look at this dress!

Anyway onto the giveaway....  It's no secret I'm a massive fan of Susan of Measure Twice, Cut Once's bra kits.  I've made my very first bra and a stunning Watson from her kits and can't speak highly enough of them and today I'm sharing the birthday love and giving you a chance to have one of your own.

The best bit is you get your choice between a purple or blue kit.  I'm seriously in love with them both.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment stating which colour you'd prefer and a way for me to contact you and you're entered. Saying that I would love it if you'd follow me either on Bloglovin', Facebook or Instagram.

Details - Giveaway is open worldwide, entries close April 23rd 2016

Disclaimer - This giveaway was not sponsored, I purchased the kits myself, I'm just a serious fan wanting to share the love :). Seriously check them out.
