  • Oh look *another* shiny new hobby

    I’m still here, I’ve just been on vacation!

    I went on a fabric shop hop with my SO’s mum, she quilts and after looking at so many cotton prints I think I am starting to get the quilting bug as well.

    But, it being me I don’t want to do something simple and easy. The idea of “my first quilt” is not appealing for me.

    So I have been pondering two projects, one slightly easier than the other, but both being more than just basic squares.

    Lady_of_Shalott_Waterhouse
    The Lady of Shalott by Waterhouse

    I have loved this painting forever, but somehow missed what she was sitting on.
    The quilt would be fun to make, I could use images from various book of hours for each section and get as detailed as I could want.

    The slightly more crazy project is this:

    Mucha,_Alfons_-_Prinzessin_Hyazinthe_-_1911
    Prinzessin Hyazinthe 1911 by Alfons Mucha

    I would simplify a few things, but yay detail and texture!

    The draw back of both of these is of course, I have a ton of pattern making ahead of me.
