Being at home, I've been doing a lot of online shopping. Here is my most recent acquisition. "Simple Quilt". It's an inspiring book to make you want to quilt. Isbn : 4-14-031137-1. See more info here.
Here is my "sew i knit" project. I just made a simple hot pad - same instructions as a quilt but smaller. Here are my pictures step by step. I did this while the baby was in her bouncer and since I had limited time I didn't iron at all. I think it came out okay...a bit sloppy but okay. I quilted straight lines across - a simple design.
It's lovely, Joyce!!

It's very cute. I like how the squares are not aligned together, gives the patchwork a modern edge.

Really cute. Love how the lines don't all match up and the simple quilting. Really nice.

It is so lovely. So complementary to the japanese style that inspired.

I love that the lines don't match too, I really like the 'unplanned' look.
