oh vickie you're so fine....
tradition is not static... it evolves

Molly, Great Aunt and I had a little outing yesterday. One of the many shops we popped into was AK traditions. My cousin had put me onto this shop a few years ago, have you been there?
Fluer (Great Aunt) spoilt Molly rotten (it runs in the family) and one of the things she bought her was an AK traditions colouring in book. I have photo copied a heap of the pages and will keep the actual book as reference.
Nic, Fi and I had morning tea yesterday and Fi helped me rule up my Very Hungry Caterpillar Quilt (not that I stuck to it or anything...)
Lot's more to cut, lots of white for sashing and some fancy blocks for the 4 corners. Stay tuned!
