The Scoop: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party
The Scoop on The World’s Strangest Poop!
My daughter wants me to sew appliqué poop onto my latest quilt.
Yup. You just read that. And it’s totally true. My 10 year old daughter is on a mission to have scat immortalised on the quilt I am making for her younger brother. And what is possibly even more astonishing – my 8 year old son has declined the offer.
In my daughter’s defense, it is an animal quilt. And the poop she wants on the quilt is very specific. Wombat scat! And she has a pretty good reason……

Wild Thing(s), You Make My Heart Sing!
Ok, so that line’s been done before… Even for this exact fabric collection, by at least one other Island Batik Ambassador. But my quilt is covered in Whimsical Wild Things and this project does truly make me happy. So I’m subjecting to you to the obvious earworm anyway!
Wild Thing! Bah da da da dah! You make my heart sing! Bah da da da dah! You make eeeeverything Grooooooo-veeeey!
But I’m not just here to torture you with old rock tunes. I promised you a progress update and a look at some of my new Australian Tangram designs on my “Whimsical and Wonky” Island Batik ambassador quilt for December. So let’s go!

Better late than never, right? It’s a few days overdue, but my November Island Batik challenge quilt is finished.
The Chameleon is Back. In full Colour!
It is really nice to be presenting a rainbow quilt today – after two fun but black and white posts. I do truly love the drama of a good black and white quilt or the cuteness of a panda appliqué.

What’s not to love about a rainbow!?!

Tired Teddy Quilt Top: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party
This Kwiltin’ Koala had a big week and an even bigger weekend!
I know just how she feels! Last week I had the excitement and privilege of submitting my first finished magazine quilt pattern. I can’t wait til it gets to press and I can tell you more. Woo hoo! And then I had a weekend of two Scouting activities with the kids and my brother’s 40th birthday party! So this fuzzy cutey is not the only Australian on the hunt for a comfy place to nap today.
Having said that….. I still managed to finish my log cabin-inspired Tired Teddy Labyrinth quilt top for my Island Batik November Ambassador challenge today. Everytime I spread it out, this flimsy makes me smile. It has been so much fun to put together so far!
