My road to 'Hope Valley' love
I have been cavorting about in 'Hope Valley' lately.
When Denyse Schmidt's
Hope Valley
was first released, I confess I didn't immediately feel the love. I think I was still in mourning for the passing of '
Flea Market Fancy
', and was hoping for a reincarnation.
Like so many others
.
But then I saw this stunning Dresden plate made by Katy of
I'm a Ginger Monkey
. (Check out
her brilliant version
of 'Dotty for Dresden'). Oooh, I like that!
And then this! How very special. Gina of
Ginabean Handmade
chose to make my
Sweet Menagerie pattern
up in 'Hope Valley'! The love was gathering strength ...
After seeing this gorgeous little quilt
from Amy of
A Commonplace Life
, I was all but convinced that I should purchase some 'Hope' before it all sold out.
This lovely thing from Brioni at
Flossyblossy
, a stunning Jewel Box quilt, merely strengthened my resolve. 'Hope Valley' was destined to be my new favourite.
And just by the way, Brioni & Katy, along with some other talented bloggers are releasing an exciting new ezine called
Fat Quarterly
on 27th April. You can snatch an enticing glimpse of projects in Issue #1 over at
their blog
.
Unfortunately, the project I am working on with 'Hope Valley' is under wraps for a while, but I will certainly share it with you the moment I am allowed to!
ca·vort (kÉ™-vôrt')
verb
. To bound or prance about in a sprightly manner; caper; to have lively or boisterous fun; romp.
Yep, cavorting over here!
